One of the most wonderful experiences in Ha Long Bay is to travel on a boat to admire the nature with emerald green water, towering limestone cliffs covered by tropical primeval forests. Wanderlust commented that although Vietnam is not the only place with giant limestone mountains, there is no place in the world with a more impressive scale than Ha Long Bay. This place owns thousands of large and small islands in the middle of the vast ocean. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage for the first time in 1994, after nearly 30 years, this place has almost not changed, while the number of tourists coming to Ha Long Bay is increasing. The process of geological erosion in Ha Long Bay has created mysterious and impressive caves. Visitors can take a boat deep inside to admire the beauty of these caves, or visit floating villages, explore beautiful beaches. Hoi An |

Hoi An was recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage perhaps because of its nostalgic beauty and the peacefulness and slow pace of life of the local people. Different from the image of Hoi An today, this place used to be a prosperous port town, a meeting place and trading place for merchants from all over the world. Memories of the past with Hoi An's cultural diversity are expressed in French architectural buildings, Chinese assembly halls and the elegant Japanese bridge. The combination of Western architecture and Eastern cultures has created a harmonious and unique architectural complex of Hoi An. Along the street are shops with a variety of products, the most characteristic of which are the colorful lanterns. At night, the brilliant light of the lanterns seems to cover the entire street, lighting up the night sky. Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park |

Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park was recognized by UNESCO in 2003. In 2009, the delegation of the British Royal Caving Association officially announced the discovery of Son Doong Cave with its majestic scale. Since then, more and more giant caves have been found, hidden behind them are sparkling stalagmites and stalactites. In addition, visitors can choose more accessible caves such as Thien Duong Cave, Phong Nha Cave, and Toi Cave, all of which are ideal places to admire the mysterious beauty, giant rocks of various shapes, or simply enjoy the fresh, cool air here.
