Vietnam, rising in its standing as a highly sought-after tourist destination offers pristine coastal lines, astonishing rivers, and Buddhist pagodas that have caught the attention of globetrotters from every corner of the world. Bordered by China, Laos and Cambodia, a vacation in Vietnam guarantees travellers access to a wealth of attractions, from culturally and historically significant sites to nature's wonders that will take your breath away. Below is a list of the top places worth a visit in Vietnam to add a hint of excitement to a long-awaited holiday.
Searching for a serviced apartment in Ho Chi Minh District 1 for your Vietnamese vacation? Choose D1mension Residences and explore the phenomenal city of Ho Chi Minh. This bustling city is a hub for excitement, history and culture combined. Discover Dong Khoi at the centre of Ho Chi Minh, which shelters a majority of the city's sites like the HCMC Museum, and the Notre Dame Cathedral which was built in the 19th century, allowing tourists to gain an insight into the city's past.
Pay a visit to a beloved UNESCO World Heritage Site in Vietnam. Halong Bay is one of Vietnam's most treasured locations that is blessed with spectacular views, letting your soul take flight into the far unknown. Be sure to sign up for at least an overnight exploration session at the bay as Halong Bay is better explored as night falls, and a day trip would not capture the glorious appeal of the site. These visits can be made by boat as the bay is best explored on water. Take a peek into the caves nearby that are certain to add a magical touch to your visit.
Hue is famed as one of the most historical towns with iconic landmarks and relics that date back to the Nguyen emperor's reign in the 19th century. The Imperial Enclosure, perched beside the Perfume River in Hue is bordered by a wall of 2.5 kilometres and shelters several notable structures like the Thai Hoa Palace, the Dien Tho Residence, Ngo Mon Gate and the Halls of Mandarins. Tourists can also access several other historical landmarks outside the boundaries of the Imperial Enclosure.
Discover the most alluring rural vistas in Vietnam by taking a ride to Sapa Countryside where nature reigns beneath a clear blue sky. The area is surrounded by the Hoang Lien Mountains, also known as the Tonkinese Alps during the French colonial era of the country. The countryside is also home to a group of ethnic minorities in Vietnam; namely, Dzao people, Hmong, and Diay.
Fancy sailing through the lake to admire and appreciate nature's marvellous gift to the people of Vietnam? The Ba Be National Park is thick green foliage, allowing guests to experience the ultimate getaway to Vietnam, embraced by the peaceful atmosphere of the vicinity. While hiking and trekking are encouraged for the ones who seek adventure, others can simply hop on a boat to explore the caves nearby.
