Ha Giang

Nho Que River, Ha Giang.

Ranked 10th in the list, Ha Giang is considered the "roof of Northeastern Vietnam" with its wild, majestic beauty and unique culture. This place is famous for its winding passes like silk ribbons across the mountains, terraced fields that change color with the seasons, and the vibrant life of ethnic minority communities.

One of the symbols of Ha Giang is Ma Pi Leng Pass – “the most beautiful pass in the world” – where every bend opens up a breathtakingly breathtaking scene. From the high point of Tham Ma, visitors can admire the magical beauty of Nho Que River, a jade green river winding under the deep abyss.

Ha Giang is not only a place name, but also a journey of identity discovery , where each trip leaves unforgettable memories.

Hoi An

If Ha Giang represents the majestic natural beauty, Hoi An is the embodiment of peace, tranquility and art. Located on the poetic Hoai River, Hoi An is like a vivid picture with ancient yellow roofs and walls, colorful lanterns shining throughout the small streets.

Life in Hoi An is slow, but never dull. Mornings here start with a cup of hot coffee on the porch, afternoons are spent leisurely cycling through lush green rice fields, and at night, the ancient town lights up in the shimmering light of floating lanterns on the river.

Not only a tourist destination, Hoi An is also a place that preserves precious traditional cultural values, from typical cuisine to traditional craft villages and unique architecture that have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage.

Vietnam – A place where global beauty converges

The presence of Ha Giang and Hoi An in the list of the most beautiful destinations in the world is not only the pride of Vietnamese tourism, but also a testament to the strong development potential of sustainable tourism, associated with the preservation and honor of indigenous values.

As global tourism increasingly emphasizes the element of identity, destinations such as Ha Giang and Hoi An are becoming the top choices for international tourists who want to explore "hidden gems" - places that are not only beautiful but also offer authentic and profound experiences.
