After breakfast, strike out on a full-day tour of some of Hanoi’s fascinating sights showcasing the more than 1,000-year-old history of this graceful capital city. 

Highlights include: the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s oldest university, with its ancient collection of peaceful courtyards and gardens built in homage to the Chinese scholar Confucius; a walking tour through some of the Old Quarter’s 36 streets named after the original craft guilds making products of tin, silver, bamboo and more.

Stroll through the labyrinthine back alleys for an authentic look at local life amongst temples and traditional houses as your guide makes Hanoi’s history come alive with stories of this ancient capital. Visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, an imposing structure that houses the preserved remains of the country’s former president revered for leading the fight for Vietnam’s independence from colonial French rule.  Nothing is quite as representative of Hanoi as the iconic Ngoc Son Temple (also known as the Temple of the Jade Mountain) situated on a tiny island on fabled Hoan Kiem Lake. Also take in a traditional water puppet show, an age-old art form which originated in the Red River Delta as a way to fuse puppetry and music to tell fables and folk stories.

Enjoy refreshment stops during the day including a velvety smooth Vietnamese coffee at a café overlooking Hoan Kiem Lake and a traditional Vietnamese lunch with a contemporary twist at Home Restaurant, a vintage-chic eatery housed in a beautifully restored 1930’s French-era villa with views over tranquil Truc Bach Lake. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon and prepare for check-out.

Evening transfer to the train station where you will board the Victoria Express Train to Lao Cai, gateway to fabulous Sapa.

Transfer 1 hr from the Lao Cai Train Station, just minutes from the Chinese border, to the stylish Victoria Sapa Resort & Spa where a beautiful buffet breakfast awaits. Sip a velvety smooth Vietnamese drip coffee as you look out over Mount Fansipan, Indochina’s highest peak. In the afternoon, get your first taste of Sapa with a half-day excursion to Suoi Ho - Ma Tra Village. Take a walk around the village populated by ethnic minorities for a little insight into the villagers' way of life. Your driver will pick you up around 17h30 to bring you up to the town. In the evening, sit down to a lovely dinner at Ta Van Restaurant, with a seat by its large central fireplace or on the outdoor terrace with views over the nearby mountain range. The restaurant also features traditional performances by H’mong and Thai minority dancers on select evenings (Saturday).

Overnight at Victoria Sapa Resort & Spa , a 77-room boutique property designed to embody the spirit of Sapa, from its stone and wood buildings that evoke the feel of an exclusive Alpine lodge to the wooden floors and locally-woven textiles in each stylish guest room.

Transfer approximately 30 km to Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort & Spa , an elegant 109-room boutique hotel situated directly on Cua Dai Beach and backed by the river.

Day 7: Hoi An – Boat trip to Coconut Forest

After breakfast, set off on a morning cruise on the De Vong River to the Bay Mau Water Coconut Forest. This “green lung” of Hoi An features tranquil waterways flanked by water coconut palms and rustic villages. 

Gain insight into the lives of the local fishermen as you watch them manipulate the large “ro” nets from your vantage point on a traditional circular basket boat.

Back on board the ship, observe the mesmerizing riverscapes glide on by as you feast on tasty tapas freshly prepared by our chef and enjoy a blissful foot massage by therapists from the Victoria Spa. The afternoon is at your leisure.

Take advantage of the many complimentary services from  Victoria Hoi An Resort & Spa , a Tai Chi session (reservation required), or perhaps a set of tennis.

We also highly recommend taking the complimentary shuttle into the pedestrian-friendly Ancient Town and strolling among its historic shop houses-turned-boutiques, visiting the many atmospheric Chinese temples or Hoi An’s iconic Japanese covered bridge.

Hoi An is also famed for its high-quality, custom-made clothing and leather goods, many of which can be tailored in as little as 24 hours.

Day 8: Hoi An - Sidecar to the Countryside

Enjoy a lovely buffet breakfast spread, including Hoi An’s famed noodle soup, at L’Annam Restaurant overlooking the resort’s beachside infinity pool. 

Spend the morning exploring the picturesque countryside of Hoi An by vintage sidecar, providing a unique perspective from which to photograph the area’s lush rice fields and single-craft villages that grew from when Hoi An was a prosperous port city in the Middle Ages.

Choose from one of two 2-hour routes:

• Route 1 explores the nearby countryside with its organic gardens, quiet fish and shrimp ponds, and gentle water buffalo working the rice fields. Also visit the Thanh Ha Pottery Village on the banks of the Thu Bon River where multi-generational families still hand-make ceramics from local clay using a foot-powered potter’s wheel. 
• Route 2 explores life lived on and by the water at the Cam Thanh Coconut Village where fishermen can be seen casting their circular nets on the river bordered by coconut palms. Stop at the Kim Bong Carpentry Village to see artisans hand-crafting everything from intricate sculptures with mother-of-pearl inlay to large river and seagoing vessels out of wood.

Spend a lazy afternoon by the resort’s private stretch of golden sand beach or on a sun lounger by the palm-fringed infinity pool or perhaps return to the Ancient Town for some last-minute souvenirs.

Day 9: Hoi An Flight to Ho Chi Minh city – Evening Street Eats

After a leisurely buffet breakfast featuring French pastries, freshly squeezed juices and iced Vietnamese coffee, transfer to the Danang International Airport for the short flight to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s vibrant economic and entertainment hub.

Check in to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh city. Our partner hotel is situated in a prime location of Ho Chi Minh City, and offers easy access to famous city attractions, shopping centers, and commercial buildings. In the late afternoon, explore Saigon’s amazing street food scene on a culinary walking tour.

