Huy, 46, embarked on an exploration of Turkey in late October, immersing himself in the region's rock valleys, ancient towns, and historical relics that span millennia.
"Turkey is a meeting point between Europe and Asia, rich in history, culture, and cuisine," he shared with his over 25,000 Instagram followers.
Cappadocia, located in Nevsehir province, 290 km from Ankara, was the centerpiece of Huy's journey.
The area is known for its otherworldly rock valleys, enigmatic underground cities, and the iconic hot air balloons dotting its skies.

Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to November) are considered the most ideal times to visit Cappadocia thanks to its cool, pleasant climate.
Situated 756 km from Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 1985.
The most distinctive feature of Cappadocia is its remarkable rocky landscape, with each valley showcasing different formations, such as mushrooms, chimneys, and spires.
These geological marvels stem from sedimentary and volcanic rock layers deposited by a massive eruption approximately three million years ago.

During his visit, he explored famous sites such as the Rose, Love, Pigeon, Pasabag, and Red Valleys, as well as Uçhisar town and Goreme village.
Back in Istanbul, Huy visited the Basilica Cistern, an underground architectural marvel.
It was constructed in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian I and used to serve as the main water reservoir for the Byzantine palace.
Despite being an underground water cistern, the Basilica Cistern is often compared to a grand palace, with hundreds of stone columns arranged in perfect rows. Each column measures over 50 cm in diameter and stands 9 meters tall.
A unique feature of this cistern is the presence of two Medusa head statues used as column bases, believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
Huy visited the Museum of Fine Arts and Sculpture in Istanbul and took photos beneath "İsimlerin Şehri İstanbul", a sculpture by Ahmet Güneştekin located in Galataport.
Huy graduated from Chapman University in the U.S. with a master's degree in business administration in 2002, at the age of 24.
He returned to Vietnam and applied for a job at ACB, where his father Tran Mong Hung was chairman and a co-founder. He spent three years working at the bank before going back to the U.S. to pursue a doctorate degree in economics at the Golden Gate University.
He came back to Vietnam and was appointed deputy CEO of ACB. In 2012, he was promoted to chairman at the age of 34.
