Sapa is located in the Lao Cai province in the mountainous region in the far northwest of the Vietnam, almost near the border of China. Sapa was originally a hill station built by the French in 1922 for summer retreats from Hanoi.
Sapa is the home to diverse mountain tribe communities including the H’mong, Tay, Dao and Thai ethnic groups, and visits to the markets and nearby villages of the ethnic tribes are one of the highlights of most trips.
Nha Trang lies in a beautiful bay on the south central coast of Vietnam. With white sandy beaches and many nearby islands, as well as a range of nightlife options, it is a great holiday destination for sun and fun.
While Nha Trang is increasingly becoming known as the place to come and party for the younger “backpacker” crowd, it also offers a range of higher-end beach resorts for families or those who just want to get away.
Dalat, the city of Eternal Spring, is the main city of Lam Dong province in the Central highlands of Vietnam, some 300 km north of Ho Chi Minh city. Lakes, waterfalls, forests and gardens surround the town and most tourists spend their time exploring the beautiful countryside by foot, motorbike or bicycle. The cool climate and the scenic environment make Dalat a good option for escaping the heat of South Vietnam.
Phu Quoc lies in the Gulf of Thailand, southwest of Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, not far from the coast of Cambodia. Famous in Vietnam for its high quality fish sauce and pepper, Phu Quoc is increasingly becoming a tourist destination, although still largely undeveloped and unspoiled by tourism.
