PLACES OF INTEREST
Sapa
For a fantastic cultural taste of Vietnam and an insight into some of Vietnam’s 54 minority tribes, Sapa is a must see. Markets are held most days in Sapa and here you will witness some of the many hilltribe people, clad in their traditional dress, living their daily life. Walking in the picturesque mountains and visiting the local people’s villages is a wonderful experience.
Halong Bay
With its crystal clear waters and limestone karsts searching for the sky, Halong Bay is a picture postcard destination and a must for any complete visit to Vietnam. For a glimpse of this stunning area take the day tour from Hanoi and enjoy a four hour cruise with a fantastic seafood lunch. For a more in depth viewing, spend one or two nights on board a traditional “junk” cruising its tranquil waters and exploring the area fully.
Mekong Delta
Often referred to as the lifeblood of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a fertile region where much of the country’s rice, sugar cane and fruit crops are grown. Most popular is a visit to the floating markets near Can Tho, where traders barter their produce from their boats. Floating down the many canals and waterways is a great way to experience life in the Mekong Delta.
