January 31st, 2010 - Places To Visit In Vietnam
Hanoi
If you are looking for one of the best tourist attractions for your Vietnam holidays, Hanoi is probably it. This big bustling city may seem a bit confronting at first, but give it a week or two and it will grow on you. Visit the famous must see Perfume Pagoda, and nearby Ha Long Bay and Sapa. Another great tourist destination the Old District.
Northeast Vietnam
Take a trip off the beaten track and visit regions like Cao Bang and Ha Giang. Most tourists never see these places. The average trip, taken on four wheeled vehicles, lasts about five days. To explore even wilder areas, add a couple of days to your journey.
Who’s Hue?
South of Hanoi is the ancient Vietnamese capital known as Hue. Take a few days to have a wander and see the sights, especially some of the wonderful old temples around the place.
Shop in Hoi An
A lovely beach is just the first of many great attractions in this wonderful city. You will never grow tired of looking at the incredible architecture in the beautiful streets of Hoi An, or picking up tailor-made clothes at bargain prices.
Submerge yourself in Nha Trang
If you are into scuba diving you will love Nha Trang. There are plenty of lovely beaches to investigate, and heaps of opportunities to get under the water and have a look at the marine life there. If diving isn’t really your thing you’ll probably only need a couple of days there.
Slip into Saigon
Saigon, or Ho Chi Minh city as it is also known, is business central in Vietnam. It’s even wilder than Hanoi! But it also has plenty of sights and activities on offer.
Mekong Delta
Hop in a boat and check out the floating markets of the Mekong Delta.
Phu Quoc Island - Leave the best for last
This island is located just south of Cambodia and is like a little piece of paradise. Though it is growing commercially, it is still unspoiled and can offer clear waters and beautiful, long beaches.
