The Soul of Vietnam: Hanoi to Halong Bay
Overview
Vietnam is a beautiful country with lots of culture, history, and gorgeous scenery. Hanoi is the capital, and it is a fun, lively place to visit with many interesting old temples and colonial buildings. The Vietnamese have a unique heritage that can be seen in the rural area around Mai Chau, which is made up of beautiful rice paddies and quaint stilt houses. There are also some great places to visit near Ninh Binh, which is about 2 hours south of Hanoi, where you can take boat rides through beautiful limestone formations. There are also limestone islands that provide a stunning backdrop to photograph in Ha Long Bay, which is about 4 hours northeast of Hanoi. Each of these places has so much to offer, and together they make for one of the best trips you will ever take.