As Vietnam’s largest city, Saigon draws residents from all over the country who bring with them their favorite regional specialties, making Saigon one of the world’s best foodie destinations.

Come with an empty stomach and an adventurous spirit as you sample some of Vietnam’s best street foods including stuffed “ banh mi ” baguettes, flame-grilled barbecue skewers, tasty noodle dishes, Vietnamese sweet puddings and perhaps even a grilled rice paper “pizza” served at streetside stalls which pop up just in the evenings.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner (Street Food)

Day 10: Essence of Saigon

Bustling Saigon with its 8 million residents and 8 million motorbikes retains a charm all its own through its carefully choreographed chaos, tree-lined boulevards, and pale yellow colonial-era buildings next to modern skyscrapers.

See some of the highlights of this metropolis once known as the “Pearl of the Far East” on a full-day tour. In the morning, visit some of the city’s downtown sights by private car, including the graceful Central Post Office and the Opera House, both reflecting French-Vietnamese architectural elements from the late 19th century.

Also experience Ben Thanh Market with its iconic clock tower, the Reunification Palace with its stately meeting rooms and beautifully landscaped gardens, and the War Remnants Museum for a sobering look into the American War through the eyes of the Vietnamese people.

Enjoy a cooking demonstration and lunch at the elegant Mandarine Restaurant featuring traditional Vietnamese cuisine with touches of French influence.

In the afternoon, swap car for cyclo, a traditional pedal-powered form of transportation that’s ideal for exploring the alleyways of Saigon’s Chinatown, also known as Cho Lon. 

Originally a separate city established by Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century, Chinatown provides a fascinating look back in time with its incense-filled pagodas, traditional herbal medicine shops and colourful neighbourhoods.

In the late afternoon, head up to one of Saigon’s highest buildings, the 68-storey Bitexco Tower, for sweeping views of the Saigon skyline including the Saigon River as it winds its way past skyscrapers and rice fields. Enjoy a leisurely cocktail at Café EON on the 50th floor as the sun begins to set over Saigon. Transfer by car back to your hotel with the evening at your leisure.

Day 11: Saigon - Cai Be Princess - Can Tho

Morning departure from Saigon by private car for a 2 hr drive southwest to Cai Be, gateway to the Mekong Delta. The friendly crew of the Cai Be Princess welcomes you on board the luxury sampan with a chilled towel and refreshing drink as you begin cruising the local waterways.

Observe as life unfolds on the river banks, an ever-changing kaleidoscope of peaceful landscapes and industrious river folk, while enjoying a cup of hot tea and fresh fruit from the Delta, Vietnam’s “Rice Bowl”.

The morning’s shore excursions include a row boat trip at Tan Phong Islet to explore its narrow canals and hidden mangroves, a visit to a 19th-century home to admire Indochinese architecture and stops at local workshops turning out treats like coconut candy and puffed rice (the local equivalent of popcorn).

Disembark at Le Longanier Restaurant for lunch at this exquisite colonial-style villa set in a lush tropical garden by the river, an elegant throwback to life during Indochinese times. The beautifully presented set lunch showcases some of the wonderfully unique products of the Mekong Delta.

After lunch, drive 1.5 hrs to Can Tho, the largest city in the Delta. Overnight at  Victoria Can Tho Resort , a graceful, colonial-inspired hotel set on the banks of the Hau River, a tributary of the mighty Mekong.

You have the late afternoon and evening free to book yourself a spa treatment at the resort, lounge about the two swimming pools, walk the riverside gardens or take a complimentary shuttle boat to explore the nearby city centre.

VICTORIA CAN THO RESORT

Day 12: Can Tho - Morning Cruise - Chau Doc

Begin the day with a scenic early morning breakfast cruise to the famed Cai Rang Floating Market. Arriving at the market’s peak, you will see dozens of colourful boats laden with fresh produce from all over the Delta. Note the long poles with produce hung on top advertising the products on offer.

After some time to view the market from several different vantage points, you will slowly cruise back to the resort taking in scenes of stilt homes, women doing laundry in the river and children playing on its banks. Go ashore for a closer view of rural life, including stops at a small noodle workshop and a tropical fruit orchard.

After lunch, drive 3 hrs to Victoria Chau Doc Hotel , just minutes from the Cambodian border. Set next to Chau Doc’s river walk, a pedestrian-only area where families come out to watch the river and where children play pick-up football games, the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel features 92 wood-floored rooms, most offering spectacular views of the Hau River.

Each room combines the elegance of traditional Vietnamese handicrafts and colonial Old World charm, accented with bright, locally-produced textiles. Enjoy the late afternoon and evening at your leisure, perhaps walking to the busy Chau Doc Market to see the many products from the Delta on display.

Day 13: Chau Doc - Tra Su Forest

After breakfast at the hotel featuring several specialties of the Mekong Delta including “bun ca”, a rice noodle soup made with local fish, the morning is yours to relax or to explore Chau Doc. 

This fascinating multi-cultural border town is home to colourful temples and mosques reflecting the area’s Vietnamese, Chinese, Cham and Khmer communities. At noon, make the short drive to Victoria Nui Sam Lodge for a private lunch in the gazebo overlooking the plains below with spectacular, uninterrupted views stretching into neighbouring Cambodia.

Nui Sam (Sam Mountain) is a famous pilgrimage site known for its many hilltop pagodas and temples. In the afternoon, visit an ethnic Khmer village to learn about the role of Buddhism in the community with the opportunity to speak with monks at the local monastery.

