NorthernV I E T N A M

Northern Vietnam is full of culture and natural wonders. Its three most popular destinations, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa, are also among the most visited in Vietnam. The origin of Vietnamese culture and history is mostly from this region, especially the area around Hanoi. Its shoreline contains many beautiful islands, some of which are untouched. Many backpackers also favor the impressive landscape in the northern mountains in Ha Giang and Sa Pa. With Hanoi consistently ranking among the world’s top 10 destinations by TripAdvisor, the region gets more touristy every day; one can now find European tourists as far as Ha Giang, one of the most remote provinces.

The Central Coast of Viet Nam is likened by the Vietnamese to the bamboo pole connecting the baskets of North and South. The Truong Son Mountains, which stretch all the way to the coast between Hue and Danang, have traditionally divided the country in two in terms of weather and dialect, although the actual demarcation line during the Vietnam War was slightly higher up at the 17th parallel to the north of Hue.

Hue offers valuable guests with blissful serenity lurking in the ancient citadel, in exquisite cuisine, in tree lined city streets, in spectacular countryside and lagoon landscapes. Such amazing heritage has made a photogenic Hue city which leaves any visitors a feeling of nostalgia for the old days.

Day trips by bicycle, vespa scooter, boat or just on foot with a fun supportive tour guide will definitely stun you about this unique-rhythm Hue.
