Outstanding Location
HANOI
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a city where
ancient history meets vibrant modern life. With over a thousand years of
history, Hanoi is home to numerous cultural treasures, including the Temple of
Literature, the Old Quarter, and the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake. Visitors can stroll
through narrow streets filled with French colonial architecture, bustling
markets, and aromatic street food stalls. Don’t miss the chance to try pho, egg
coffee, and other local delicacies. Hanoi’s charm also lies in its slower pace compared
to other big cities, with lakes, green parks, and peaceful pagodas offering a
retreat from the bustle. The city’s blend of East and West, old and new,
creates a unique atmosphere found nowhere else. Whether you’re watching a water
puppet show or riding a bicycle around the Old Quarter, Hanoi promises an
unforgettable experience.
HOI AN
Hoi An is a beautifully preserved ancient town in
central Vietnam, known for its timeless charm, lantern-lit streets, and rich
cultural heritage. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hoi An blends Vietnamese,
Chinese, and Japanese influences through its architecture, historic merchant
houses, and centuries-old temples. Walking through the narrow streets feels
like stepping back in time, especially at night when colorful lanterns illuminate
the town. Visitors can explore local markets, take a traditional boat ride on
the Thu Bon River, or join a cooking class to learn authentic Vietnamese
dishes. Hoi An is also famous for its tailor shops, where custom-made clothes
are crafted within a few days. Just a short bike ride away are stunning beaches
and peaceful rice fields. Whether you’re seeking history, cuisine, or
relaxation, Hoi An offers a magical escape and is often considered one of the
most beautiful and romantic destinations in Southeast Asia.
MEKONG DELTA
The Mekong Delta is a must-visit destination for
travelers seeking the authentic heart of southern Vietnam. Known as the “rice
bowl” of the country, this lush region is a vibrant maze of rivers, canals, and
green rice paddies. A tour through the Mekong Delta offers unforgettable
experiences—from cruising on traditional wooden boats through floating markets
to visiting peaceful villages, tropical orchards, and local workshops. Life
here moves to the rhythm of the river, offering a deep look into Vietnam’s rural
culture and hospitality. Highlights include Cai Rang Floating Market, coconut
candy making in Ben Tre, and traditional folk music performances. Visitors can
also enjoy a home-cooked meal at a local family’s house or cycle through scenic
countryside paths. Rich in nature, culture, and simplicity, the Mekong Delta
tour is perfect for those looking to explore beyond the cities and discover
Vietnam’s true essence.
