Featured Destinations

Mui Ne

Mui Ne

Mui Ne's status as the rising star of Vietnamese tourism is because of its geography. The curved southern coast bay looks out over 7 mi/11 km of impossibly perfect tropical beach (which is, administratively, a part of larger Phan Thiet to the west), shaded by coconut palms and with a gentle arc around the azure waters of the South China Sea. The daily breezes that whip through the bay have shaped the coastline, creating a stunning landscape of white and red sand dunes, as well as a watersports industry.

Mui Ne has become the kite-surfing capital of Asia. Besides kite-surfing, the most popular tourist activity is sledding down the sand dunes on plastic sheeting. But if your idea of activity is lounging on the beach, with this much beach, it could take several days just to determine your favorite spot. The average water temperature hovers around 80 F/27 C, so getting in for a swim isn't difficult, either.

This arching bay of palm-fringed, white-sand beach was once accessible only via bumpy dirt track. Backpackers and adventurous watersports enthusiasts were the only visitors to disturb the local fishermen whose families have lived on this coast for generations.

But things have changed. Mui Ne's single paved street is now flanked by hotels, restaurants and bars. Small, low-rise beach resorts welcome guests year-round, as do the surf stores dotted around town. The Ocean Dunes Golf Club offers 18 holes, wireless Internet access in the clubhouse, and a hotel.


Visitors should be aware that Mui Ne hasn't quite refined its tourist relations approach. The townsfolk, most of whom wrestled a living from the sea until recently, often appear to view the increasing number of tourists as an especially profitable kind of fish. Remember to count your change, and don't sign your credit card bill until you've looked over the charges.

Destination Guide
Nha Trang

Nha Trang

The main attractions of the coastal town of Nha Trang’s are its white sandy beaches, deserted islands and backdrop of rolling, verdant mountains. It is quite possibly Vietnam’s closest answer to a developed tropical resort. The Nha Trang area offers the best year-round weather in Vietnam; its clear waters and four miles of clean, uncrowded beaches encourage swimming, scuba diving and snorkeling. For now you can enjoy a relaxed seaside resort town, with a lively market, wide streets and uncrowded beaches.

Qhi Nhon

Qhi Nhon

In Vietnam's Central Champa Kingdom lies the city of Qui Nhon. It reached its claim to fame in 1799 when a French missionary, M. Pigneau de Behaine, died here while closing in on the city under the rule of Tay Son. Earlier in 1792, and then again later in 1801, Tay Son's Navy vessels were destroyed near the harbor of Qui Nhon under the order of Nguyen Anh, the former leader of Vietnam. Today this city offer visitors a chance to see the Cham ruins, Quang Trung Museum and two important Hung Tanh Towers, believed to date from the 13th century.
Hue

Hue

Hue is at the heart of central Vietnam. The landscape – with its misty Perfume River and pagodas – has long been a source of poetry and paintings. Always an important cultural, intellectual and historical city, Hue remains one of Vietnam’s main attractions.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is often referred to as Vietnam’s jewel and the Pearl of the Orient. Located in south Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the country’s largest city, with more than six million people and over one million motorbikes. Under the current regime the city is once more being rebuilt. Whole blocks are disappearing, being replaced by concrete, steel and glass structures. Central Saigon, which is still the official name for the city center, shows evidence of the French colonial city, with wide, tree-lined boulevards, sidewalk cafés and elegant French architecture. The city is divided into two sections: Saigon, the municipal and historical district, and Cholon (Chinatown), where the entrepreneurial talent and private funds are concentrated. Cholon appears to be the most populated and in general the most vigorous part of Ho Chi Minh City. It is well worth a visit for its bustle and activity and its pagodas, which are reputed to be the finest in the whole city.
Destination Guide
Hoi An

Hoi An

Hoi An is an ancient port town that was designated an UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the rare places in Vietnam to discover genuine Vietnamese architecture. Walk through the Old Quarter and get a glimpse of a medieval Vietnam that no longer exists in the other areas of the country. Visit the Phuc Kien Pagoda, the 400-year-old Japanese Covered Bridge and the colorful bazaar
Destination Guide
Hanoi

Hanoi

Hanoi is a city with a history that dates back to the 7th century. In 1954 Hanoi was declared the capital of the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam, and in 1976, following the Vietnam War, it became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This political history has made Hanoi one of the country's most fascinating cities to explore. The most renowned of all the monuments is the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. It is dedicated to Vietnam's most well-respected President, who in 1945, led his country to independence. Other highlights include the Museum of History, containing ancient artifacts from Cambodia, Thailand, Japan and China, the 11th century One Pillar Pagoda and legendary Sword Lake.
