Visit hot destinations in Vietnam


If you are bored of Thailand and Japan and Korea are too cosmopolitan for you, you might want to discover Vietnam. Simply put, Vietnam is one of the last pristine, natural escapes in Southeast Asia. While Thailand is famous for its river markets and elephants, it is quickly sharing in the congestion, over development, and polluted cities that market many cities in Southeast Asia. If you are looking for a country with a wide diversity of natural attractions as well as many cities that remain unsaturated, unclogged, and relatively clean, you should consider Vietnam. While Laos is also fairly pristine, Vietnam has more travel infrastructure and offers a larger diversity of possible travel destinations. It is easier to get from place to place in Vietnam than in other comparable Southeast Asian spots. Here are the key ingredients for a memorable Vietnam tour.

Halong Bay
Legend has it that Halong Bay was created by dragons sent by the gods. Considering how otherworldly Halong Bay looks, it does seem that its legendary dragon origins might not be too far off the mark. How else to explain the almost ethereal look to this amazing coastline? You see, Halong Bay is made up of many small islets of rock that seem to float off the water. These green topped islets look like they are suspended off the water. Floating islands. Many of them. The whole Halong Bay scene seems like it came from a George Lucas film still but is actually quite natural. If you ride up to one of the many islands in the coastline, you will quickly realize that they are tree or vegetation topped limestone outcroppings that eroded in a distinct way. Thanks to many precise natural processes, Halong Bay looks like a scene out of a dream. Halong Bay transforms mere trips to Vietnam into the best Vietnam tours.

Hue City and Hanoi
If you are a history buff, you need to head on over to Vietnam's Hue City and also check out Hanoi. Harking back to Vietnam's royal past, these two cities bring back all the majesty of Vietnam's royal heritage. They stand as monuments to Vietnam's long-standing struggle to be free from Chinese influence and, much later, French influence. The history of Vietnam is one long series of struggles for freedom and a distinct Vietnamese culture. Originally colonized by Southern China, Vietnam eventually developed its own identity, and this shows clearly in Hue City and Hanoi. Explore these cities' streets and districts to see historical reminders of how Vietnam blossomed into its own. Due to their sheer history, Hue City and Hanoi help transform otherwise standard Vietnam trips into the best Vietnam tours.
