Top 5 Must-Visit Places in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of the most popular of all tourist destinations, with a loyal following of regular returning visitors. The journey through the full length of the country is particularly popular, and the Mekong river trips are famous.

Vietnam is also one of the oldest, most diverse cultural mixes in Asia. Vietnam has a fascinating 2700 year history which has shaped its character. Every part of Vietnam has an incredible story to tell.

Many of Vietnam's regular visitors have their favorite places, tours and journeys. It's that sort of place, a preferred destination. Some people even do bicycle tours of the whole country, on a regular basis.

Luxury hotels in Vietnam have helped promote its tourism internationally, and have created a high standard of service and amenities. Resort accommodation of various kinds are also of a very high standard. In Vietnam there's an endless choice of incredible beach resorts and the equally stunning mountain and inland hostels.

Hanoi

Hanoi is now a modern, bustling city with excellent accommodation, luxury hotels and resorts. That appearance is slightly misleading. It's also an ancient city, and has a history that predates many Western nations. Hanoi tour packages are creative and imaginative and do justice to the past and the present. (Also check out the Ha Long Bay tours from Hanoi. Ha Long Bay is another gem in Vietnam's north.)

Danang

Danang is another of the older cities in Vietnam in the central part of the country, and it's something special. Danang has both incredible beaches and a backdrop of mountain and an inland area which is a trip in itself. Resorts in Danang are world class, and it's a good place to base yourself for exploring Vietnam.

Not to be missed are the Marble Mountains, a place near Danang, an area of five marble and limestone mountains named after the traditional elements, fire, air, earth, water and wood. It's also the home of brilliant sculpture, and if you're looking for value you'll find it there.

Hoi An

Just south of Danang is Hoi An. This place looks like it's part of China, and its cultural history includes Chinese, Cham, and the Sa Huynh (Yellow Sand) people. This was part of the Champa Empire, early Vietnam's southern neighbor.Hoi An, like Danang, has excellent resorts. This is a very peaceful place, with both modern facilities and a traditional environment.

Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, the old southern capital, has an astonishing history. It shows with every step through the city. The architecture, a mix of French colonial and modern, with an always interesting overlay of the indelible Vietnamese characteristics, is a tour of itself.

The Mekong

This is also the Mekong delta zone, where you can find the popular Mekong River with the big, famous, and irresistibly likeable riverboats. The giant Mekong River is justly famous for its own culture, a true international river running through six countries with a culture dating back for millennia.

Vietnam is truly loved by its regular visitors with superb resort accommodation and facilities. One trip there, and you'll see why.
