* How to choose the good time travel to Vietnam?

Having stretched over 1,000 km along the eastern coast of the Indochine Peninsula, Vietnam has three distinct climate regions which makes the country a truly year-around destination. However, there are some insights that should be noticed for a trip that covers the whole country. While the northern part of Vietnam embraces monsoonal climate with four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter), the southern part is affected by tropical monsoon with two seasons (rainy and dry). Besides, the mountain area in Northeast and Central Highland receives less fluctuation in temperature which ranges from 15C-25C offering favorable condition for visitors year around.

In particular, November to April is believed to be the best time to visit the north of Vietnam thanks to pleasant weather with little rain and cooler weather. The heat and high humidity which can reach 40C should be in your concern if you want to visit this part of the country in summer time (from May to September).  Perhaps the biggest reason for international guests heading to northern Vietnam is Halong Bay.

Periods September – November and March – May are ideal for a trip to this Unesco World Heritage Site so that you can participate in many activities as well as relax in the astoundingly beautiful beaches. The southern temperature does not fluctuate as much as in the north, offering average 33C and sunshine all year round.

The dry season (November- April) proposes little rain, blue sky and lots of sunshine which is perfect to deep into vibrant beaches. The wettest season from June to August is not recommended for visitor to come due to heavy tropical rains.

Hanoi in the North is a bit quieter compared to Ho Chi Minh city. It is the heart of nation’s cultural heritage and political concentration for more than one thousand years that looks like a living museum. Taking a glance at Hanoi Old Quarter, it is easy to find out that the city is a fine blend of East and West deriving from Chinese influence and decades of French colonialism, both still evident in the architecture, cuisine, language and people. On the other hand, Hanoi is considered the entry point for visitors drawn to the country’s mountainous areas (Sapa, Ha Giang, Dien Bien Phu), lush parks, traditional villages and the iconic Halong Bay.

With a tour of about 7 to 9 days, you will have opportunity to discover the Northern Vietnam or the whole Vietnam at a glimpse with its main tourist attractions such as Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Hoian, Saigon & the famous floating market in Mekong Delta.
