If you are at Hoi An, then you must enjoy here Light Lantern festivals. This is happening in Vietnamese New Year festivals. This celebration lasts 7 days in a year. From Hoi a Bridge to the Hoai River Square adorned with thousands of colorful lanterns.
Mostly 50 workshops take part in the event. Every workshop tries to create the prettiest lantern. The design of the lantern unique and colors are bright. The Festival mainly starts in the old town. Festival starts in between the Japanese Covered Bridge and the Cau An Hoi Bridge. During this time if you visit, you will find this place chaotic, crowded, and festive. Here, you will find people singing and dancing and all of them have a festive mode.
The most breath-taking sight is thousands of lanterns floating on the river; hire a sampan boat to get a closer look. For a small sum, you can buy a lantern and set it afloat too.

Must visit Halong Bay and its stunning
This place is really stunning and the best for photography. With 1,600 limestone towers rising from its turquoise waters, Halong Bay is rightly considered one of Vietnam’s most beautiful spots. As a result, it’s on every visitor’s list – and hundreds of boats offer cruise trips every day. It has a huge bay but it is almost crowded every time.
Just a few miles away, you will also find Bai Tu Long Bay. It also offers you an awesome view here, you will discover many uncrowded caves and beautiful small beaches and you will also able to get delicious food. Boat trips to Bai Tu Long Bay leave from the crowded dock at Halong City, just like the ones to Halong Bay. But you’ll head off in the opposite direction, to where the islands are a little less tall and a little more spread out – but, according to locals, are just like what those in Halong Bay used to be like.

Sail past the Tam Coc rice fields
The village of Tam Cốc-Bích Động (often referred to simply as ‘Tam Coc’) falls under this complex, and its famous rice paddies enjoy the same UNESCO-listed status. Undoubtedly, the best way to experience them to take a slow, languorous boat ride along the Ngo Dong River, admiring the otherworldly view as you go.
However you get there, you’ll want to spend at least a day here, if not longer, advises Wanderlust’s, Jackie Scully. “Head to Hang Múa while you’re in the Ninh Binh province and you’ll be rewarded for climbing the 486 stone steps with an amazing viewpoint. Go early to avoid the heat.”
In 2014, the Tràng An Scenic Landscape Complex in northern Vietnam’s Ninh Binh province was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. No wonder to anyone who has seen it with their own eyes: dramatic limestone karsts and sweeping, deep green valleys, often with boats floating along the Red River Delta.
Getting to Tam Coc is easier than ever. Admittedly, the area has become more popular with visitors in recent years – for good reason. Buses and trains from Hanoi to Ninh Binh take about three hours, while organized day tours and two-day trips are available if you’d prefer to take the pressure off planning your excursion.

Here, you’ll be taking in one of South-East Asia’s most breathtaking natural sights. Its sheer size (70m tall, and 208m wide) is marvel-worthy in itself, but the way the falls cascade down its rocky, limestone face is most eyecatching. If you’re up for a climb, it is possible to trek up to the ‘falls high points, as long as you’re equipped with the appropriate walking gear.
Ban Gioc is the name of not one, but two colliding waterfalls along the Quay Son River – an iconic way to mark the Vietnam-China border, in the Trung Khanh District, Cao Bang on Vietnam’s side, and Daxin County, Guangxi on China’s.

Cycle through Pu Luong on a rented bike, or pop to the markets to purchase exquisitely-bright, locally-woven textiles.

Search for best Vietnam pho in Hanoi
Hanoi has increased status as the pho capital of Vietnam. Every restaurant here boasts a secret recipe. Take your time searching for the best – that’s part of the fun! But if you poverty our advice? Head to Lo Duc in the French Quarter and sit yourself down at Pho Thin.
Pho is a Vietnamese staple – a quick, tasty meal made from four simple ingredients: boiled beef, clear stock, and herbs or green onions, rice noodles. In Vietnam, you’ll find it served on street corners and in upscale restaurants, as well as in every family home.
This unassuming pho house, with wooden benches and laminated tables, does things a little otherwise – such as stir-frying the beef in garlic before adding it to the soup. Local foodies insist it offers the pho an unusual smokiness, one you won’t found in other restaurants. Pho Thin is always packed. You have to wait little for this. The more you will wait, you will understand the value. If you link to go in Hanoi you can also know some more Best Things To Do In Hanoi.
