The Travelers' Choice Best of the Best is an annual award presented by Tripadvisor to destinations whose hotels, restaurants, and activities have received a high volume of reviews and opinions from the community over a 12-month period. Less than 1% of Tripadvisor's 8 million listings are awarded a Best of the Best, representing the highest level of excellence in travel. Specifically, in the category of "World's Top Destinations", the capital Hanoi ranked 4th and the ancient town of Hoi An (Quang Nam) ranked 10th out of 25 destinations in the world. With its ancient beauty, the capital Hanoi is a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world, especially for those who are passionate about learning about the history, culture and people of Vietnam. According to Tripadvisor, the thousand-year-old capital still preserves the old quarter and colonial architecture, while still having room to develop modern works. Although it is no longer called Thang Long (rising dragon), the glorious past still exists such as the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoa Lo Prison... "Lake, park, shady boulevards and more than 600 temples and pagodas add to the appeal of this city. Visitors can easily explore the city by taxi," Tripadvisor suggested. In addition, Hanoi is also the name topping the list of "25 culinary destinations in the world" of this year's award. For Hoi An, this page describes: "Located on the central coast of Quang Nam province, Hoi An used to be an important trading port of Southeast Asia from the 15th to 19th centuries, and is still well preserved to this day. Not only that, this is also a popular stop for backpackers, especially becoming more famous with foreign tourists. On the 14th day of the lunar month, Hoi An is sparkling and romantic in the light of traditional colorful lanterns. In addition, the old town also has famous attractions such as the Japanese Covered Bridge and Quan Cong Temple". Meanwhile, Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh province and Sa Pa town in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai ranked 3rd and 5th respectively in the "Trending Destinations" category. “The colourful and charming northwestern market town of Sa Pa is the perfect oasis from strenuous mountain hikes or rugged rice terrace tours. The Gothic stone church in the town centre is a major draw for visitors, with its architecture influenced by the French missionaries who once lived in the town. Alternatively, dine on Vietnamese or European-inspired dishes in the town centre and don’t miss the weekly Saturday night ‘love market’,” Trip Advisor commented. The world's largest travel guide platform writes that visitors come to Ha Long Bay to get a close-up look at the limestone islands and the most visual glimpse of the stunning limestone islands, rock formations and caves here. These wonders have undergone tectonic processes over the centuries. In addition, Tripadvisor also suggests visitors rent a kayak or join a tour to explore the magnificent landscape here. Ha Long Bay also ranked second among the world's 25 natural destinations, while Hoi An ranked second among the 25 dream honeymoon destinations. In the "Cultural Destinations" category, Hue City (Thua Thien-Hue) ranked eighth. "Hue is located around the Perfume River, which bisects the Nguyen Dynasty's capital. There are countless historical sites not to be missed, especially those recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage sites. Sights may include the ornate Imperial Citadel, the colorful Thanh Toan Bridge, royal tombs and the Imperial City," TripAdvisor said. An Bang Beach in Hoi An Ancient Town, Quang Nam Province, and My Khe Beach in the central city of Da Nang ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the TripAdvisor Readers' Choice Awards Best of the Best Beaches in Asia,
