Vietnam holiday is much better. Entertainment and attractions

Vietnam is very interesting beautiful country, with its own character and culture. But it is not as popular in terms of tourism as Thailand, although it is very close. The reason for this is not weak infrastructure, inappropriate political system or bad character of the inhabitants. It's quite the opposite. Climate is the reason. Most of the country is located in a subtropical region with frequent monsoons. Only the southern part of the coast of Vietnam is in a hot, tropical and dry zone.

Vietnam is one of the five countries most dangerous in terms of natural disasters. Frequent tropical downpours over several months erode roads and wash away upper layer soils, cause landslides and mudflows. Even despite such difficulties, this is a very worthy country to see. The tourism industry here is developing very quickly. Therefore, you need to have time to see Vietnam as unspoiled as it is now.

In our article we will tell you what is good in Vietnam, what you can see and where to relax. Let's start from the north.

One of the northernmost towns in the country. It is surrounded by mountains about 3,000 meters high. The city itself is located at an altitude of more than one and a half kilometers. It’s worth spending a few days here to wander through the surrounding mountains, admire the man-made terraces for growing rice, and see the life of the mountain villages. From here you can cross the border into Laos.

Tourists who plan to visit not only beach hotels usually fly here. The city is very rich in attractions. It is very difficult to single out something. Many buildings in the city center remain from the times of French colonization. There are ancient temples and modern monuments. It's better to explore everything to the maximum:

• old quarters of Hanoi;
• Mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh;
• Park and Lake of the Returned Sword;
• Hanoi Fortress;
• water puppet theater;
• Quan Tha Temple;
• Cathedral of Saint-Joseph.

Ha Long Bay

A unique place, you won’t find anything like it anywhere else on our planet. It is also called the Bay of a Thousand Islands. There are really a lot of islands, more than 3000. It is worth seeing it both from a high point - an observation deck, and from the water - by taking a ride and even possibly spending the night on a boat in this bay.

Hue

The capital of the last dynasty of Vietnamese emperors. It is under the protection of UNESCO, which means there is something to see here. More than 300 historical, religious and cultural monuments are no joke.

Danang

One of the largest cities in the country. There are excellent beaches, shops, restaurants and interesting historical sites. This city is already suitable for a complete beach holiday.

City-museum. A huge number of temples, mountain peaks, beautiful landscapes. The Great River ran through Hoi An Silk Road. At the same time, there are magnificent beaches and few tourists.

Nha Trang

The most popular beach resort in Vietnam. Here you can find everything your heart desires. The only thing you won’t find is boredom and deserted beaches, especially in high season. Here is the highest concentration of hotels and tourists per square meter.

Phan Thiet

Great hotels different levels, golf courses, windsurfing, kitesurfing. There are constant winds blowing here, which lovers of boards, sails or kites adore. But here beach holiday in Vietnam it is better to spend it elsewhere.

Mui Ne

And in Russian - Muinovka or Muinya (forgive my French). Continuation of the beaches of Phan Thiet. If you are already tired of Vietnamese food, come here. Here you will meet familiar faces, familiar food, prices are 5 times higher than elsewhere and other attributes Russian life. It’s almost constantly stormy here, just like in Phan Thiet, so it’s better not to go here with small children.

Dalat – an unusual mountain resort

It was founded by the French who wanted to “escape” the sweltering heat of the south. Here they encountered alpine landscapes, waterfalls, rivers, and forests similar to their native ones.

Ho Chi Minh City - the southern capital of Vietnam

A large metropolis with all its attributes, into which an ancient town, once captured by the French, has turned. The Americans, during the Vietnam War, called it Saigon. In the USSR, the word Saigon was considered synonymous with robbery and vice. Those times have sunk into oblivion. Now it's beautiful city with an abundance of interesting monuments and places worth visiting. For example:

• palaces and buildings of the French colonial period;
• guerrilla tunnels of Cu Chi;
• Jade Temple;
• zoo and botanical garden;
• park areas - there are many of them here;
• markets and shopping complexes.

