Things To Do In Vietnam

Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country bordering the South China Sea with beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas, and lively cities. The capital, Hanoi, has a massive marble monument dedicated to Ho Chi Minh, the country's famed Communist-era leader. French colonial landmarks, as well as Vietnamese War history museums and the C Chi tunnels, which were utilised by Viet Cong forces, may all be found in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). 
Its stunning beaches, affordable lodging, and delicious food have placed it at the top of most travellers' bucket lists for the region. However, in recent years, Vietnam has begun to capture the focus in Southeast Asia, providing tourists with less congested and cheaper options. 
Vietnam is an amazing combination of natural wonders and cultural diversity. The environment varies from towering peaks visible from twisting mountain routes to luscious paddy fields painted in every shade of green, while Vietnam's ancient history and diversified people (with over 50 ethnic minority groups) make a trip here rich in history. 
Hiking, motorcycling, and kayaking are popular activities in several national parks, but Vietnam's most famous natural tourism site, the breathtaking karst seascape of Halong Bay, is one natural marvel that even the most slothful may view up close on a cruise. 
While the countryside offers gorgeous views, the main cities are bustling with activity and offer plenty of opportunities to sample Vietnam's delectable cuisine. This interesting country is one of Southeast Asia's most underappreciated places. Use our list of the greatest locations to visit in Vietnam to plan your sightseeing.

What could be more peaceful than floating in the azure water under the sun? Allow the waters of Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc Island, or Mui Ne to wash away your worries. Vietnam is home to a number of the world's best beaches. Most of them are swimmable, and there are also options for water sports. Kite- and windsurfing are available in Nha Trang, for example. Enjoy one of Da Nang's world-class beach resorts, ideal for couples and families alike. Enjoy the peace and quiet of Mui Ne while arranging your seafood supper adventure. Vietnam is a must-see for beach lovers. Vietnam has a coastline that runs for almost 2,000 kilometres and sometimes feels like three separate countries. During the same time of year, the climates of Vietnam's three major regions (north, central, and south) can be very different—for example, it may be snowing in the far north highlands while temperatures in the extreme south reach 90 degrees. From North Vietnam's mountains and bays to Central Vietnam's farmlands and South Vietnam's deltas, each region has its own distinct landscape.

The weather in Vietnam varies greatly as you travel north to south, from moderate to tropical temperatures. While this diversity makes Vietnam a year-round destination, the best time to visit the country is in the spring (March to April), when days are generally nice, temperatures are reasonable, and rainfall is mild. During the rest of the year, tropical monsoons bring heavy rains and flooding, while excessive temperatures may make summer days unbearably hot and sticky.

Have you always liked Vietnamese cuisine? Toronto's Pho Hung, New York's Nam Son near Bowery Le Lotus Blanc on Paris's Bourgogne- They'll never be as authentic as Vietnamese cuisine (though they all do an awesome job). Vietnamese cuisine differs by area and goes beyond pho and spring rolls: fresh vegetables continue to reign supreme, while beef and fowl are gaining popularity. You may find plenty of fresh seafood caught in the morning along the shore in places like Nha Trang and Da Nang, and served in your supper for a very low price. A large king crab costs around $8 and serves two individuals.

Vietnam hosts festivals all year long, many of which are unheard of in the West and are fascinating to learn about. The Tet festival, for example, is an excellent opportunity to observe how families honour their ancestors and one another. Tet should not be confused with Chinese New Year, as this may be offensive to some nationalists. It is similar to the Lunar New Year in many aspects, but with a Vietnamese twist. 
People remain overnight in the countryside, for example, to prepare Chung cake over a fire and share end-of-year gossip. A buffalo battle festival is a well-known event in Hai Phong, during which the winning buffalo is slain and delivered to the village god. Even public holidays in Vietnam are worth attending: on September 2nd, there will be statewide parades. The red flags will illuminate the entire street, and at night, pyrotechnics will light up the sky. See what events you may attend on your next trip by visiting Ootlah’s website.
