It’s hard to visit Vietnam without stopping by Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known widely for its limestone karsts protruding above emerald waters. Just to the south is Lan Ha Bay, Ha Long’s less touristy yet equally scenic counterpart, with quiet beaches and hidden lagoons perfect for kayaking and swimming.
Cu Chi Tunnels
An extensive underground network stretching over 200 kilometers (approx. 120 miles), these tunnels served as living quarters, supply routes, and hiding spots for Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War. Today, visitors can explore sections of the tunnel, learn about wartime life, and see the ingenious traps used during the conflict. For a small fee, you can also use the firing range, shooting live rounds from guns used in the war.