Continue 20 km to the enchanted Tra Su Forest, an 850 ha eco-reserve which is home to more than 100 species of water birds. Traveling by sampan along the picturesque waterways is truly an unforgettable experience as you cruise by submerged forests on a living carpet of water plants.

North, central or south where to travel in vietnam.

• Author victoria
• 25 October 2021

As a travel destination, Vietnam is booming, welcoming a record-breaking 13 million international visitors in 2017. Best known for its lushly forested mountains, vibrant cities, amazing street food scene and sweeping beaches (with more than 3,400 km of coastline, most of it undeveloped), the question isn’t whether to put Vietnam on your travel “bucket list” but how to best arrange your trip.

Shaped like an “S”, Vietnam is geographically divided into three regions: North, Central, and South. Luckily, all three regions speak the same language (although with regional accents, much like the US with accents ranging from laid-back California to Southern drawl to the distinctive dialect of New York City), and there’s certainly enough to do in each region to spend a week or more.

To help you decide on what to see and do, here are some of our recommended Vietnam itineraries showcasing the best places to see in Vietnam.

Northern Vietnam

Northern Vietnam is all about spectacular views. In the far north of the country bordering China, you’ll find colorful hill tribe villages set amongst terraced rice fields cascading down the mountainsides. The capital of Hanoi is backed by 1,000 years of history as seen through its Old Quarter where streets are still named after the crafts and guilds that served the imperial court. Or head out of the city and go east to Halong Bay, a UNESCO-listed Heritage Site highlighted by thousands of karst islands rising from emerald waters.

To cover Northern Vietnam in 5 days, we suggest heading first to the former French hill station of Sapa. Located in the Lien Hoang Son mountain range, Sapa was popular among French colonists in the early 20th century for its cool temperatures and fresh, clean, mountain air.

Located 380 km northwest of Hanoi, you can either get to Sapa by road or train. If possible, the overnight train is a great option, as you can get a full night’s sleep before pulling into Lao Cai (the gateway to Sapa, just on the border with China) at dawn.

Enjoy a hearty breakfast and make your way up the mountain to Sapa. While the town itself is picturesque, the magic of Sapa is really best experienced by trekking the surrounding hillsides and interacting with the various ethnic minority groups.

The next day, rest up from all the trekking with a spa treatment (the hot footbaths and soaks in traditional herbal medicine are especially popular) and explore the town with its quaint boutiques and charming little eateries. The hill tribe women and children are especially friendly and speak great English, so perhaps buy a trinket or two and find out about life in Sapa.

From the mountains, it’s time to head to the coast, to magical Halong Bay. Meaning “Descending Dragon” in Vietnamese, the more than 1,900 islands look like the undulating body of a dragon, especially from the air. To see this stunning spectacle, book a scenic seaplane flight for a totally different perspective of this UNESCO World Heritage Site (and experience thrilling water takeoffs and landings).

Then, experience the islands from eye level with an overnight cruise, with shore excursions visiting spectacular caves, a fascinating pearl farm, and one of the sandy islands for great viewpoints or a dip in the calm waters.

Arrive back in Hanoi in the late afternoon, just in time for a stroll through the Old Quarter, with narrow streets named after 36 guilds from ancient times. See the impressive 19th century St. Joseph’s Cathedral all lit up, and join the locals in a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake. Soak up the vibrant atmosphere with tons of food sellers and street performers to provide the entertainment.

To extend your time in Northern Vietnam, head west to the Mai Chau Valley, home to the White Thai people, and walk or cycle along gorgeous fields of rice, and past stilt houses. Mai Chau has also developed a reputation for adventure sports, including kayaking, rock climbing, and mountain biking.

Ninh Binh, south of Hanoi, is also a nature lover’s dream where boat trips are easily arranged cruising past the karst landscapes of Tam Coc, also known as “Halong Bay on Land”, and the UNESCO World Heritage Trang An Grottoes.

Central Vietnam

Central Vietnam includes the hot spots of Hue, Danang, Hoi An and My Son, a beautiful mix of culture, history, and fantastic beaches. History buffs will enjoy exploring the Imperial Citadel of Hue with its royal tombs and graceful temples, including the famed Perfume Pagoda, as well as the military sites of the Demilitarized Zone. Outside of Hoi An, the ancient ruins of My Son make for a great day trip.

Beach lovers will gravitate towards Danang with its long stretch of beach and good seafood eats, as well as Hoi An, with quiet, palm tree-lined beaches just a 15-minute drive from the center of the ancient port town.

Hoi An is also known for its great shopping. With literally hundreds of tailor shops able to re-create your favorite garment in a day or two, set aside some time to get custom-tailored clothing. While your garments (or leather bags and shoes) are getting made, you can laze on the beach, take a boat cruise down the Thu Bon River to visit the single-craft villages making exquisite pottery or woodwork, or explore the surrounding countryside.

There’s even an option to tour in a vintage sidecar, leaving the driving up to a guide while you snap away pictures of lush, green rice fields, ponds stocked with fish, or water buffalo lazily grazing by the roadside.

Other popular South Vietnam beaches along the Central and South-Central coast include Nha Trang (featuring a great city beach and cheap island snorkeling tours), and Phan Thiet, a sleepy fishing village just four hours by car from Ho Chi Minh City. Or for a more cultured break, spend a few days in the hills of Dalat, once a wellness resort town favored by French colonists. The pine forests, cool temperatures, and fields of flowers will have you wondering whether you’ve been magically transported to Europe.

