Travel magazine Cruise Passenger has published an article in which it describes Vietnam as one of the leading luxury destinations throughout Asia.
Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO - recognized World Heritage Site in Vietnam.
The magazine recommend that tourists spend time visiting two scenic spots in Vietnam, namely Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh and Phu Quoc island situated in the southern province of Kien Giang.
According to the article, the best way to enjoy Ha Long Bay’s dramatic karst limestone formations is by taking an overnight cruise on Paradise Vietnam, one of the best boats in the World Heritage Site.
Meanwhile, Phu Quoc boasts resorts which are between the sand and the jungle, with the newly built Regent offering pool suites and villas that have full of natural light, along with kilometres of pristine beaches and some lively markets nearby.
The magazine also reports that Ho Chi Minh City, the biggest urban centre in Vietnam, can seem overwhelming to travelers due to its hectic torrent of motorbikes which fill the streets all day and night.
It therefore advises all tourists to try and escape from the traffic and experience some of the southern city’s trendiest rooftop bars. Social Club Saigon, on the top two floors of the Hôtel des Arts, is widely regarded as the best in town and boasts an impressive collection of gin, while Glow Rooftop Lounge and Chill SkyBar have panoramic views which can match their extensive cocktail menus.
With regard to a place to head to escape and enjoy serenity, the article introduces the Amanoi on the dramatic coastline of Vinh Hy Bay which was the country’s first six-star resort when it opened less than a decade ago. The resort embraces its verdant setting on the edge of a national park with timber sundecks, large sliding doors, and latticed windows.
The magazine also suggests that tourists prepare for the ultimate Vietnam adventure with a trip the world’s largest cave, known as Son Doong in the central province of Quang Binh. It notes that in order to preserve the site, there’s a limit of just 1,000 visitors a year, which is the main reason why an expedition into the cavern complex costs roughly US$4,000 per person
Other Asian countries also mentioned in the list are Singapore, Thailand, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
