5 of the most romantic autumn destinations in Vietnam.

Besides Hanoi, Ha Giang , and Da Lat, other destinations such as Lan Ha Bay and Phu Quoc are places where autumn is "enchanting" for tourists, according to Booking.com.

Booking, the Netherlands-based booking app, today announced its list of the 5 most "romantic" destinations in Vietnam for autumn. The locations were selected based on surveys of website readers and Booking's travel experts, according to criteria such as scenery, weather, and ease of access by public transport.

Hanoi

Hanoi in the cool autumn is "associated with the scents" emanating from the milkwood trees, the flower vendors' carts filling the streets, and the delicious dishes made from freshly harvested green rice flakes.

In autumn, the milk flower blossoms white along Phan Dinh Phung, Quan Thanh, and Quang Trung streets, and around West Lake. Try strolling through Hanoi's Old Quarter, exploring its narrow alleys, finding a café or street food stall, and enjoying sticky rice flakes and some honey-glazed fried cakes while savoring the autumnal atmosphere.

Accommodation suggestion: Located just a 2-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, May De Ville Luxury Hotel & Spa is a modern and cozy hotel. It's close to several popular attractions such as Ngoc Son Temple, the Opera House, and the cathedral.

Lan Ha Bay

Coming in second on the list is Lan Ha Bay, south of Cat Ba Island, Hai Phong, one of the world's most beautiful bays, recognized by the World's Most Beautiful Bays Club in 2020. Unlike Ha Long Bay, most of the islands in Lan Ha Bay are covered in lush green vegetation.

For those seeking a destination with breathtaking natural beauty but not too many crowds, or those who have already visited Ha Long Bay and want a new experience, Lan Ha Bay is an ideal choice, according to Booking.com.

Accommodation suggestion: Lan Ha Floating House in Cat Ba offers sea views, a garden, a bar, and a private beach. This property is also close to popular attractions such as Monkey Island and Ben Beo Port.

Ha Giang

In autumn, the Dong Van Plateau is covered with fields of buckwheat flowers, their white petals tinged with pink and purple. Many tourists choose to travel to Ha Giang by motorbike to fully appreciate the beauty that only appears towards the end of the year in this region.

For the locals, buckwheat is an important grain, usually planted after the summer-autumn rice harvest. During their autumn trip, visitors can not only enjoy the vibrant colors of the flowers but also have the opportunity to taste wine and cakes made from buckwheat grains.

Suggested destination: Panhou Retreat in Hoang Su Phi is a resort with bungalows overlooking a small lake and gardens. Guests can sign up for guided trekking tours, participate in cooking classes, enjoy herbal baths, and relaxing massages.

Da Lat

Da Lat is suitable for travel at any time of year. In autumn, it is covered in the golden color of wild sunflowers. From the moment you arrive in Bao Loc, you'll see wild sunflowers adding color to the pine hills shrouded in mist.

With its cool climate year-round and chilly nights, Da Lat is an ideal destination for those seeking to escape the heat.

Accommodation suggestion: Da Lat Edensee Lake Resort & Spa is located 10 km from the city center and 30 km from Lien Khuong Airport. Tuyen Lam Lake provides a stunning landscape and a tranquil atmosphere for the resort.

Phu Quoc

Coming in fifth is Phu Quoc, Vietnam's largest island, famous for its fine white sand beaches, clear waters, and ancient fishing villages. October and November are the perfect months to visit Phu Quoc as this is the most beautiful season on the island.

Tourists have countless activities to experience: swimming in the clear blue sea, cycling to admire the scenery, kayaking, snorkeling to see coral reefs, visiting pepper gardens, traditional fish sauce production facilities, and pearl farming.

Accommodation suggestion: With its prime beachfront location, Ocean Bay Phu Quoc Resort & Spa is a 5-star accommodation near several popular attractions such as Ong Lang Beach and Sung Hung Pagoda.

Booking conducted the survey from August to the end of September, targeting voters who are involved in planning or deciding on trips, and who have travel plans in the next 1-2 months.

"This is the time for us to slow down, take walks together, and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery before the cold winter arrives," the booking platform stated.