Southern Vietnam

Southern Vietnam is highlighted by the country’s biggest city, Ho Chi Minh City (also known as “Saigon”). Vibrant, chaotic, and electrifying, Ho Chi Minh City is the modern face of Vietnam with glitzy malls, skyscrapers (including the recently constructed Landmark 81, the 14th tallest building in the world), and a world-renowned dining scene ranging from haute cuisine restaurants opened by Michelin-starred chefs to humble streetside carts serving up delicious one-plate meals for less than a dollar.

However, there are still charming throwbacks to its past when it was known as the “Pearl of the Far East”, seen through its tree-lined boulevards, pale yellow colonial-era buildings and graceful architecture fusing European and Asian design elements.

After getting your fill of Saigon’s ancient temples, excellent restaurant scene, and fascinating museums, head deeper south into the Mekong Delta. Known as Vietnam’s “Rice Bowl” for its endless swaths of rice paddies fed by countless waterways, the Mekong Delta is likely what visitors picture when they think of Vietnam. Just off the main roads, you can still find village markets, thatched-roofed huts, and ethnic Khmer, Chinese and Cham temples and pagodas.

One of the best ways to explore the Mekong Delta is by boat, cruising its narrow waterways and watching life unfold along its banks. The largest city in the Mekong Delta is Can Tho, set right on the Hau River, a tributary of the Mekong River. Can Tho is also home to the Cai Rang Floating Market, the largest in the Mekong Delta, where smaller boats navigate among the barges laden down with fresh produce from the region.

Another highlight of the Mekong Delta is the town of Chau Doc. Set on the border with Cambodia, Chau Doc is a delightful mix of various cultures: Khmer (ethnic Cambodian), Chinese, Vietnamese, and Cham.

Nature lovers will want to make a day trip out to visit the Tra Su Forest, an eco-reserve known for its cajuput trees and large bird population. One of the highlights of Tra Su is being rowed through the mangroves over thick carpets of water plants as birds and bats fly overhead.

The southern end of the Mekong Delta is also the gateway to beautiful Phu Quoc Island. Roughly the size of Singapore, Phu Quoc is an up-and-coming gem, known for its powdery soft beaches, azure waters, and laid-back atmosphere. Ferries are available from Rach Gia or Ha Tien on the Vietnamese mainland.

Northern Vietnam Off the Beaten Track: 15 Alternative & Underrated Destinations for Your Travel Itinerary

Searching for the ‘authentic’ Vietnam? Curious to escape the path well-Instagrammed and see a different side of the country? Or perhaps you want to spread your tourism dollars by supporting emerging destinations and small communities. Whatever your motivation, there’s a way to see Vietnam off the beaten track.

While Ha Long Bay, Sapa and Ninh Binh are musts for any first-time visitor to Vietnam’s travel itinerary, sometimes it pays to shrug off the crowds and look beyond the major hubs.

From underrated cities to lesser-known mountain regions and rising ecotourism stars – from the best outdoor activities to living history lessons and hands-on cultural encounters – here are 15 of my favourite underrated destinations in Northern Vietnam .

15 destinations where you can experience Northern Vietnam off the beaten track

All but isolated from the rest of the country until the 1970s, you often hear Ha Giang described as Vietnam’s ‘final frontier’. The northern part of the province forms a natural land border with China and is characterised by soaring mountains, steep ravines, and the incredible Dong Van Karst Plateau.

Ha Giang is typically navigated by tracing the Dong Van Loop, a circuitous route that leads motorbike riders through some of Vietnam’s most majestic landscapes. It’s well worth stopping off in villages to indulge in some of the best trekking Vietnam (or anywhere else in Southeast Asia, for that matter) has to offer.

Overall, Ha Giang is yet to be touched by the heavy hand of tourism – but things are changing fast, and Dong Van is poised to become the next Sapa. Now might be your last opportunity to experience Ha Giang’s ethnic minority markets (an alternative to Bac Ha ) and family-run homestays . If you do decide to visit, make sure you choose a responsible tourism provider.

Read more: Touring Ha Giang with YESD, a responsible tourism enterprise .

How to get there: Limousine bus from Hanoi (6.5-7 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Get Your Guide . Where to stay: Cọ Home (Ha Giang) → Check prices here on Booking.com . Tour option: Private tour with YESD Vietnam (various itineraries from 2-7 days), including transfers from Hanoi, full accommodation/board and an English-speaking guide → See the website for details .

Located in remote Bat Xat District , I predict that Y Ty will emerge as another alternative to busy Sapa at some point in the future. The area boasts picturesque landscapes, idyllic hamlets, and because of the high altitude, opportunities to ‘chase the clouds’ – a popular pastime in Vietnam which involves snapping photos on misty mornings.

While Y Ty remains underdeveloped and tricky to access outside of group tours for now, a handful of NGOs, including CIRUM, are partnering with ethnic minority groups in the area to introduce sustainable tourism.

These projects run parallel to a legal program that’s working to secure land rights for members of ethnic minority communities, a pressing issue in this part of Northern Vietnam and a mission that’s certainly worth supporting.

How to get there: Sleeper bus or VIP minivan from Hanoi to Lao Cai (5.5-6 hours travel time) + transfer → Buy your bus tickets online here through Bookaway . OR Chapa Express sleeper train from Hanoi + transfer → Buy your train tickets online here through GetYourGuide . Where to stay: Homestay xá Hà nhì → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Mu Cang Chai

If you’ve seen those jaw-dropping photos of rice terraces in Vietnam, there’s a good chance they were snapped in or around Mu Cang Chai. You’d be hard pressed to find fields on this scale anywhere else in the country.

