The Independent reveals 6 stunning Vietnamese spots tourists often miss
These spots promise a peaceful escape from noisy crowds—serene yet far from dull.
The Independent, a British online newspaper, recently highlighted six lesser-known destinations across Vietnam, ideal for travelers seeking a quieter and more authentic experience from north to south.
The list highlights lesser-known destinations that offer rich experiences, bustling local markets, diverse cuisine, and untouched natural beauty such as terraced rice fields and pristine beaches.
According to The Independent, apart from the Ha Giang Loop where backpackers and motorheads often make a beeline for the hairpin roads, visitors should instead swap it for the pastoral perfection of the serene Mu Cang Chai.
The Central Highlands city of Da Lat, a favourite for Vietnamese honeymooners, is like the lovechild of Switzerland and southeast Asia. Beloved for its cool, temperate climate, rolling hills and ripe avocados.
The Independent recommended that adventurous travelers pack their hiking boots and head for Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh province, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home of what many consider to be the world’s largest cave, Son Doong.
The British online newspaper recommended an overnight cruise on Bai Tu Long Bay-a stunning, lesser-known gem located in the northern province of Quang Ninh.
Visitors will have the chance to float by towering karst mountains, kayak its emerald waters, and wave to sleepy floating fishing villages – just with far less congestion.
Located between Hoi An and Nha Trang, Quy Nhon is a quiet coastal escape. Famous for its super-fresh seafood and huge stretch of beach – which is typically empty – it makes for a peaceful beach break.
The outlet suggested that visitors take a trip to see some of the country’s best-preserved Cham ruins.
