Hanoi, Vietnam
The country’s capital city, home to the Vietnamese government and resting place
of the great leader, Ho Chi Minh himself. The city retains many French
influences and is home to several lakes and a busy little old quarter where most
backpackers tend to congregate. Although it is smaller than Ho Chi Minh City in
the south, many travellers find Hanoi more interesting and more welcoming.

Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam

Ninh Bình, Vietnam
Unremarkable but ridiculously friendly town. Get ready for locals, especially
children coming to say hello to you in the street. It is a short moto or cycle
to the caves at Tam Coc, which are the main reason travellers come to Ninh Binh.
You could just stay for one day and see Tam Coc, which is like an inland version
of Ha Long Bay. However the area is great for cycling or long walks in the
countryside so an extra day may be worth it. By night, there’s not much to do in
Ninh Binh except head to a local restaurant or bar and enjoy some Vietnamese
food, and maybe a few beers with the locals.