Rendered in shades of bottle green or wattle yellow depending on the time of year, the towering terraces are a weather beacon for the changing seasons and different stages of the rice harvest. What happens out here dictates the fortunes of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese farmers.

Because of its remote location, Mu Cang Chai District receives relatively few tourists. But if it’s sublime hiking in complete solitude that you’re after, it’s worth the trek.

How to get there: Sleeper bus or minivan from Hanoi (7.5 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Hello Mu Cang Chai Homestay → Check prices here on Booking.com . Tour option: Private two-day tour with trekking and photo stops, including transfers from Hanoi and homestay accommodation → Book here through GetYourGuide .

Detian Waterfalls (Ban Gioc)

Indisputably the most majestic waterfall in Vietnam, the Detian cascades (AKA Ban Gioc falls) are located on the Vietnam-China border in north-east Cao Bang Province.

The waterfalls appear vastly different depending on what time of year you go: In the dry season, there are two distinct waterfalls but in the wet season, the deluge gives the appearance of one giant cascade. The 30-metre sheer drop makes this the fourth largest waterfall along a national border after Victoria Falls, Niagara and Iguazu.

Nearby Cao Bang city is a great base to explore the Detian falls and other smaller waterfalls and lakes in the area.

How to get there: Sleeper bus or VIP minivan from Hanoi to Cao Bang (5.5-7 hours travel time) + transfer → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Yến Nhi Bản Giốc Homestay → Check prices here on Booking.com. Tour option: Three-day tour to Ba Be Lake & Ban Gioc Waterfall, including private transfers from Hanoi, a boat trip on the Nang River and full accommodation/board → Book here through GetYourGuide .

A few years ago, three communities in Da Bac District, Hoa Binh Province formed an alliance to bring tourists to their villages. Their project, Da Bac Community-Based Tourism , is a perfect example of how alternative tourism can thrive.

Visitors to Da Bac can enjoy homestays, delicious home-cooked meals, trekking, water sports (two of the villages have access to the Da Bac River and lake), and cultural activities. Or you could copy me and steep yourself in a wooden tub filled with steaming water and herbs. The bathing ritual is an ancient Red Dao herbal remedy said to improve circulation and general health.

Da Bac is visited by some group tours, but it’s still very much considered to be off the beaten track. Families here need support from tourists like you in order to keep their project afloat. If you’re interested in giving back to ethnic communities while you’re in Vietnam, Da Bac is the perfect place to do it.

Thai Nguyen

Most people associate Vietnam with coffee . But before French colonisation, it was a tea-drinking nation. Thai Nguyen Province, just north of Hanoi, is the hub of the country’s tea industry and grows much of the green tea that Vietnam exports. You can find packets of loose leaf bearing the province’s name all over Hanoi and Northern Vietnam.

There are dozens of privately owned tea plantations located close to Thai Nguyen city, itself a modest urban area. Owners welcome guests to sit down for a tea tasting before walking them through the fields to watch the pickers at work.

Thai Nguyen is also home to the Museum of the Cultures of Vietnam’s Ethnic Groups and the intriguing  Thai Hai Tay Ethnic Village. I highly recommend both.

How to get there: Taxi or minivan from Hanoi (1.5-2 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Nam My Van Homestay → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Poor old Moc Chau District is almost completely overshadowed by neighbouring Mai Chau. Located less than 100km up the road in Son La Province (but admittedly a little harder to reach by public transport), Moc Chau is a great alternative to the tourist-heavy Mai Chau Valley.

The best time to visit Moc Chau is in the spring, when the landscape is engulfed in blooming cherry blossoms. Other varietals paint the hills different shades at other times of year.

Like Thai Nguyen, Moc Chau has something special in stall for tea lovers : Verdant tea hills run to the horizon. Visit during the harvest season to watch workers busy in the bushes.

How to get there: Bus or VIP minivan from Hanoi (5-6 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Hillside House → Check prices here on Booking.com . Tour option: Three-day Moc Chau and Mai Chau tour from Hanoi, including private transfers, meals and bungalow accommodation → Book here through GetYourGuide .

Pu Luong Nature Reserve

Pu Luong is probably the most pristine patch of land I saw during my time in Vietnam. Protected since 1999, the 17-odd hectare reserve is valued for its flora and fauna.

A number of ethnic Thai and Muong communities dwell inside the park’s boundaries, following a largely traditional lifestyle. Among their pursuits is building the incredible bamboo water wheels that Pu Luong is known for. These magnificent structures harvest water from low-lying streams, filtering it into the rice fields via a series of bamboo pipes. It really has to be seen to be appreciated.

Ancient technology set against virgin forest, verdant fields and thatched-roof hamlets: Pu Luong is exactly the sort of landscape Vietnam dreams are made of.

Access to Pu Luong is fairly limited, which of course is a bit part of its appeal. When we visited in 2018, we only saw a few other tourists. It’s possible to trek through the park on a multi-day hike. There are also homestays where you can base your stay and embark on shorter walks.

Read more: Waterwheels and rice fields in Pu Luong .

How to get there: VIP minivan from Hanoi (3.5-4 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Pu Luong Ecolodge → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Now there’s a sight I bet you weren’t expecting in Northern Vietnam. Nam Dinh Province, which stretches all the way to the Gulf of Tonkin through the fertile Red River Delta, is famous for its high concentration of Roman Catholic churches. This was the first place missionaries to Vietnam landed in the 1500s, thus Nam Dinh is known as the country’s cradle of Catholicism.

