Vietnam Discovery: 14 days Vietnam
The sheer diversity of Vietnam caters to nearly every wandering soul. Within its spectacular seascapes and mountainous landscaping, Vietnam conceals its mysterious ethnic minority hamlets, extraordinary cascading rice terraces, a hotpot of cultures dating back thousands of years, one of the most vibrant food scenes in Southeast Asia, and many more.
This exploration is going to take you across the nation, from Hanoi, Vietnam's millennial capital city to Sapa, the North's main trekking base. Deal with yourself to a perfect getaway on the legendary karst-dotted seascape of Halong Bay - one of several New 7 Wonders of Nature with its tranquil emerald water.
Down the slender curves of Vietnam may be the idyllic Hue, Vietnam's formal imperial capital, that has all the grandeur and majesty to stir the interest of any history buff. Further south is Hoi An - actively playing the job of muse to any artist, its architectural consistency of buildings and the power grid formation of narrow alleys and lanes have magically turned Hoi An right into a de facto theme park.
Out from the serenity, Saigon bloomed as one of the most exciting cities in Asia but does not go for just that. The verdant Mekong Delta, the melting pot of cultures that are different offers another otherworldly aspect of Vietnam.
Why don't we spend a meaningful holiday in Vietnam becoming a part of the fluidity of her and examining her many facets acutely from the inside out in fourteen days with Top Vietnam Travel.
