Try kayaking among the cliffs, wander some of the trails at Cat Ba Island - the gateway to Lan Ha Bay, or relax on the tranquil Co To Island at Bai Tu Long Bay.

Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park
Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park is suitable for those who love unique experiences. Here, visitors can explore Son Doong, the world's largest cave by volume. For comparison, all neighborhoods in New York City, USA could fit within the cave's vast main passageway. To conquer this landscape, tourists need to be accompanied by professional tour guides, which are not cheap.

Central Beaches
Despite being in the same area, the central coasts of Vietnam bring different levels of emotions. Some people will love the vibrant, modern atmosphere in Da Nang and Nha Trang.

But Lonely Planet appreciates some of the more peaceful beaches. To the south of Nha Trang, Mui Ne is the center of kitesurfing that attracts many visitors. Meanwhile, Doc Let beach in the north has an 18 km stretch of sand, accompanied by interesting activities such as surfing and enjoying fresh seafood. For a more tranquil experience, head to Thuan An beach, which is located next to a barrier island with a lagoon, offering peace and quiet.

Hoi An
Hoi An gives visitors the opportunity to discover the luxurious life of Vietnam's elite in feudal times. It was once one of the most important ports in Asia, receiving many merchants from countries such as Japan, Spain and North America.

Hue
Hue becomes the most wonderful place for those who are interested in royal culture. This was the ancient capital of the Nguyen Dynasty in the 19th and 20th centuries. Although most of the historical monuments in Hue were destroyed by war, the majesty of the imperial court still exists in the Imperial Citadel of Hue.
