How to Travel Like a Local and Feel at Home in Vietnam - Some useful pointers!

When visiting a new location these days, more and more individuals look for genuine opportunities to immerse themselves in the culture of the area. It's always preferable to try to travel like a native when you can. Vietnam is a "paradise forgotten" that offers travellers a wide variety of one-of-a-kind and genuine experiences that are incomparable to those offered at other travel locations.

1

Prepare Vietnamese cuisine

In Vietnam, you will have the opportunity to prepare regional specialities and savour the fruits of your labour. In most cases, the first thing you will do is go with your local expert to a lively market. While there, you'll have the opportunity to engage in conversation with local merchants and purchase some fresh products to utilise in the cooking session later on. You're going to have an experience that is one-of-a-kind thanks to the vibrant market's sounds, sights, and smells. Take a stroll around the vegetable gardens to educate yourself on the herbs and products as well as their conventional farming practices. After that, you’ll have a culinary session during which you will master the traditional methods of cooking and preparing a selection of local meals of your choosing. By following the chef's step-by-step demonstration of how to make each meal, you will have an opportunity to try your hand at making the dish as the chef watches over your shoulder. This is among the popular things to do in Mui Ne, so make sure you check it out. For a proper authentic fine dining experience, you may check out restaurants at properties like Anantara Mui Ne Resort.

Discover one of Hoi An's most important cultural legacies – the art of creating lanterns

If you spend even one night here in Hoi An, you will see that the streets are lighted up with a variety of traditional lanterns, which gives the town a beautiful appearance when it is dark outside. The villagers place a great deal of importance on the lanterns. They have the superstition that if they hang these lanterns at the entrances of their homes, it will bring them and their families good fortune, prosperity, and happiness.

While in Hoi An, go on an eco-tour led by local fishermen

During the journey, you will make a stop at a nearby fishing hamlet to get insight into the activities, families, and communities of the fishermen who live there. You may also master traditional fishing methods, accompany local fishermen, and acquire hands-on experience fishing with round nets and throw nets. An additional feature of the excursion is the opportunity to paddle the one-of-a-kind bamboo basket boats through the calm canals lined by coconut palms.

Take a tour around the countryside of Hue

Explore Hue and the landscape that surrounds it by getting on your bike and going on an adventure. You'll cycle through tiny canals as you make your way to the Thanh Toan Bridge, which is where you'll stop for a break and drink some freshly squeezed sugar cane juice. You will also pass rice fields, go through a few small villages, and also pass through some of those communities. Then you should make your way to an organic goods farm, where you’ll be educated about the farming process, and given the opportunity to sample a delectable meal that was prepared using the farm's own organic produce.

Floating market places

When you think about Vietnam, images of rice paddies, conical hats, as well as floating markets are likely to spring to mind. They go back centuries and have become an essential component of daily life in the Mekong Delta throughout the course of that time.
