If you seek for adventure, you should explore the Paradise Cave, Phong Nha Caves or Trang An Grottoes. Head to the small town of Trai Mat, just outside Da Lat, to enjoy the beauty of Linh Phuoc Pagoda, built from debris of glass. Cycle through Vietnam’s lush landscapes and be immersed in an up-close view of Vietnamese life.

See the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) – five marble and limestone formations topped with pagodas. Wander past street stalls and bustling markets of Hanoi and enjoy fresh Vietnamese cuisine straight from the wok.

Immerse yourself in the majestic beauty of the terraced rice field landscape that can be found at Muong Hoa Valley, near Sapa. You can also visit the rice terraces at Mu Cang Chai, YenBai (in the northwest).

Vietnam has plenty of secluded coves with white sands and turquoise waters fit for snorkelling. Discover the unique scuba diving along the country’s central and south coast. You can dive the reefs, kayak in the bays or just lounge on the beach and indulge in a massage. Don’t forget to visit a traditional fishing village and learn about the culture and customs of the locals.

If you need some entertainment, have fun at Suoi Tien, the world’s first Buddhist waterslide park. You can also visit the European style city built at the top of the Ba Na Hills.
