Below are all things to see & do in this tourPlease, click at "Read more" for details!
Situated on the bank of Red River, Hanoi is considered a pearl of Southeast Asia. With historic temples and pagodas, well-preserved colonial structures and exquisite cuisine, Hanoi offers its guests a unique and charming experience to be found nowhere else.
Ha Long Bay (literally “Bay of Descending Dragon”) is a must-see for any visitor to Vietnam.
Mai Chau is a westernmost district of Hoa Binh Province, around 135km from Hanoi.
About 100km from Hanoi, Ninh Binh is an increasingly popular destination in the North of Vietnam. Ninh Binh’s appeal is a blend of endearing history and fairy-tale nature. It is blissfully created with spectacular mountains, rivers, grottos and primitive forests. Ninh Binh is also proud to be the first imperial capital of Vietnam.
Among the famous tourist cities in Vietnam, Hue is unique. It is a beautiful, quiet and relaxing city, rich in nature, architecture, and art.
Hue is also the only city in Vietnam that has a poetic river flows its way through the city. Perfume River and the historic Trang Tien Bridge have become a symbol of Hue romance and charm.
Hue is best known for its imperial citadel, royal mausoleums, and iconic pagodas. Not only a favorite destination for architectural enthusiasts, but Hue also makes a mecca for gastronomes in Vietnam. The city boasts a rich and fantastic cuisine. About two thousands of Vietnamese traditional dishes take origins from Hue and eating and drinking has become a refined art in this old capital of Vietnam.
Mirrored in the poetic Thu Bon River, the little postcard-setting Hoi An is perhaps the most beautiful old town in Vietnam. Not as majestic as Hue or flamboyant as Cho Lon in Saigon, Hoi An with its gentle grace is a big surprise to any jaded mind. Its quiet lanes lighted with lanterns, sleeping old houses and dazzling riverfront restaurants, carry an echo of history and charm.
Ho Chi Minh City went by several different names: the French figuratively put it “Pearl of the Far East”, the American named it “Saigon” and the Chinese called it “Cho Lon”.
Ben Tre is a little province in the east of Mekong Delta, being wedged between two main arms of Tien River. Ben Tre shares borders with Tien Giang, Tra Vinh, and Vinh Long. It has one township also called Ben Tre and 7 other small districts, including Ba Tri, Binh Dai, Chau Thanh, Cho Lach, Giong Trom, Mo Cay, and Thanh Phu. The province also accounts for the greatest part of Khmer ethnic population of the region.
Can Tho is the heart of Mekong Delta, formerly the Capital of southern Vietnam or Tay Do. It is a city of poetic landscape, vibrant local markets and fantastic food. Wandering around its revierside streets lined with restaurants and cafes, indulging in cool breeze from the Hau river and wrapping up a day in magnificent sunset, you will catch an essence of the city. Can Tho also makes a great base to explore the endless waterways of Mekong Delta.
Chau Doc is an interesting destination to explore: its spectacular mountains, unique floating fishing houses, and historic temples and pagodas.
Thanks to its 100km border with Cambodia, Chau Doc is getting more and more popular among travelers who are interested in entering Cambodia via the waterway.
The famous archaeological site of Angkor is located 7 km from Siem Reap downtown. This monumental complex comprises more than a hundred temples, palaces and pagodas built between the ninth and fourteenth century during the reign of King Suryavarman II.
Phnom Penh is a city of amazing architecture stamped with diverse influences, mainly French. Phnom Penh also makes a perfect base for many fantastic discoveries to surrounding areas.
