4 Vietnam travel experiences suggested by German newspaper

German travel news site Reisereporter introduces unique experiences that not many foreign visitors know about at 4 famous destinations in Vietnam. Reisereporter says Vietnam possesses spectacular landscapes, historic cities and attractive cuisine . The S-shaped strip of land hides many unique cultural destinations and stunning natural wonders that rarely appear in international media. Editor Daniel Schramm suggests some experiences and destinations that foreign visitors "easily miss" when traveling to Phong Nha - Ke Bang, Hoi An, Con Dao, and Hue.

Phong Nha - Ke Bang cave complex, Quang Binh

The German news site describes this as "Vietnam's underground treasure". This world heritage is a mecca for those who love adventure and close experiences with nature. While Son Doong Cave is familiar to many foreign tourists, En Cave and Paradise Cave are less popular. En Cave is a great place for camping, and Paradise Cave has stalactites of many shapes.

Reisereporter suggests that visitors refer to cave exploration tours from easy to difficult levels organized by local travel companies. Visitors who cannot trek can take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Phong Nha - Ke Bang cave complex. No matter what the experience, the natural landscape here is "unforgettable".

Con Dao, Ba Ria - Vung Tau

The famous tourist destination in the South of Vietnam is introduced as "possessing dreamy and pristine beaches". This place is suitable for tourists who are looking for a peaceful and quiet resort.

One of the most impressive beaches in Con Dao recommended by Reisereporter is Dat Doc. Here you will admire the pristine white sand and clear sea water. This place is also suitable for diving (snorkeling). Another "gem" of Con Dao is An Hai beach. The gentle breeze and turquoise sea water create a picturesque scene, suitable for a romantic vacation.

There is also Con Son Bay, which is also a place for scuba diving enthusiasts. There is a rich marine ecosystem and colorful coral reefs. Staying at a homestay is recommended, where guests can immerse themselves in local life and feel the hospitality of the people.

Hoi An, Quang Nam

Hoi An is no stranger to foreign visitors to Vietnam, but there are still many interesting things outside the bustling old town. Reisereporter commented that Hoi An's "charm" is the historical architecture in the old town. However, this destination is too popular and always crowded with tourists.

Instead of staying in the city center, visitors can wake up early and spend a whole day exploring the hidden gems of Hoi An. There are many small pagodas in the area, such as the ancient Chuc Thanh Pagoda. Visitors can learn about the history and architecture of the pagoda and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the monastery.

Another experience is to visit Hoi An market located near the old town. This place is suitable for tourists who want to learn about the daily life of local people and discover pure Vietnamese culinary ingredients.

Regarding cuisine, visitors are suggested to try cao lau or banh vac and should stop by small eateries along the way.

Away from the old town lies the peaceful countryside. This is the perfect place to experience cycling or walking around the fields, see rustic villages, and learn about rural life in Central Vietnam.

Hue ancient capital

In the eyes of many foreign tourists, Hue is the image of the ancient capital with ancient tombs. This historical destination is not only that. Hue also has peaceful, mysterious pagodas that tourists rarely visit.

One of them is Thien Mu Pagoda located on the banks of the Perfume River. The pagoda has a peaceful space, separate from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Another pagoda is Dieu De, located on the outskirts of Hue. This place mainly attracts domestic tourists and locals. The quiet pagodas in Hue are suitable for tourists who want to learn about culture and religion in Vietnam, and are also places that give visitors a more "in-depth look" at the ancient capital.