Many of Nam Dinh’s churches are still used by the Catholic community today. Others have been abandoned and left to nature. The architecture in this part of the country is a revelation and something not many tourists get a chance to see.

The most impressive cathedral of the bunch (by my measure) lies in Hai Ly commune. The 1943-built St. Maria Madalena was originally constructed inland, but because of coastal erosion, is now perched precariously on the shoreline.

How to get there: Train, bus or minivan from Hanoi → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: SOJO Hotel → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Diem Dien Salt Flats, Thai Binh

You’ve probably heard about Cambodia’s salt pans in Kampot and the Hon Khoi salt fields in Nha Trang, but did you know salt is harvested in Northern Vietnam, too?

It may be one of the country’s poorest provinces, but Thai Binh is a real gem. Located close to Hanoi on the train line to Ninh Binh , the traditional industry along the coastline in villages such as Diem Dien is sea salt.

Every day, hundreds of workers descend on the burnished fields to harvest basket loads of crystals. A visit to Diem Dien and the other salt villages in Thai Binh provides some unique photo opportunities. It’s also a window onto one of Vietnam’s most gruelling industries and the lives of those who toil on the salt fields to supply our pantry staples.

How to get there: Bus or car from Hanoi to Thai Binh (2-3 hours travel time) + transfer → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Khách sạn Hoàng Gia → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Hai Phong City

Despite being the second-largest city in Northern Vietnam, most tourists skip Hai Phong, using it as a stepping stone to Cat Ba Island instead. Cat Ba wasn’t exactly my cup of tea (hence it’s absence from this list). Hai Phong , on the other hand, utterly charmed me.

I learned from my work colleagues that Hai Phong has a reputation among Vietnamese for being a bit rough – probably because it’s a port city. I didn’t get that vibe at all. My impression of Hai Phong is that it has all the charm of Hanoi’s Old Quarter but with less traffic and no tourists.

Highlights include mango-coloured colonial buildings (the French also settled Hai Phong and left their mark here, too), and a bustling marketplace. Hai Phong hosts an annual spring flower festival, which would be wonderful to see.

The road that connects Hai Phong to Hanoi is the best highway in Northern Vietnam, making it a quick and convenient getaway from the capital.

Read more: My quick guide to Hai Phong city .

How to get there: Train, minivan or car from Hanoi (from 2.5 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: HK Apartment & Hotel → Check prices here on Booking.com .

An alternative to busy Halong Bay and budding Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is a more obscure base for exploring the waters off Northern Vietnam’s coast. The landscape of karst rock formations is almost identical, yet junk boats are far and few between, which means the area is much quieter and less polluted.

Another advantage Lan Ha has over Halong is the multitude of white-sand beaches that crest several of the larger rocky islands. Kayaking, snorkelling and swimming are all available, either as part of a day excursion or a longer overnight stint.

It’s less common to spend a night on the water here: Instead, many people choose to bunk down at a rural homestay or island bungalow.

How to get there: Bus + ferry from Hanoi or Hai Phong to Cat Ba island (2-4 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Lan Homestay (Cat Ba) → Check prices here on Booking.com . Day trip option: One-day kayaking experience and cooking class on the bay, including transfers from Hanoi → Book here through GetYourGuide .

Tuyen Quang

The small city of Tuyen Quang is steeped in revolutionary history. Landmarks such as Hong Thai Temple and Tan Trao banyan tree are tied up with Vietnam’s struggle for independence.

Na Lua, the shack where Ho Chi Minh lived for a period in 1945 while plotting the French resistance, is preserved in Tuyen Quang, and is something of a pilgrimage site for Vietnamese nationalists.

There’s also a cluster of pretty temples and an impressive concrete monument, which has ‘Communist chic’ written all over it. Tuyen Quang might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I found it intriguing.

Mineral springs and caves can be visited on Tuyen Quang’s outskirts, along with nearby Thac Ba Lake.

How to get there: Local bus from Hanoi (3-4 hours travel time) → Buy your tickets online here through Bookaway . Where to stay: Muong Thanh Grand Tuyen Quang Hotel → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Thac Ba Lake

Located roughly halfway between Hanoi and Sapa, Thac Ba Lake is a man-made lake that was created in the 1970s by way of a hydroelectric dam.

When viewed on Google Maps, the lake looks like a mottled mess. Those jagged blots are actually hundreds of individual islands – 1,300 to be precise – covered in shaggy forest.

Homestays around the lake and in the nearby city of Yen Bai offer boat tours and other water activities for tourists. Vu Linh, a stilted village on the lake, is a nice place to base your stay.

How to get there: Local bus or transfer to Yen Bai + transfer (3-4 hours travel time). Where to stay: Xoi Farmstay (Yen Bai) → Check prices here on Booking.com .

Ba Vi National Park

Just a stone’s throw from Hanoi, it’s a wonder why more tourists don’t take the time to visit Ba Vi, one of Vietnam’s loveliest national parks . Popular with Vietnamese families, especially on weekends and holidays, Ba Vi is something of a local icon. A statue of Ho Chi Minh and a temple dedicated to Uncle Ho sit atop the park’s highest peak.

There are swirling rumours that the independence leader is actually buried somewhere in Ba Vi and that it’s a wax model lying in the Mausoleum in Hanoi. Either way, Ba Vi is a spiritual and auspicious place.

