Why Vietnam

Vietnam intrigues visitors with its various attractions ranging from the energetic bustle of Ho Chi Minh City to the serene, otherworldly scenery of Ha Long Bay.

Dynamic mix of ancient traditions and modern innovations in the country makes every journey a tapestry of stories, flavors, and experiences.

The summertime is always a lively season for the country, when the weather is warmer, the nature is charmingly green and people are more active outdoors, and to uncover every corner.

Stunning natural scenery is one of the key draws for travelers of this kind during this season.

Anyone visiting Vietnam has to see the emerald waters and towering limestone cliffs that comprise the famous Ha Long bay.

You can experience dramatic karst formations which have made this area world famous by cruising through the bay on a traditional junk boat.

Adventurous activities offered in the bay to be connected with nature like kayaking and exploring the caves are unforgettable for the adventure seekers.

And coupled with that, the charming and beautiful town of Hoi An which boasts beautiful ancient architecture, lantern lit streets and an artistic flair, is the perfect escape from bigger city chaos.

There is much to learn before a successful summer trip can be booked to Vietnam.

First and foremost thing that you need to know is about the local climate. Now, although the days are sunny and the evenings warm, it’s humid and the weather can be unpredictable.

You will be wise to pack only light, breathable clothes, good sunscreen, and a dependable raincoat.

Vietnam is also surprisingly affordable for the budget traveller.

There is no shortage of economical street food to eat, go to local restaurants and cafes, cost effective public transportation, etc.

Being in local guesthouses or boutique hotels not only offers comfort but also gives something more in the form of immersion into local culture.

Cultural inclusion into your trip

At the core of what makes any good travel experience, is cultural immersion.

It has much of its culture embedded in tradition, family and community and can be seen practiced in everyday life of Vietnamese.

While traveling, chat with local people and attempt to learn a few common phrases in Vietnamese.

A simple “Xin chào” (hello) often paves the doors open for warm interactions and valuable chats.

To better understand the cultural heritage of Vietnam, try interacting with local festivals, finding out about traditional markets, and visiting ancient temples.

We reviewed no travel blog about Vietnam without mentioning the local cuisine, because it’s delectable.

From fresh ingredients, aromatic herbs to a harmonious balance of flavors, the global world is attracted to Vietnamese food. 

From a bowl of pho eaten on some steamy street corner in Saigon or a banh mi at a street vendor, every meal is a wonder to savor.

For the foodies and adventure travelers, cooking classes and food tours will give you a deeper understanding about the regional ingredients and techniques that have put Vietnamese food on the list of favorites among the culinary spheres around the world.

Vietnam is the perfect balance for the traveler who wants to sightsee in the city as well as see the great outdoors.

From modern skyscrapers to colonial buildings and bustling markets you will find them in the metropolitan areas like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam is thrilled by the fast pace city life with the serene pastoral towns within its boundaries.

Rural villages make for great explorations, rice paddies for cycle rides, scenic mountain roads for motorbike tours — the urban rush is known to be cured by those.

Besides providing physical rejuvenation, these experiences also provide a glimpse into the traditional lifestyles that are still thriving among modernization.

Add on the best parts to itinerary

A good way to make the most of your summer in Vietnam involves planning your itinerary with a mix of well known attractions and hidden gems. 

For example, the ancient town of Hoi An can be coupled with a trip to My Son Sanctuary, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which lies close by, to get to know about the human remains of the ancient Champa civilization.

The same applies to spending a few days on the lesser known areas of Quang Ninh Province after a leisurely cruise through HaLong Bay where you can experience local life as it is, untouched natural perfection.

All about safe journey

Safety and convenience are also some aspects of your trip that you need to plan for.

Vietnam is a very hospitable country and well developed tourism infrastructure, so visitors are usually welcomed with open arms.

Nevertheless, make sure to secure your travel documents, beware in areas crowded with people, and have a plan B for unforeseen weather changes.

Before traveling, double check travel advisories and local guidelines.

Also, consulting reputable travel agencies and booking your accommodations in advance will make the experience seamless and prevent hassles.

Summer is here, the days got longer and warmer. Vietnam is the place that suits you if you have a plan to go for relaxation and adventure at the same time.

From a combination of modernity and tradition, a range of activities to choose — besides the vibrant city streets, to the serene natural landscapes, and the warmth of its people always present, Cambodia (near vietnam) is an ever growing country with a lot to offer for every kind of traveller as well.

Conclusion
