Đăng trong 13.03.2012 bởi admin

A visit to Vietnam ensures amazing panorama to discover. Vietnam is perhaps the only country that has a soothing combination of expansive green fields, huge mountains and tropical climates. The beautiful terrain and gentle weather have made the country the most preferred holiday destination in Asia. Unless you embark upon Vietnam tours, you will miss the opportunity to experience the beauty of this Asian country. It is an open country, so you can get travel insurance throughout the country without any problem.

Vietnam’s landscape – The key to tourism potential

The actual charm of Vietnam lies in its topography. 3/4th of the country consists of hills and mountains. There are four different mountainous zones in the country and those are the northwestern zone, the northeastern zone or Viet Bac, the north Truong Son zone and the south Truong Son zone. Apart from the mountainous zones, there are two deltas; the Red River delta and the Mekong River delta. The country has around 3,300 km long coastline with a number of beautiful beaches like Tra Co, Lang Co, Non Nuoc, Vung Tau, Sam Son and Ha Tien. Vietnam is preferred by international tourists for its natural treasure of wildlife. There are a number of national parks, bird sanctuaries and wildlife sanctuaries in Vietnam.

Vietnam’s climate – Ensures comfortable vacation

The country is characterized by both temperate and tropical climates. Due to the effect of monsoon, the average temperature of the country is much lower than other Asian countries located in the same longitude. The winter in Vietnam is colder, while the summer is less hot. However, the country is prone to calamities such as typhoons, droughts and floods.

Travel to Vietnam

Travel to Vietnam comprises historical travel, cultural travel, scenic travel, recreational travel and ecological travel. Vietnam has many reasons for the tourists and travelers to come and visit the country.

Places to visit in Vietnam

There is a wide range of tourist spots in Vietnam, but if you are on a short vacation and tight budget, you need to be little bit selective about the places to be traveled around. It also depends on the season you choose to visit the country. For instance,

  • The southern part – This part of the country including Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong Delta has sub-tropical climate. Any time between mid October and April is the best time to tour this part of Vietnam.
  • The central part – This part of Vietnam includes famous tourist spots like Hue and Hoi An. The best time to visit this part is during March to August. This region should be strictly avoided during late October and November, as it often experiences flood during these months.
  • The northern part – This region of Vietnam includes hugely popular holiday destinations like Halong Bay, Sapa and Hanoi can be visited any time of the year excluding monsoon.

Vietnam Beaches – The main places of attraction

The country has over 3000 kilometers of coastline and it results in various stunning natural beaches. Many travelers come to the county simply to enjoy sunbath on Vietnam beaches. Phu Quoc Island, Nha Trang, Phan Thiet or Mui Ne and Hoi An are some of the most exquisite sandy beaches of Vietnam. Although the beaches are not too far from the cities and well connected to them, yet you can have some calm and serene hours at these sea-beaches.

So, if you are planning to visit Vietnam, you can do it even without any pre-booking. There are a number of dependable travel agencies that can help you in all the ways. From hotel reservation to arranging conducted tour, you can depend on them for all your travel-related requirements.

A Highlight Of Ha Tien

Đăng trong 07.12.2011 bởi admin

Mui Nai Beach in Ha Tien Town is one of the three most precious beaches in the Mekong Delta.

Three hundred years ago, Mui Nai became famous for its beauty thanks to the clean and peaceful seawater on its shores, and is considered one of the 10 scenic spots in Ha Tien today. For years, Mui Nai has attracted numerous visitors. Once tourists arrive, they are eager to visit Ta Pang Mountain area.

Sipping a cup of coffee on the observatory atop Ta Pang Mountain, guests will enjoy a superb panoramic view with one of three telescopes. Through the telescope, tourists will see Ha Tien Town, To Chau Mountain, the front beach of Mui Nai, the archipelagos of Ba Lua and Hai Tac, Luc Son Mountain, and even the islands of Koka and Kep as well as the Ha Tien-Vegas Resort of Cambodia’s Kampot Province.

Thrill-seekers can go up and down along the mountain path via the pipeline coaster system. They will sit in a car traveling on a 1,250-meter-track from a height of 128 meters at a maximum speed of 40km/h. The car zigzags along the slopes and sometimes inclines 45 degrees down the pipeline.

Tourists can also choose cable cars to go up the mountain while go down via the pipeline coasters. On the way up or down, vacationers will have the chance to contemplate the scenery, breathe the sea air and the fragrance of the paddy fields. From the mountaintop looking toward the sea, Ta Bang resembles a charming fawn lying by the golden sparkling ocean. From this vantage point, one can see Hai Tac Archipelago and emerald Phu Quoc Island in the distance.

Toward the mainland highlights of the view include the serene lighthouse on Den Mountain, the stately international border gate Xa Xia, roads winding around the mountain and houses hidden in the middle of paddy fields and green orchards.

Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a holy fawn which often drank water in this immense land. One day, struck by the beauty of the beach and finding it too late to go back to the forest, he had to stay there. Suddenly, the choppy waves appeared and the fawn was transformed into a big rock standing at the seaside.

Traveling along the roads by the seaside and breathing in the sea breeze, visitors can enjoy a leisurely or brisk stroll. Apart from seaside activities, a museum, and palmyra cake bakeries to lure more tourists, Mui Nai-Ha Tien Travel Services Company is planning to launch new services such as tent rentals for tourists to hold picnics, camp-fire or karaoke activities with friends.

Tourists can rent a room with modern conveniences at the edge of the sea at a cost of between VND250,000 and VND500,000, and enjoy fresh air that they never find in modern urban areas.
