Summer Gift

Summer! The season when "the earth becomes trees, nectar overflows to taste the fruit. People's footsteps suddenly open new paths" (Summer - poem by Xuan Quynh), sweetly promising the joys of discovery and journeys to enjoy happy moments with companions.

While the North welcomes a joyful summer after long, cold winter months and a damp, drizzly spring, the Central region enjoys the refreshing sea breeze, and the South experiences a mix of rain and sunshine across its fertile orchards.

This diversity of weather and scenery is enough for travelers to create a rich menu and a challenging itinerary that fuels their adventurous spirit. Summer is the season for vacations, from vast, lush green mountains to pristine white-sand beaches, from charming city streets to legendary countryside.

Humans are like a fruit of nature, ripened by the sun, rain, waves, and wind. On the lips of the traveler, the joyful song flows from the moment "the sky gradually rises, my soul seems like a bird's wing" (Entering Summer - Lê Hựu Hà) to the lingering "Summer is joyful, my feet take flight, my hair like clouds makes my eyes sparkle" (Cloudy Hair - Phạm Thế Mỹ). Because of this joy, the feet and heart seem to soar, flying far to explore to their heart's content. Summer is like a golden time for the coastal land of the East Sea, resplendent in a long series of festivities.

The destination could be something simple like a harvest festival in the countryside, connecting people to their villages and roots; or something requiring more preparation, like an adventure through famous caves or underground rivers, known for their challenging nature; or perhaps a leisurely stroll along white sandy beaches and turquoise waters… These are all gifts that will bring you happiness. Will you choose the North with Co To Island or the Central region with the Phong Nha-Ke Bang World Natural Heritage Site? Or perhaps the orchards of the South, allowing you to slow down and leisurely follow the rhythm of the waters of the Mekong Delta?

For each place, the greatest gift might be the beauty of its way of life; the uniqueness and diversity of each location make each gift different. Be sure to read the travel guide "Summer Gifts," published in May and June 2024 on Vietnam Airlines flights. This publication will provide you with useful information for a vibrant and memorable summer.

The sunny season is the time that beckons people to travel.
