Tips for your trips. Tourist information. Official websites.

Vietnam will show you sides of Asia that you’ve dreamed of. Few countries are blessed with landscapes as captivating as those of Vietnam. For many, the country’s awe-inspiring limestone scenery, perfect beaches, islands, mountain ranges, rice fields and lakes are its greatest treasures.

Hanoi is of course the summit of Asian city life. It’s an incredible myriad of ancient traditions, old and modern architecture, sounds, smells, bustling commerce and famously crazy traffic. Spend a day or two in Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, the country’s largest city.

Nowhere are contrasts between old and new more ubiquitous and alive than here, where you’ll find ancient pagodas and traditional street life at the feet of giant skyscrapers.

*Sa Pa (map) – District is in Lào Cai Province, northwest Vietnam, 380 km northwest of *Hanoi close to the border with China. Sa Pa is a quiet mountain town and home to a great diversity of ethnic minority peoples.

This is seen especially in the paddy fields carpeting the rolling lower slopes of the Hoàng Liên Mountains.

*Ha Long Bay (map) — The bay is famous for its scenic ocean karst topography and is often included on lists of natural wonders of the world, including the UNESCO World Heritage list.

*Kon Tum / Kontum (map) – What nevertheless puts it on the map of interesting places in Vietnam are the surrounding minority villages, including settlements of the Sedang, Bahnar, Jarai, Gieh Trieng and Rengao ethnic groups.

*Phu Quoc island (map), off of the southwestern coast, is accessible to tourists from all countries without a visa for stays up to 30 days. Phu Quoc International Airport.

Some best picks in terms of natural wonders can be found in the country’s national parks.

For wildlife, try Cuc Phuong National Park (wikivoyage, map).
