Exotic and mysterious sounds of the jungle, lianas overgrown with walls of Buddhist temples and riding on elephants, inexpensive but high-quality hotels and pristine beaches, bays of unprecedented beauty and bizarre cliffs rising from the water all attract tourists to Vietnam. Rest (reviews from 2013 will tell us about this) here is simply extremely successful. Of course, for those who know how to choose and understand the price-quality ratio. He also loves a varied and tasty cuisine, which very bizarrely and at the same time delicately combines national, regional and European (mainly French) notes.
Connoisseurs of this country increasingly give us recommendations on how to better spend their holidays here. Vietnam, reviews of which are beginning to occupy the top ten TOP impressions of the most rated countries for relaxation, is famous for its excellent tourist infrastructure, stunning scenery, good service and the cheapest prices in the region.
Beach holidays - Vietnam. Reviews about the sea
Both in season and in rains - it is always good here. True, when it comes to the southern part of the country, in the north in the winter the rain drizzles, as in Paris. But it is always hot here, so do not forget the good sun creams, and also avoid direct exposure to its rays. And then burns can go off for a very long time, if you do not take care. Many tourists do not boast of beaches - both public and hotel ones. And if your hotel is on the first line and has its own access to the sea, then you have a chance to enjoy Wi-Fi right on the beach. Many resorts are located so that a constant breeze blows from the sea. This helps to tolerate the local heat well.
Cuisine and leisure - Vietnam. Reviews lovers to eat
The "old-timers" of this country do not recommend buying tours on an all-inclusive basis, but they advise taking hotels only with breakfast. It is then that truly immense possibilities open before you. After all, local food is not only exotic, but also diverse, and in order to try at least one hundredth of it, you need to go to cafes and restaurants to choose an institution to your liking. Vacationers primarily value fish and seafood - because, as a rule, they live on the coast, where all these gifts of Neptune are fresh and cheap. Still fruit - pitahaya, yellow mango (the sweetest and completely unlike the Mediterranean), rambutan, the king of durian fruits (if you, of course, know how to eat it and get rid of the bad smell). The country is also famous for such dishes that you can’t try in other places - from crocodiles, snakes, scorpions ... Well, of course, the “fo” soup is a must on the menu - a competitor to the Thai “tom pit”. Almost no equal to the local coffee - after special brewing in a strainer, it acquires a unique taste.
Shopping and leisure - Vietnam. Reviews of shopaholics
Back in Soviet times, tourists traveled for silver, pearls, and silk products. Of course, the country has not become scarce now, and modern holidaymakers also get all these souvenirs in abundance. But now it’s not so expensive to buy real exclusive things - for example, various fashion accessories from crocodile or snake (python) skin. By the way, it’s worth going to the markets (especially the night ones) just for the sake of exoticism and entertainment, but the real good things are offered for almost the same prices by “local” supermarkets - “Maxi Mark” or “So Or”.
But the best vacation in Vietnam - as tourists who have seen everything in the world claim - these are independent routes outside large and popular resort areas. There you will see real exoticism, and not “Potemkin villages” imprisoned for Russians.