Phu Quoc

An island located in the Gulf of Thailand. Wide white beaches, jungles, temples, villages - an absolutely calm and measured lifestyle. People come here for this and nothing else. Although the island already has an airport, this does not prevent it from delighting its guests with the absence of fuss. At the same time, if you get tired of silence, you can easily go to noisy Ho Chi Minh City.

We hope this information helped you.

Have a nice trip to Vietnam!

Vietnam is one of the “rice civilizations” with ancient Buddhist temples lost in the jungle, underground guerrilla tunnels and a rich colonial heritage, perfectly preserved from French times. Vietnam is the Thailand of 20 years ago, not yet trampled by millions of tourists. “Fun, bright, inexpensive” - so in in three words can describe the local resort life. Incendiary discos until the morning, forbidden pleasures, excellent shopping, unimaginable exotic dishes... Or a relaxing holiday with children, romantic sunsets, mountain hikes and best photos as a keepsake. You choose what you like.

How to get there?

It takes approximately 9 hours to fly from Moscow to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City on regular Aeroflot or Vietnam Airlines flights. And this is the only point that can confuse beach lovers in winter. Our fellow citizens do not need a visa to Vietnam. And if you want to see more in one trip, it’s logical to combine a vacation in Vietnam with a visit to neighboring countries - China, Laos, Cambodia, Burma or Thailand. Where is the best place to relax? More on that later.

Which resort should you choose?

If you fly now or in the coming months, then a rain-free holiday is most likely in the south and center of the country. These are popular resorts: Phu Quoc Island, Vung Tau, Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, Nha Trang, Da Nang. Focus on flights to Ho Chi Minh City or Nha Trang, depending on the chosen resort. January and February are “velvet” months, it’s comfortable to relax, the air and water are +25...+28 °C. In March and April it is hot and dry, the temperature is +30…+35 °C. In the summer months, it is better to choose resorts in Northern Vietnam with a flight to Hanoi. And now we will briefly describe the most popular and rated resorts in the country, where you should go first.

Nha Trang

Nha Trang and its antipode Phan Thiet top the rating of preferences of Russian tourists. Nha Trang Bay takes an honorable 29th place in the world ranking of the most beautiful resort bays. Nha Trang (Russians from Far East they say “nishtyang”) is growing and developing rapidly, new hotels of international hotel chains appear every year. Many restaurants, shops, colorful markets, a beautiful resort promenade. You won't be bored. After or instead of the beach, you can go on a boat to the neighboring islands - see the monkeys or hang out for the whole day in an amusement park. Temple complexes, Buddha statues, pagodas are the cultural component of the resort. And you can improve your health in local mud baths and thermal baths. Nha Trang has a lot of European youth, decent clubs with trendy DJs, and a good selection of inexpensive alcohol. A few disadvantages: most hotels are on the second line; Locals come to the city beach, which is used by most tourists, in the late afternoon; after work, they like to relax here with their children. And in the summer months there are a lot of jellyfish near the shore.

Phan Thiet

The complete opposite of Nha Trang. Relaxed, democratic, inexpensive. Most of the hotels are two- or three-story cottages on the shore, comfortably hidden in palm groves. Here everyone smiles at each other, there is no crowd on the beaches, only the sea, the sun and a light, fresh breeze. If flip-flops (aka “flip-flops”), shorts and a white Panama hat are your style of relaxation, but you want to forget about the dress code at least for a while, this is definitely the place for you. Tourists come with children because it is inexpensive, sandy beaches and the entrance to the water is gentle. Couples find romantic sunsets and time to be alone in Phan Thiet. Lovers of large portions of seafood with ice-cold beer will find relaxation here, and local masseuses will make you see “the sky in diamonds” with their little hands. There are no particularly interesting attractions in Phan Thiet and the surrounding area. Tourists tired of the sun prefer to dilute their idle lying on the sand with water sports. And the downside is perhaps the only one. From the nearest airport in Ho Chi Minh City, it will take 5-6 hours to get to the resort by bus or taxi.

