Travel Q&A
  • Vietnam offers a range of must-visit destinations. In Hanoi, explore historic sites like the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and One Pillar Pagoda. Halong Bay amazes with its dramatic limestone karsts, while Sapa invites you to trek through scenic villages. Hoi An charms with its ancient town and vibrant streets. These locations blend cultural heritage with natural beauty, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

  • The best way to explore the Mekong Delta is by boat. Join a guided tour to visit the famous floating markets like Cai Be and Cai Rang, where local vendors trade goods directly from their boats. You'll also experience traditional craft villages, lush orchards, and the unique waterway system that defines the region.

  • For cultural tours, spring (February to April) is the best time to visit Vietnam. The weather is mild in the north, ideal for exploring Hanoi and Sapa, while the central and southern regions remain warm, perfect for cities like Hue and Saigon. Avoid the rainy season (May to October) for dry, pleasant conditions.

  • Vietnam is rich in history. Notable sites include the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in Hanoi, My Son Sanctuary in Quang Nam (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Cu Chi Tunnels near Ho Chi Minh City, and the Imperial City in Hue. These landmarks offer a glimpse into Vietnam’s ancient dynasties, colonial past, and war history.

  • The trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay takes about 3 to 4 hours by car. For a scenic journey, take the train, which takes 5 to 6 hours. Both options offer easy access to Halong Bay, where you can explore stunning limestone islands and caves on a cruise.
