1. Bai Tu Long Bay
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 963 reviews
Bai Tu Long Bay is the name of an area located in the east of Halong Bay Vietnam. Although it shares many similar geological characters with Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay is considered as off the beaten tourist track with many deserted and pristine beaches, no less impressive karst mountains. The Bay has a rich biodiversity with two ecosystems: a tropical, moist, evergreen rainforest ecosystem; and a marine and coastal ecosystem. The area has scarcely seen any tourist development. A large number of guests, through online research, wish to visit the Bai Tu Long Bay because it is much less crowded than Halong Bay. The only disadvantage is that it does not have many grottos. The nearest place for a visit (Vung Vieng Fishing village) is at around 20 km from tourist port.

Fantastic bay, more private and peaceful we were on the Indochina Junk tour on private boat for family of 5 Nice to have less people around for kayak, views really only saw other boats near key attractions like caves, or kayaking/beach point etc. Truly a highlight of our 10 Vietnam trip Weather okay in December - few quick rainstorms, misting and some foggy gray periods that would develop into blue skies and great views, needed a light jacket and layers especially when the sun went down but not as cold as I thought might be

3. Lake of the Restored Sword (Hoan Kiem Lake)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13,508 reviews
A rare breed of turtle enjoys this popular lake almost as much as countless locals and tourists. Hoan Kiem Lake is a dynamic daily tableau, from morning walks amid locals doing exercises on the shore, to young couples water-gazing on park benches, to the multiple shopping and sight-seeing opportunities in the vicinity. Centrally located in the city, Hoan Kiem Lake serves as a massive home base, and provides endless people-watching and recreational opportunities on the edge of the Old Quarter.

If you only have a day or two to spend in Hanoi, I recommend you to walk around the Hoan Kiem lake. This way you will be able to see it all: the hustle and bustle of the Old Quarter with milions of crazy motorcycles, beautiful and well maintained parks and gardens, temples and monuments, local people and tourists, old and new buildings... it is really hard to describe it, you need to live it. The walk around the lake takes about 30 minutes, but add at least 30 for photo stops. I can't wait to go back.

I loved and preferred the phong nha cave instead of the paradise cave (still we have been there at both) It was amazing inside, the water is so beautiful and you have a good mixture of going by boat and going by feet

Landscape is very beautiful around this area with limestone islands and islets. The Pelican cave is so nice where not touristy like the other caves. There are beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. It's worth to pay a visit to this cave.

Did a day tour from Hue with TNT Travel (booked through sinh tourist). Cost 499k dong, including a really decent packed lunch. This option for me was much more straightforward and better value than getting dropped off at the visitor centre and then getting car from there. It was a great day. Views from the summit Tower are excellent. We got to walk through a cave tunnel used by vietnamese soldiers (all the fruit bats in there added to the experience). There is an easy or challenging path down to the 5 lakes, we did the challenging path. It involves some climbing along rocks, using ropes to hold on to, ladders. Everyone in our group loved it. Moderate level of fitness required, it's not too tough you just need to be OK with a bit of clambering and climbing. Though if it's rainy I would say it's much more slippery/difficult. There were no real issues with leeches, it was a dry day until near the end. Spotted 3 small leeches on the ground and on one of our groups' shoe. More annoying were the wasps at the 3rd lake (very persistent) and ants on the trail from there (they bite).

Simply amazing. Don’t miss out. Weather in town will not determine weather at the top. It was cloudy the day I went and opened up to blue skies at the summit. Also went solo. Very easy to do. Take taxi or walk to sun plaza Buy train + cable car tickets Take train Take cable car Climb the stairs or take more trains I suggest climbing as you can see all the different views and see and enter temples along the way. There’s a cafe with stunning views at the top to enjoy drinks, rest, use restroom, WiFi.
