Travel to Hanoi and Northern Vietnam – Episode 804

Listen to about journey to northern Vietnam as the Newbie Traveler talks to Paul B. Kennedy from VietnamTravelWithUs.com about the place he has adopted as house.

Paul suggests, “It is so incredible. It is lovely. This, I understood within 15 minutes of currently being in Hanoi, that this was a spot I needed to be. So if I can inform in 15 minutes what this spot has to offer, I can tell you appropriate now that this absolutely has a area for you to go to. It’s a single of the several places that is so culturally loaded and wonderful at the similar time. The takeaway, the lifestyle, and the issues you can master from it, I think are further than terms.”

Paul lays out a one particular-week itinerary of Northern Vietnam with a few of optional extensions. He begins us in Hanoi with a foods tour to examine some of the road food in the location adopted by a Vespa tour of some of the primary websites like the temples, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the Temple of Literature. Students of history may possibly want to check out Hỏa Lò Prison which was the notorious “Hanoi Hilton” in the course of the Vietnamese American War.

We then head up to Sa Pa to see the rice terraces and the ethnic villages north of Hanoi. Paul suggests keeping away from the “smelly train”, and taking a non-public van up to the spot. Timing when to see this spot is critical. Arrive in the correct period and the terraces will be shades of eco-friendly and yellow. Appear in the wrong time and they may well be on hearth as they burn off off the stubble after the harvest.

Despite the fact that it is very touristy, Paul does endorse a go to to the lovely Hạ Extensive Bay. Get some assistance from a tour agent picking a boat as the boats that are most offered might be so mainly because they have a terrible name.  Then head inland to see much more limestone cliffs close to Ninh Binh in what has been known as the Hạ Long Bay of the land.

At last, we head to the center of the nation to the colonial cities of Hội An and Da Nang. You will find shorelines that are empty in the course of the daytime but fill up following the solar goes down. Paul discourages us from having the travel to see the Golden “Hand” Bridge close to Bà Nà Hills.