Mui Ne

A neighbor of Phan Thiet, this resort is loved by outdoor enthusiasts. Thanks to the constant wind, there is an ideal wave for surfers and kiters and several dozen specialized schools with professional instructors. The prices are tolerable: an hour of windsurfing costs about $50, kitesurfing costs $70. Many speak Russian, and there are several establishments where you will be treated to borscht and dumplings. True, prices at the resort are higher than in Phan Thiet, again thanks to a large number our tourists. On the central street of Mui Ne you will find spas and massage parlors, cafes and souvenir shops.

Phu Quoc

An island resort in the very south of the country, in the Gulf of Thailand, just 15 km from the coast of Cambodia. Considering the size of the island (the largest island in Vietnam is the size of Singapore), there is plenty of room to expand here. Active tourists choose trekking through the jungle, kayaking and canoeing, walks through numerous gardens and parks, and excursions to pearl factories. And diving in coastal waters is considered the most interesting and inexpensive in the country. But most importantly natural wealth The islands have luxurious sandy beaches stretching for many kilometers. There are still very few tourists on the island, although the infrastructure is rapidly developing. Hotels, casinos, golf courses, shopping and entertainment complexes, a new airport has appeared. But today it is still a calm, clean and still inexpensive resort. Best place you won't find anything for a quiet family or romantic holiday in Vietnam.

Vung Tau

A popular family resort 130 km from Ho Chi Minh City. It is almost as large and famous as Nha Trang, but there is no vibrant nightlife here. But in the evening you can while away the time in bars with live music, which is very rare for Vietnam. The beaches are wide and sandy, in the former villas of the French aristocracy there are now restaurants and guest houses. The choice of hotels is also decent, for every taste and budget. Buddhist temples, pagodas, parks, a former royal residence, caves and underground tunnels - there is where to walk and what to see. There are two disadvantages: petty theft on the beaches and the presence of oil drilling platforms in the water area.

Con Dao

“Let’s catch up and overtake Thai Phuket!” – this is roughly how one can voice the ambitions of the Vietnamese tourism authorities on the islands of this archipelago in the South China Sea. The first description of the islands belongs to Marco Polo, and Con Son (the old name of Con Dao) received its notorious fame thanks to the most terrible prison for political prisoners in Vietnam. Today it is a young resort with beautiful beaches and the best Six Senses hotel complex. Most of the island is occupied by a National Park, with many interesting dive sites and fishing spots.

Dalat

A popular international mountain resort in the south of the country, 300 km from Ho Chi Minh City. These places are reminiscent of the French Alps with their mild climate and natural beauty. And it was built during the French colonization of Indochina as a mountain refuge from the sweltering heat. It is cooler here than on the coast, and daytime temperatures, even in the hottest summer months, do not exceed 25 °C, and at night drop to a comfortable 15 °C. From November to April is the dry season, it is better to come at this time. Dalat can be compared to Ubud in Balinese. Here are the best spas and massage parlors in the country, and also offer several options for treatment and healing using traditional oriental methods. These are acupuncture, Vietnamese herbal massage, Indian massage, Tibetan practices of facial and body massage with warm basalt stones. And Dalat has the best themed restaurants serving Vietnamese and French cuisine. As souvenirs, tourists buy the famous Luwak coffee (a palm marten has already feasted on its beans), artichoke tea, ceramic dishes inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and premium quality silk products. It’s logical to combine Dalat with a holiday on the beaches of Nha Trang and a few nights in Ho Chi Minh City.

