Hanoi is not only known as the capital of Vietnam but also very famous with many great places, food as well as the Hanoi people. Hanoi is the best place to experience traditional Vietnamese arts such as opera, theater, and water puppetry shows that feature traditional music and depict Vietnamese folklore and myths.

Hoi An 

Hoi An is a small town which is situated on the bank of Thu Bon river located in central Vietnam. There is no airport, and no train station either, that’s why the only way to get to Hoi An is by road. You can also take a flight to Da Nang city, then rent a motorbike or take a bus to go to Hoi An. Tradition is still very much alive in the Old Town, even though many of the old shops have been converted to modern businesses which aim to foreigners and tourists, Hoi An is considered as a living museum of architecture and urban lifestyle. Most traditional houses here are the combination of different architectures from different cultures such as Chinese, Japanese, French, and British and of course Vietnamese style.

Ho Chi Minh city is a pretty famous spot for tourist when they come to Vietnam, and there are a lot of things that we should not miss when we come here. Firstly, Sai Gon has many iconic places to visit such as Ben Thanh market, Nguyen Hue walking street, Grand Theater etc,…. Secondly, the cuisine here is very diverse and attractive. We can find almost all of the featuring dishes from all parts of Vietnam, and the flavors will not disappoint us. Thirdly, the landscapes outside of the busy center are also very beautiful. We can find large grass fields and clean rivers on the suburb with fresh air.
