5. Hidden Charm

Newly opened to the world compared to Thailand or Malaysia, Vietnam still have hidden charm and beauty that await tourists to explore especially at off the beaten track places in the northern Vietnam where tourists will have their opportunities to meet several ethnic groups to learn about their life and culture, experience homestay or take part in their farming activities. Trekking, motorcycling are good options, but should be arranged by someone like Vivutravel in Hanoi.

6. Friendly local

Many say that Vietnamese are not friendly and scams are everywhere which are not true. I have been to Thailand recently and got taxi scam, market boat tour scam. In Vietnam, tourists are welcomed warmly, but not sometimes with smiles, but invitation to try some local dishes, rice wine, tea or free support.

7. Budget destination

Cost of living in Vietnam is cheap so is the cost of travelling. To eat to full, tourists have to spend around US$2 per meal and a glass of draught beer costs less than US$1. In major tourist destinations like Hanoi, Hoi An or Ho Chi Minh city, it is easy to find cheap accommodation from US$15 per night. Local transportation like buses, trains and domestic flights are convenient and cheap. Vietnam is where you can have 10-15 day tour with around US$1000 in wallet.

8. Rich culture

Vietnamese culture is influenced by both Chinese and Indian culture so Vietnam is like a small Asian. However, Vietnamese culture still has its own distinctive features  that can be seen in many festivals, religious rituals or in Vietnamese spiritual life. Tourists will definitely find the culture of Vietnam so interesting to know.