Danang and Hoi An

The most popular seaside resorts in Central Vietnam. Best season for a beach holiday - March and April. Da Nang has a modern international airport, the city is the fourth largest and the industrial center of Vietnam. Nevertheless, it is very picturesque, there are several nearby good beaches, including the famous China Beach - a place for youth hangouts and surfing stations. And 40 km away is the cozy town of Hoi An with a huge number of temples, pagodas, art salons, silk and souvenir shops. This is a museum city; 844 historical monuments are officially registered in it. Here you should try authentic Vietnamese cuisine and inexpensively replenish your summer wardrobe with handmade silk items, literally sewn in front of you. The ancient imperial capital of the country, the city of Hue, is a place of pilgrimage for tourists, history buffs and adventurers a la Indiana Jones, located a few hours away by car from Da Nang.

Halong and Haiphong

Ha Long Bay is a very beautiful and unusual place in northern Vietnam. From Hanoi it takes 3-4 hours (150 km) by bus or taxi. If you've seen James Cameron's film Avatar, the cliffs of Ha Long will remind you of the floating boulders of the planet Pandora. Only in Ha Long do they stick out bizarrely from turquoise waters bay. The best way to spend a few days in Ha Long is on board a wooden cruise ship. So you can bathe to your heart's content in warm and clean water, visit the most beautiful and interesting places, buy authentic souvenirs in the floating village, go down to the mysterious caves on the shore and take the best selfies of your life. And don’t forget to try the local delicacy – sweet and sour fish baked in sugar. Halong is also famous as a filming location for the films “Indochina” with Catherine Deneuve in leading role and Tomorrow Never Dies with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Haiphong is a cozy resort town not far from Halong. It is reminiscent of Hanoi twenty years ago with its clean flower-filled boulevards, colonial houses and leisurely pace of life. In addition to good shopping, the city has many temples, inexpensive restaurants, and a decent zoo. The proximity to Hanoi makes it easy to visit Halong and Haiphong in one trip, along with a few days' stop in the capital.

Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

A description of the resorts will be incomplete without mentioning the main cities of Vietnam, which are usually visited by almost all tourists, because they air gate countries. These cities are definitely worth attention and at least a short introductory visit.

Hanoi is the capital of the country. This city will not leave anyone indifferent: the old french houses surrounded by greenery, and two steps around the corner there are ancient temples. Halt a rickshaw and ride along the city boulevards, and in the evening catch a performance at the Theater on the Water. Have dinner at a national restaurant, and the next morning go take a photo at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, look into the Temple of Literature and be amazed at the elegance of the One Pillar Pagoda and throw a coin into the Lake of the Returned Sword. And if you have time and energy left, go for a while to the mountains to the former French resort of Sapa. In one day in Sapa you can feel all four seasons, enjoy natural beauty, see the unique Tafin Underwater Palace and the Thac Bak Silver Waterfall. And the bravest and most resilient will be able to climb the highest peak of Indochina, Mount Fansipan (3,143 m).

Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, as locals and American tourists habitually call it, is the main city of South Vietnam. Saigon is interesting during the day and does not sleep at night. Colonial buildings of the last century peacefully coexist with skyscrapers, shopping centers and office buildings. You'll be impressed by the former Presidential Palace, and you can buy interesting finds from local designers on Dong Hoi Boutique Street. Military history buffs will be interested in descending into the guerrilla tunnels of Cu Chi, while families with children will appreciate a river cruise along the Mekong with lunch and a visit to a snake nursery. And in the evening it’s so nice to admire the bright lights and life boiling below, while sipping a cocktail or a cool beer at the hotel’s rooftop bar. And with renewed vigor, go in search of “adult” night adventures after an invigorating foot massage. In terms of the number and density of bars, discos, and entertainment on the edge, Saigon is not inferior to Bangkok.

Today’s article contains a detailed report on what recreational opportunities this country provides.

3. You can try to bargain, especially if the purchase is supposed to be from street vendors and those who sell goods on the beaches;
4. When buying in a supermarket you need to pay attention to the price tags: tourists are sometimes deceived by simply punching one product several times;
5. When traveling around the country, you need to watch your wallet, pockets and bag;
