What Are Some Places In Vietnam That An Australian Citizen Can Visit?

Vietnam is incredibly diversified, both in terms of its natural beauty and its cultural richness.

Visitors may run into a richness of cultural legacy in Vietnam given its lengthy history and cosmopolitan population, which includes more than 50 ethnic minority groups. The landscape varies, with jagged mountains visible from swooping peaks and beautiful rice fields painted in every shade of green imaginable.

On a cruise to Halong Bay, Vietnam's most well-known natural tourist destination, even the most slothful person can experience nature up close. In the many national parks, where hiking, riding, and kayaking are common pastimes, outdoor enthusiasts can sink their teeth into the landscape.

Some of the major tourist destinations in Vietnam are listed below:

Mekong Delta

The enormous Mekong River finally reaches the sea in the deep south of Vietnam through a network of channels that crisscross the floodplain.

The delta is one of the most fascinating places for tourists to explore. It is incredibly green, full of mangroves and paddy field vistas, and full of local life. It also has chaotic floating marketplaces that may be explored by boat.

Can Tho is the most well-liked place to start out from because it's close to the floating markets of Phong Dien and Cai Rang, and boat trips from Ca Mau let you visit the Cau Mau Nature Reserve and U Minh Mangrove Forest.

Cat Ba Island

Cat Ba Island is a significant hub for activities and adventure tourism in Vietnam and is located on the western side of Halong Bay.

This is the ideal location to go if you want to arrange kayaking and cruises in Lan Ha Bay, which is located off the southern coast of Cat Ba. A less crowded alternative to Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay is a landscape of karst islets and outcrops.

Off the coast, Cat Ba's deep interior jungle makes up a large portion of Cat Ba National Park, where hikers can see a variety of birds as well as other species like macaques.

However, Cat Ba is all about the climbing options for many tourists.Climbing tours on the island make use of both the limestone cliffs and the outcrops of Lan Ha Bay, offering experiences for both total beginners and seasoned climbers.

Ha Giang

The emerald-green karst mountain vistas along the mountain passes in Ha Giang make it the ideal destination for picturesque road trips by automobile or motorcycle.

Particularly, the winding Quan Ba Pass between Ha Giang town and Tam Son offers expansive views of the karst plateau and its jutting limestone outcrops, while the zigzagging Mai Pi Leng Pass between Dong Van and Meo Vac provides breathtaking views of the lush mountain scenery and narrow valleys below.

Plan your trip to coincide with a market day when vendors from the nearby mountain villages swarm into the city. One of the best Sunday markets is in Dong Van.

Phu Quoc Island

Phu Quoc is a heavily forested island 45 kilometers off the southern coast of the nation in the Gulf of Thailand. During the winter dry season, it draws a lot of sunbathers to its expanses of white sand beach.

The island's underwater and on-the-water tourist attractions come alive during the dry season (November to May) when there are numerous dive sites in the nearby offshore waters as well as chances for snorkeling, kayaking, and boat tours.

The An Thoi Islands, located south of Phu Quoc, are the destination of many popular boat excursions since they offer the best snorkeling in the region.

From Phu Quoc to the island of Hon Thom in the An Thoi Islands, the Phu Quoc cable car offers aerial views for eight kilometers as it soars over the seascape and islands.

Regular ferries and planes connect the mainland towns of Rach Gia and Ha Tien with Phu Quac. Ha Tien is a well-liked first (or last) stop for overlanders entering Vietnam because it is so near to the southern border crossing with Cambodia.