I recommend you take your own transport so you’re free to explore Ba Vi’s winding paths and abandoned buildings at your own pace. There are also a number of hiking trails within the park. If you’re looking for a place to stay the night nearby, I highly recommend Uncle Ty’s Farmstay .

How to get there: Motorbike, taxi or local bus from Hanoi (1-2 hours travel time). Where to stay: Uncle Ty’s Farmstay (Ky Son) → Check prices here on Booking.com . Day trip option: Full day trekking tour from Hanoi with transfers → Book here through GetYourGuide .

Bonus: Getting off the beaten track in Hanoi

Even if you’re trying to avoid Northern Vietnam’s hotspots, a few days in Hanoi is an absolute must for every first-time visitor . I called this hectic city home for a full 12 months and still only managed to scratch the surface. Hanoi is absolutely huge .

There are plenty of residential areas and historic suburbs where you can escape the chaos of the Old Quarter. Equally, there are a limitless number of ‘secret’ spots hidden right in plain sight – such as Long Bien Bridge and ‘banana island’ – which evade most tourists’ radars.

Wake up when the city rises to see Hanoi from a totally different perspective. Take a day trip to Duong Lam Ancient Village on a weekday to experience a slice of village life.

Spend the night in a beautiful Airbnb to experience Hanoi’s heritage architecture and winding alleyways hands-on. There are plenty of opportunities to get off the beaten track in Northern Vietnam’s biggest metropolis.

Thank you for this very beneficial blog! Keep up the good work.

GREAT photos Emily,

I remember my 3 week moto trip of the northern loop, one of the best travel experiences ive ever had. My ass has never really been the same again! I think we did 200k per day on average.

I found this site as Im reviewing a contract to work in Haiphong, you give it 4 or 5 stars. Ive also heard various slightly offputting comments. I too seemed to bypass it too on the ha long/cat ba 5 day excursion.

I have 2 big questions: what camera and lenses do you use?? your shots are amazing when were you there? Ive been living in Vietnam 8 years, things develop and change so fast.

Im going to read this all properly later, enjoying it … those photos!! Ive only been in the north during Summer , Ha noi is possibly the most hot, humid, still place Ive been in Summer, but thats the big school break. The photo of the bridge in Ha Noi I decided to cross at the tail end of a 10 km city walk, at noon, I was drenched, possibly limping… getting crazy looks from locals. Now I completely avoid the sun here after so many years .

thanks for this great project Mike

Hi Mike, thanks so much for the comment! I was living in Hanoi 2017/18 (had to check my calendar, feels so long ago now!). Well overdue for a return visit. I use a 25mm prime lens for most of my photos. Glad you like them!

I enjoyed Haiphong very much, I’m not sure what it would be like to live there but as a tourist, it was wonderful. Especially as a contract to Hanoi.

Hi Emily, I am really surprised when looking at the list of destinations in your article. As a Vietnamese born in northern Vietnam, these destination names are really familiar to me. But as I am working for a travel agency in Hanoi and contact with many international tourists and almost everyone is very unfamiliar with these places in the north. Glad and grateful for your time in exploring these interesting, authentic lands.

Hi Emily, I read some of your blogs on exploring different parts of Vietnam in length. Each of the blog is awesome. I am travelling to Vietnam, starting from HCMC and flying out of hanoi. I have total of 10 days. Based on your trips, I need lot more days to explore but cant afford that. I want to have mix of city and nearby spots to explore. This is what I have thought: 1. 1 day in HCMC 2. Mekong Delta or Ca Pho – can we do day trip to Ca Pho. I have to come back to HCMC, since I have flight to Da nang. 3. Da Nang to Hoi an & hue. I noticed Da Nang is in middle between Hoi an & Hue. – 2.5 days what is recommended to be based at Hue or Hoi An ? and then do day trip to either of the city 3. Take overnight train to Sapa and spend 1 day there and next day train to Hanoi. Not sure if its feasible or go straight way to Hanoi. 4. spend 2 days in Hanoi and Halong Bay 1.5 days. What do you recommend exploring from Hanoi close by? I dont want to end up on road all the time and chasing activity list. i am travelling with a friend, who is less of an adventure on hiking side but definitely more interested in food exploration being a chef. appreciate your thoughts.

thanks Aarti

My initial impression is that your itinerary is a bit rushed. I’d love to offer you detailed feedback – I have an itinerary planning service if you’re interested. Sorry I don’t have more time to answer your questions in detail! Let me know if you’re interested and we can chat more over email.

Hi Your list of places sounds like what we are looking for. We have one month in Vietnam this December/January . What I am unsure of is if all these places are easily accessible by train or if we need to organise a vehicle. My husband has a friend who hired a driver and toured a similar route. We will be travelling with our 5 year old and 8 year old so need the travel to be fairly simple and safe? What do you recommend. It to travelled in Vitenam 2002 and am after an experience for our family that is not too touristy.

Some are accessible by bus, but you’ll need a driver for others. If you’re travelling with kids, I think a car and driver would be the best way to go!

Ok thanks that’s what we thought. Any ideas which companies offer this service.

Hi Emily, thanks for all the interesting and practical information on your blog. We are traveling to Hanoi for the second time in November. We are considering doing a loop including Duong Lam, Ba Vi, Mai Chau, Pu long and Nhim bin. We wanted an idea of how many days we should allow and which direction to travel first. Much appreciated.

