Wandering around Northern Vietnam

Tuyen Quang 

Amidst the scorching mountain sun, the scenery of Tuyen Quang (formerly Ha Giang province) unfolds with breathtaking grandeur. The winding Ma Pi Leng pass, shrouded in clouds, overlooks the emerald green Nho Que River, like a soft silk ribbon, leaving travelers feeling a sense of awe mixed with freedom.

Ma Pi Leng Pass is breathtakingly beautiful.

Venturing deep into the Hmong villages, the vibrant colors of the girls' skirts blend with the innocent laughter of children, creating a lively and vibrant picture. This place is not only beautiful in its scenery, but also warm with its people; their sincerity, hospitality, and charming smiles bring a sense of peace to any visitor.

As night falls, by the crackling fire, with the wind blowing through the wooden roof, folk tales are told in a simple, unadorned voice. In that moment, listeners are drawn in, completely absorbed in the story, realizing that each journey is not only a quest for discovery, but also an experience deeply etched in their minds, reminding them of their culture and national identity.

Hanoi

If you visit the capital city in the summer, you will experience a very unique atmosphere, both familiar and distinctive, of Hanoi.

In the early morning, Ho Guom Lake is covered in a thin layer of mist, its surface rippling in the first rays of sunlight. People leisurely exercise, creating a slow pace of life amidst the bustling city. But in the late afternoon, the Old Quarter is bathed in golden sunlight, each ancient rooftop seemingly whispering stories of time.

The capital city in summer has a stifling heat that sometimes makes you want to slow down, but it also exudes a simple and very "Hanoi" beauty, making anyone who visits feel more attached to this place.

Traveling in Central Vietnam

Da Nang

With its youthful, dynamic, and vibrant pace of life, Da Nang welcomes summer with festivals and the lively atmosphere of a leading tourist city. The Dragon Bridge breathes fire, illuminating the night sky; the lush green My Khe beach stretches out, its waves gently lapping, inviting travelers… This city truly knows how to please and retain tourists by preserving both the urban beauty and the marine environment.

Da Nang knows how to balance urban beauty and the environment.

Therefore, once you've visited Da Nang, whether for work or leisure, you'll want to keep coming back. Because not many tourist cities strike such a balance between nature and urban life as this one.

Hoi An Ancient Town

Although located in Da Nang city, Hoi An Ancient Town is not bustling or vibrant with festivals; in summer, it is beautiful and attractive in a different way.

During the day, the narrow alleys are bathed in golden sunlight, the walls covered in the patina of time, creating a feeling that is both nostalgic and warm. As night falls, the old town shimmers with lantern light, and the Hoai River sparkles with floating lanterns. The moment of being immersed in this brilliant light is when one feels a sense of calm, wonder, and unusual delight.

Quy Nhon

In summer, Quy Nhon is a true "hidden gem" with Eo Gió and Kỳ Co: deep blue seas and pristine white sand beaches unlike anywhere else.

Not overly bustling or lively, Quy Nhon offers a "healing" experience. Simply sitting and gazing at the sea, listening to the wind blowing over the rocks, is enough to bring peace to the soul. It can be said that summer here is like a peaceful lull, allowing people to find balance after the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Exploring Southern Vietnam

Saigon

Known as the city that never sleeps, Saigon becomes even more vibrant and exciting in the summer. In the morning, you can enjoy coffee at sidewalk cafes near Notre Dame Cathedral, wander through the botanical gardens, and explore historical landmarks. At lunchtime, you can visit traditional markets and experience the diverse cuisine of this city from all over the world. And as the sun sets, don't forget to take some time to admire the crimson sky before the city lights come on brightly.

Nighttime in this city is the perfect time to have fun and enjoy yourself, as the heat has subsided, replaced by vibrant bars, bustling crowds, and overflowing joy. Saigon attracts not only with its natural beauty but also with its youthful, lively, and emotionally rich atmosphere.

Tay Ninh

Located next to Saigon, Tay Ninh attracts tourists in a different way. In the summer, Mount Ba Den is a destination for adventurous hikers and also a popular spot for spiritual tourism. The climb up the mountain may leave you sweating, but once you reach the summit, with the cool breeze blowing through your hair and the panoramic view of Tay Ninh stretching before you, you'll feel that nothing could be more worthwhile for a summer journey full of experiences.

Can Tho

Unlike Saigon or Tay Ninh, Can Tho city in summer is a harmonious blend of rivers, waterways, and fruit trees. The Cai Rang floating market is bustling with boats, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares echo across the water, creating a scene that is both rustic and vibrant. Fruit orchards laden with ripe fruit fill the air with their sweet fragrance.

The feeling of sitting in a small boat, swaying gently through the water, visiting orchards laden with fruit, and enjoying all sorts of fresh, delicious fruits... this is not just tourism, but also a unique cultural experience.

Pack your bags and go

So, this summer, Vietnam is a colorful map for you to explore. From the mountains and forests of Ha Giang, the ancient town of Hoi An, to the waterways of the Mekong Delta, each place has its own "vibe," its own story. So… Summer is here, let's travel around Vietnam!
