Vietnam Destination Holiday Notes

It is one of the most delightful Country in South-East Asia, a land of idyllic beaches, tranquil bays, coral islands, spectacular mountains, valleys and primal tropical forests, and is home to a warm-hearte and hospitable minority.

Really Facts about Vietnam

The population is 104 million (2009 updated) and the capital City is Hanoi. Economically the country is one of the “Asian Dragon” with annual growth rates around 8.4%. The distance between HCMC ( knew as Saigon~Far eastern Pearl) and Hanoi is 1700km by flight. There are an estimated 11 million motor bikes on the roads and when you leave you’ll feel as though you saw them all.

Best time go to Visit this delightful country

Wheres and Whens to go to this country is an important element because of the climate which varies greatly between the monsoonal north and the tropical central and south. There is no any time when it is ideal to visit both the north and the south though we were fortunate in November/December, experiencing warming, humid and mainly dry conditions in the south, wet and warm in the central and dry but cool conditions in the north with rain not far away.

We are high-recommend Some Top Places to See for you ( Never Miss )

01/ Hanoi: Hanoi, located in the Red River Delta has many ancient architectural works some of the more famous are the One Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature, Hanoi Citadel, Hanoi Opera House, President Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum,water puppet a traditrional performence of Red river Delta.

02/ Halong Bay: Halong Bay is located in the Gulf of Tonkin and consists of a dense cluster of 1,969 limestone monolithic islands. Each one of the islands are covered with thick jungle vegetation, which rise dramatically from the ocean.

03/ Sapa: situated among the greenery of the high Tonkinese Alps is one of the most enchanting of the Vietnam popular destinations. Sapa is one of those rare places in Vietnam which have the ability to provide a glimpse of the tribal life as it existed a couple of centuries ago.

04/ Hue: Hue is located in the central part of Vietnam 660 km from Ha Noi. Some of the interesting architectural sites include the Citadel which is in the centre of the historic city on the north side of the river, temples, pagodas and monuments. The most impressive buildings are the Imperial city, the Royal Citadel and the Emperors tombs.

05/ Cu Chi tunnels: In Cu Chi there is an immense network of connecting underground tunnels which are in fact part of a much larger network of tunnels that underlie much of the country.

06/ Hoian: Hoi An is an ancient town which lies on the banks of the Thu Bon River south of Danang. All the houses here have tile-roofs and narrow streets and a distinct Chinese atmosphere. The houses are made of rare wood and decorated with lacquered boards engraved with Chinese characters.

07/ Nha Trang: Nha Trang is one of Vietnam’s most popular seaside resorts, the reason being the seemingly endless empty beaches, coral reefs abundant islands and deserted bays.

08/ Ho Chi Minh City: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the best place for visiting the wonderful Mekong Delta where life revolves around the river where many people live on the water and depend on the water for fish and rice.

There is much much more to delightful Vietnam than I had have written here but hopefully there is enough for you to find something that interests and inspiration you.
