Top Three Must Visit Destinations in Vietnam

Chao ban! Of beautiful scenery, mouth-watering cuisine, great caphe (coffee) and dirt cheap booze, Vietnam has been one of the favourite destinations in Asia for many years. A country filled with unique heritage, rich history, Vietnam actually has so much for you to venture. Here are the top three must visit destinations in Vietnam : 

Hanoi

Vietnam’s capital city has undergone rapid transformations in recent decades and considered one of the most beautiful of the colonial Indochinese cities. Hanoi is a combination of old-world charm and modern developments brought on by its recent surge in tourism with its ancient and well preserved Vietnamese culture.

From crossing the busy motorbike-filled streets of Hanoi, lovely parks and museums to street side restaurants and world-class coffee, Hanoi has so much to offer for visitors. Not forgetting the traces of the city’s French colonial past are still evident in the building architecture, language spoken by the older ‘Hanoians’, or even the French baguettes sold in bakeries.

Ha Long Bay

“Ha Long” means “bay of descending dragons” is an archipelago made up of 1,969 islands. Located about 170km east of Hanoi in Northern Vietnam, Ha Long Bay is also the UNESCO World Heritage site.

The bay well-known for its scenic emerald waters and limestone islands is regarded as one of the natural wonders of the world. You could experience Ha Long Bay via Bai Chay tourist boats, budget and midrange cruises, or luxury cruises. For those who are a lot more adventurous, you could choose to kayak or take a seaplane for more panoramic views.

Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), the largest city in Vietnam, is often described as a vibrant, dynamic, highly energetic city that has everything a city traveller hope for. From the charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards, timeless temples to towering skyscrapers, classy restaurants to unassuming street stalls and the finest hotels to the cheapest guesthouses. And of course, shopping heaven Ben Thanh Market. 

Well, these are only a tip of the iceberg when it comes to Vietnam's diverse treasures.
