Ha Long Bay: Vietnam has four sites recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage that all tourists can't afford to miss. From North to South, the first World Heritage site admired by all nature lovers for its natural marvel is Ha Long Bay. A four-hour boat trip will take you to beautiful hidden caves and lagoons among the massive limestone towers scattered throughout Ha Long Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin, but it may take you days to explore all the fascinating and striking sceneries of the bay. Prime spots for swimming or exploring in small longtail boats or kayaks.


Hue
is another A UNESCO World Heritage Site, once the capital of Nguyen dynasty, between early 19th and fisrt half of 20th century. The ancient citadel, built in 1804, was seriously destroyed during the American War, but now is restored and preserved with the UNESCO's help. A boat trip through lush countryside on the Perfume River to get to the Thien Mu pagoda, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Royal Tombs of Nguyen Dynasty are also suggested. Bach Ma National Park, 1,200m above the sea level but only 20km from Canh Duong beach, is also a place you can't afford to miss if you are nature lovers…
