4 Attractions Suggested By Your Vietnam Tour Operator If You Need To Avoid The Crowds by HArold DelaVega
Vietnam is fast transforming into a hub for travel in Southeast Asia. Although not as heavily commercialised as Thailand and Malaysia, there is no doubt it is on its way there with the increasing volume of tourist arrivals every year. While some of you may despair at the thought of throngs of people spoiling your holidays, it will be good to find out that Vietnam still has plenty of places that are away from the beaten path. Similarly there’s lots of ways to stay away from the heavy crowd in many popular destinations during your holiday. Below are some places you can go to with the help of your Vietnam tour operator,:
Sa Pa:
Located in Vietnam’s remote north-western mountain region, Sa Pa is known for its lovely and rugged scenery, and cultural diversity. The place hosts lots of hill tribes, rice terraces, and thick vegetation. It’s very close to Vietnam’s tallest peak, Fan Si Pan, which is 3,142 metres high. While the town itself gets packed at times (particularly on weekends) you can avoid this by checking out the countryside areas, that will need more than a day’s walk to reach..
My Son:
Found 43 miles (69 kilometres) southwest of Da Nang, My Son has the ruins of the Champa civilisation, that have been known to exist between the 4th and 14th centuries. The Hindu-influenced complex was utilised for religious ceremonies for kings. It was also a burial site for members of the Cham royalty along with their national heroes. Beholding the oldest structures still seen in the country should be a fun trip for history enthusiasts. Note that that the area could get a bit crowded so you should try heading there very early in the day (preferably at dawn) if you wish to beat the crowd and heat.
Bai Tu Long National Park:
Located next to its more famous counterpart, Ha Long Bay, the place also has Ha Long’s delightful scenery of islands, seas, and rocks. The only difference is, it is not as crowded. Additionally, the park has five distinct ecosystems: Rain Broad Leaves Forest, Limestone Forest, Littoral Ecosystem, Corals, and Shallow Water. Some of these areas, especially the Shallow Water area, haven’t yet been completely explored by scientists.
Bach Ma National Park:
If you want a little bit of untamed Vietnamese nature, this place is for you. Located some 56 miles (90 kilometres) north of Hoi An, the park is a model for biodiversity with its jungles, vegetation-filled valleys, and wonderful views of the beaches. Make sure you bring quite a lot of bottled water, a hat, plus a rain jacket during the hike as the area is among the wettest in Vietnam.
There are many more places you may visit that are not very congested, and ways to steer clear of too many visitors in more popular attractions. It helps to do your research before your trip, check information on the net for tips and travelers’ info. You can also ask your Vietnam tour operator or other people you know who were there, they’ll be the best people to give you first-hand reports on what you should expect when you get to your destination.
Final Tips:
Before you go, become aware of a few important things to ensure a smooth holiday. Vietnam visitors should make sure to dress decently, avoid upsetting your hosts or be too camera-happy. Avoid bringing up political subjects, particularly those relating to the Vietnam War. Finally, make sure to avoid flaunting your wealth since it is rude to them, and it can make you a hot target for snatchers. Bear in mind these things and you’ll most likely enjoy your trip.
