Pete Vrouras is a famous blogger living in California, USA. He regularly posts his experiences about travel, technology and cuisine online, including many pictures of Vietnam. In this article, Pete suggests attractive tourist destinations and experiences in the S-shaped country.

Ha Giang

Ha Giang - attractive destination.

Riding a motorbike around Ha Giang was one of Pete’s favorite things to do in Vietnam. Ha Giang is located in the north of Vietnam. The roads here wind around limestone mountains, through valleys with terraced rice fields and into towns. The journey can take 3-5 days depending on the route you choose.

Dong Ba Market in Hue

The stalls in the market sell many delicious foods.

For Pete, Hue is famous for its delicious food. This is the ancient capital with palaces and tombs of the Nguyen Dynasty. Besides, what captivates tourists are local dishes such as Bun Bo Hue, Nem Lui, Banh Cuon with very affordable prices.

Dong Ba Market is located in the east of the city, along the Perfume River. At this market, you can enjoy countless Hue specialties for about 40,000 VND. Quickly find a seat in the crowded market and order your favorite dishes from the food stalls.

Stone steps in Hang Mua - Ninh Binh

Hang Mua Peak is an ideal place for sightseeing in Ninh Binh.

Ninh Binh is an industrial city that is little known to tourists. Most people skip it on their way to Hanoi. The natural scenery surrounding the city is spectacular.

Hang Mua is the most worthy stop when visiting Ninh Binh. Climbing 500 zigzag steps above Hang Mua, you will admire the beautiful surrounding scenery. At the top, there is a small temple where you will admire 360-degree views of the mountains, rivers, and rice fields in the area.

Ba Be National Park

Ba Be National Park is located in Bac Kan city, northern Vietnam.

Ba Be Lake is surrounded by dense forests and limestone mountains. You can choose from a variety of activities such as boat tours, cave and waterfall tours, kayaking, or exploring the area on foot.

Bo Lu and Bac Ngoi are two small villages located on the lake shore, providing homestay services for tourists. The houses here are not equipped with air conditioning. So, forget about some of the comforts of life and immerse yourself in the beautiful natural scenery here.

District 5 - Ho Chi Minh City

Eye-catching, delicious dishes are sold in District 5.

Finding delicious street food among the myriad of choices in Ho Chi Minh City is really difficult for foreign tourists. District 5 is a true culinary paradise for those who love to eat.

You should sign up for a discovery tour to get basic information about the area and not worry about food safety. If you are brave, you can take a motorbike taxi and design your own culinary tour. District 5 is very bustling at night and locals often come here to enjoy delicious food.

Dalat night market

Da Lat market becomes more crowded in the evening.

Dalat is one of Pete’s favorite cities when visiting Vietnam. The mild climate makes visitors feel comfortable. The city is also known for its charming natural scenery and exploring mountain climbing activities.

Dalat Night Market is located in the city center. When night falls, thousands of people flock here to eat, play, enjoy music and shop. Especially every weekend, annual festivals take place here.

Ban Co Peak in Da Nang

From the top of Ban Co, Da Nang city comes into view.

Most visitors will spend a day visiting the Marble Mountains before embarking on their vacation in Hoi An. Another experience in Da Nang that you can take part in is renting a motorbike and driving to Ban Co Peak on Son Tra Peninsula. You can visit the large Buddha statue on the peninsula, then continue your journey to Ban Co Peak to enjoy the panoramic view of the city and the beautiful surrounding nature.
