Where To Go In Vietnam

Westerners are interested in seeing Vietnam after the American war, and some have the connection with the country like they came there for the fight before, or they have an adopted child. Those reasons and many more make this country an attractive place to go for people. So, here are some suggestions of where to go in the country, which we would go from the North to the South.

In the very north of the country, you can go to Sapa, which is very suitable for someone who is interested in trekking, high-mountains climbing, or just for relaxation. They have all kinds of flowers here, especially many kinds of orchids. Sapa is also famous for its food. Free-ranged chickens here are the best in the country. Also, you can do no wrong with the plenty of fruit here from apple, mango, Asian pear, passion fruit. It seems they have everything here like fresh air, trekking, and good food. IF you are interested in traditional textiles, you can purchase tons of them here from scarves to skirts. They are all beautiful and handmade, which is quite impressive to me because I do not know from the bank of trees they could make those beautiful scarves and skirts.

We cannot miss Hanoi as well because it is the capital of Vietnam. Here you can wander around the French quarter and Old quarter. Most of expats gather here, and if you are in Vietnam, you would definitely spend several days in the old town. For local people, it seems unremarkable, but for foreigners it is very interesting. Imagine you are walking 36 streets, which are very narrow, crowed with many people, and the streets have existed for more than 100 years and nothing changes. It feels like something old, and traditional around here. If you can do shopping here too, however, it might be a little expensive because the price here is designed for expats, but not for Vietnamese local people. So, if you want to get a good deal, you should ask a local person, and they will tell you where to go.

Down to the central Vietnam, Hue is also a good place to go. Hoi an is like the old town in Hanoi, but it is much quieter, and peaceful. If you do not want to be in a crowded street, and just relax while want to feel like something old, you definitely want to go to Hoi An. Hoi An has many old houses which can be there for a couple of hundred years, and also nothings changes since then. Many people prefer Hoi an than the old town in Hanoi, because of its origins and its quietness.

If you are a businessman, or want to experience something more modern, you definitely want to go to Saigon. It is a new and a developing city, where you can find anything you want, go to a restaurant where you feel like you are in New York or Tokyo. One friend of mine say that In Saigon people live faster, get up earlier and stay later at night. It is all because of the new city with full energy and tons of people from all over the country rushing here to make money.