Hi Roschelle, sorry for the delayed reply. I think 1-2 days for each is plenty (maybe 3 days each for Ninh Binh and Mai Chau). Duong Lam can be seen in a day. I would definitely head to Ninh Binh first, then to Pu Luong, and onto Mai Chau (this is the way we travelled too).

Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

Hello Emily, I’m so glad I found your blog! We’re heading to Northern Vietnam for 3 1/2 weeks in two weeks with our 10 and 13 years old daughters. We fell in love with Vietnam in 2002 and we’re not sure what we’re going to think of the country after all these years, so we are searching for off thé beating tracks idea… but not too much still because of the kids. We have a Airbnb near the cathédral in Hanoi, but I really want to know where are the great less touristy neighborhood. We will also go to Ta Van, we have 3 days in Bai Tu Long Bay, hopefully a night or two in Haiphong, then a ricefield homestay near Ninh Bin, then Pu Luong. How does it sound to you? Anything we should change since we still have a few days to cancel any reservation? Should we cut off time in Tavan to stop to Mu Cang Chai ? Is Moc Chau worth the drive with children? Thanks a lot!

Hi Isabelle! Awesome. I bet you’ll find things have changed a lot!

My favourite Hanoi neighbourhoods are Ngoc Ha (where I lived) and Truc Bach. I have guides to both on my site – just look under the Vietnam category.

Mu Cang Chai is spectacular but a long drive. I like the sound of your plan!

Thanks Emily, we’ve changed our last Airbnb to be in Truc Bach!

Great choice! Make sure you eat ‘pho cuon’ at one of the Truc Bach cafes and try State Run Foodshop. Two of my favourites!

Good to read this. We want to stay a month at one spot to ‘feel’ and explore authentic Vietnam. Which place should you suggest? Most places a read about are short stay visit spots.

Hi Ronald, cool! If I were you, I would choose a nice homestay with a family who would be happy to spend time with you. Hoa Binh province might be ideal, since you can easily get back to Hanoi if you need.

A month is a long time – I’m sure you’ll have a great experience!

I’ve been wanting to make it to Southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam, for years but the well-defined tourist trail has significantly deterred me. Thank you thank you for this amazing guide!!

You’re most welcome, Caitlin! Happy travels!

Hi, Thank you for your wonderful blog. I have been volunteering for 2 months in Northern Thailand – with Warm Heart, a non-profit that provides homes and education for HillTribe children. I have loved getting to know Chiang Mai and Phrao. I am going to Hanoi for only 5 days before flying back to San Francisco. On your recommendation, I am staying at Indigo Snail. Now I need to decide whether to go to Halong Bay or spend a day or two in Hanoi. Thanks again!

Wonderful to hear, Debbie! It’s an excellent homestay and Sue is a great host.

Hanoi is a fabulous city—more than enough to keep you entertained.

Enjoy Vietnam!

Hi Emily, I’m grateful for your useful travel blog. I will be visiting Vietnam for my first time in December for 3 weeks. I plan to only be in Northern & Central Vietnam. I’m trying to decide which rural sites for multi-day stays/tours. I’m hoping to do some trekking and exploring culture(textile, food) in these villages. Can you rank Ha Giang, Pu Luong, Ninh Binh region, Phong Nha, and Mu Cang Chai in order of your preference for my itinerary ? I know I can’t see them all and some maybe similar to each other on the list. Thank you for your kind consideration, Althea

Hi Althea, they are all very different and it would be difficult to ‘rank’ them – but Ha Giang is definitely something special. Pu Luong too. The others are quite touristy by comparison with the exception of Mu Cang Chai, which is more difficult to get to.

I loved my two weeks in Vietnam. When leaving, I knew I had to go back as there was so much more to see and understand about the country. This post is so wonderful. And the photos are stunning! All these places look and sound incredible and I hope to get to them all. Though, I did do a hike to Hang En Cave in Phong Nha and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and see more of that park. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent! I loved Phong Nha too! We were there for New Years and spent the first day of the year cycling through the National Park. It was just perfect. There’s SO MUCH to do in Vietnam! Even I feel like I still need to go back!

Omg, I wish I had this list when I went to Vietnam last year! We got to go to Da Bac which was incredible, we hiked with locals and celebrated Tet with them (their new year). I’m dying to go back so I can visit Son Doong Cave and do some camping.

That’s awesome, Andy! So happy to hear you got to Da Bac. Don’t worry—there’s way too much to see in Vietnam for just one visit. You’ll have to go back! Phong Nha is wonderful, too.

A great post with some different destinations . Loved the imagery too.

These places just look absolutely stunning. I have sadly just left Vietnam, but I will definitely pin this for my next visit!

Thank you so much for this very different post about Vietnam. I have been to Hoi An and really want to see more of the country. Great inspiration for my future travels!

Thanks Elisabeth! Hope you make it back soon!

Yes! The Ha Giang Motorbike Loop was definitely one of the highlights from my trip around South East Asia, if not the best part. Haven’t heard of most of the others, so thank you for sharing 💕

So glad to hear that, Sandy! I love Ha Giang too!

One of Vietnam’s strongest draws is the diversity of its natural beauty and landscapes. 

The capital of Hanoi is your gateway to the treasures of the north: spectacular mountains, valleys and bays studded with limestone karsts.

The southern metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City will entice you with its cool culture and captivating streets (just watch out for those motorcycles.) Nearby, the Mekong Delta runs to the sea, passing on-the-water villages and mangrove forests along the way. And all down Vietnam's S-shaped coast, you’ll find islands big and small, just waiting to be explored.
