Travel website Culture Trip of the UK has released a new list of the most instagrammable places in Vietnam for a 12-day tour, with Hanoi, Ha Giang, Da Lat, and Phu Quoc among the numerous fantastic destinations on offer.
Muong Hoa Valley is a valley in Sa Pa surrounded by mountains on both sides. This is one of the most popular trekking spots in the region, presenting endless opportunities to take photographs of mountains, terraced rice fields, waterfalls, and streams, the Culture Trip wrote.
According to the British media outlet, travelers should not miss out on visiting Ban Gioc-Detian Falls which straddles the border between China and Vietnam. It’s the fourth-largest waterfall along a national border in the world. The route up is just as beautiful as the falls themselves.
The third position goes to Ma Pi Leng Pass which is a mountainous route in northern Ha Giang province. Measuring approximately 20km long, it connects the towns of Dong Van and Meo Vac. It’s a spectacular stretch of road overlooking stunning rock formations, rice terraces, and gorgeous scenery.
UNESCO World Heritage Site Ha Long Bay is by far the most popular tourist destination in the country, and the best way to get around is by joining a tour.
Ninh Binh is similar to Ha Long Bay as it boasts hundreds of limestone monoliths topped by dense greenery. The only difference is that these don’t emerge from the water but the ground. Rivers flow between them, making for rich and varied photography opportunities, whilst there are also plenty of pagodas and peaks to snap too.
Son Doong Cave is nestled in Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park in central Quang Binh province. It is considered to be the largest cave in the world. It is among the most instagrammable places across the country for a 12-day tour.
Hai Van Pass is probably one of the most scenic routes in the country, snaking its way through the coast and up into the mountains. Reaching up to 500m in altitude, this is the highest pass throughout the nation. From here, tourists can enjoy spectacular views of the mountainous landscape and turquoise coastline below, all of which are ideal for photos.
Recognised as a UNESCO site, My Son Sanctuary is composed of ruins from the ancient Champa civilisation that once served as an important political and religious site in Vietnam.
The Pongour Waterfalls can be found in Da Lat. With guests encouraged to snap pictures of the huge rocky chasms, or try to snap the wide, terraced falls in one go. The site boasts lush foliage and plenty of dragonflies, UK-based travel website Culture Trip wrote.
Mui Ne in southcentral Binh Thuan province is home to two vast expanses of sand, including red and white dunes. Guests going at either sunrise or sunset can event pretend that they’re in the Sahara, the foreign media outlet suggested.
Ben Thanh Market is not only a place where daily trading takes place, but also serves as a historical site that has witnessed all the ups and downs of Ho Chi Minh City. A landmark, a rendezvous point, and a beautiful background for photos, this spot is a rite of passage for all visitors to the southern city.
The Cu Chi Tunnels are a famous tourist attraction in Ho Chi Minh City. It offers the chance to snap some amazing pictures as tourists crawl on all fours into chambers and tunnels where both soldiers and civilians lived during the Vietnam War.
The Mekong Delta region is a place where floating markets are found, making them ideal for energetic photos of trade amid exotic and lush surrounds.
Phu Quoc is home to some of the best beaches in the country. Of these, Long Beach is known to have the best sunset views and, as a result, is lined with luxury resorts.
