Cruising on Halong Bay - Vietnam visa Singapore

Top 5 destinations for President Obama in Vietnam

The New York Times has recently released top five attractions that President Barack Obama should see during his first time in Vietnam. The following destinations are good recommendations for President Obama, apart from others that have plenty to offer tourists, including picturesque port cities, temples and historic sites.

Halong Bay

Halong Bay is an attractive destination which comprises more than 1,600 limestone islands and islets scattering around emerald green water. It is a UNESCO world natural heritage site and one of the must-see attractions of any trip in Vietnam. The beauty of Halong Bay is said to be amazing with full of limestone caves and grottoes, together with some popular floating villages where you can visit to observed how locals make their livelihoods from the water.

Cruising on Halong Bay - Vietnam visa Singapore

The best way to explore the beauty of the bay as well as to touch the nature inside Halong is taking an overnight Halong bay tourand cruise and joining some adventurous activities including rock climbing and kayaking.

Vietnam Discovery Travel would like to offer tourists a wide range of tour in Halong Bay, which can be customized or tailor-made to satisfy all your needs. Some popular tours in Halong can be found at: https://vietnamdiscovery.com/destination/halong-bay-8 .

The Temple of Literature (Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam)

After a 30-minute drive from the Hanoi’s Old Quarter, tourists will reach the Temple of Literature – Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam, a sprawling complex of the ancient Hanoi capital. Built in 1070, it is not only one of several temples in Vietnam which is dedicated to Confucius, sages and scholars; but also the first university of Vietnam.

Tourists to the Temple of Literature can live in a peaceful place with courtyards, green lawns and a pond. In addition, the temple is highlighted by the names of more than a thousand scholars inscribed on tombstones. Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam is both a worthwhile stop-over in any popular Hanoi city tour and a “should come” place for students coming to pray for luck before their exams.

Cu Chi Tunnels

Lying entirely in a tropical jungle, which is easy to reach after a 2.5-hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, Cu Chi tunnels was used to be the place witnessing several military campaigns during the Vietnam War and also be the shelters of Viet Cong soldiers. Especially for those who are fancy of Vietnamese history, the best way to see and learn about it is to book in advance a half-day Cu Chi tunnels tour with local guide who can give you introduction on the structure of the tunnel system and how Vietnamese soldiers used them during the war.

Hoi An Ancient Town

It’s no doubt that spending at least a day tour in Hoi An is a worthwhile experience for any tourist during their Vietnam journey. Being a UNESCO’s cultural world heritage site belonging to the central coast of Vietnam, the ancient town of Hoi An has been incredibly well-preserved as it was used to be the Southeast Asian trading port from the 15th to 19th centuries. The best way to discover the small but charming town is strolling around the town and along the Thu Bon River for sightseeing the historic ancient houses.

Hanoi’s French Quarter

Spending an afternoon exploring the Hanoi’s French Quarter is another recommendation for President Obama to visit during his time in Vietnam. Coming there, you will be excited not only by the architecture dated from the time when the French colonized the city, but also by the vibrant and bustling scene of the streets.

Tourists are able to see neon light displays, vendors hawking local goods such as lanterns and slippers, as well as to enjoy a bowl of Pho – the Vietnamese traditional noodle soup – and a cup of Vietnamese coffee at a street stall inside the French Quarter. Taking a tuk-tuk or three-wheeled scooter ride to explore this area is a good choice before stopping for drinking a cup of coffee and watching locals lives their daily lives.

Diving is the main attraction with the waters bursting with marine life; clown fish, yellowfin tuna, dolphins, bump head parrotfish, and a variety of shark species as well as gorgonian and black coral.

Countless secluded and empty beaches can be reached by boat, and a number of charming coastal towns, typical of the Red Sea area, can be strolled on a warm summer evening, and it’s only a short flight from the UAE.

Dizin, Iran

Set high in the Alborz Mountains, a short ride north of Tehran, Dizin is one of the country’s most famous ski resorts and one of 40 of the world’s highest.

With a season lasting longer than many European alps thanks to an altitude of 3,600 metres there’s around 459 hectares of skiable terrain (between December to late May).

Perfect for hiking and biking in summer, with amazing views of one of the highest volcanoes in the world, Mount Damavand.

Dakhla, Western Sahara

Under Moroccan administration, Dakhla is slowly becoming a surfing mecca, famed for its wild Atlantic rollers. The desert seemingly sinks into the sea on the narrow peninsula which is famous for its consistent wave breaks between October and February.

The best spots are the beach breaks in Lâayoune and Bojador, and also Pointe de l’Or. Nouâdhibou is one of the most undiscovered surfing/coastal gems in the region, and features a curious mix of Mauritanian and Senegalese cultures.

Vietnam has become increasingly popular as an Asian destination, but focus lays in the two larger cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Son Doong Cave Vietnam – via flikr Myilmazarslan

As quite a recent discovery, having only been extensively explored in 2009 by the British Cave Research Association, it’s been hailed as the largest of its kind in the world. Set deep in the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park in central Vietnam, the ancient cave was carved from the Annamite Mountains almost three million years ago.

More people have walked upon Mount Everest than have set foot here, that’s how new and remote it is.

The Hang Son Doong Cave soars 200 metres in height, and is approximately 150 metres wide, and the entire cave system extends almost nine kilometres, with evergreen tropical forests growing within.

Located near the Ban Doong ethnic minority village in the Karst Mountains and home to a timeless way of life.

Hsipaw, Myanmar

Myanmar is growing in popularity now that the country is more accessible to visitors and is a relatively young travel destination.

To experience the essence of this country, untouched by tourism, take a daily train to Mandalay to reach Hsipaw. Set deep in the highlands of the Shan State and dating back to 58 BC, it was once a royal city of the Shan chieftains who ruled until 1959.

Perfect for trekkers or hikers, the Burmese hills are stunning and uncrowded. The town is filled with traditional wooden longhouses and the Haw palaces of the Shan Kings are a must see.

Hoh Xil (Kekexili), Tibet

Perched high on the Tibetan Plateau, Hoh Xil is the third-least populated area on the planet, and China’s least. Sprawling between Tanggula and Kunlun, it sits at 4,700 metres above sea level.

Qingzang Railway runs on its edge, and the Fenghuo Shan Tunnel is the world’s highest railway tunnel.
