Essential Vietnam – Between Tradition, Nature and Daily Life

During the 2024 year-end holidays, a group of travelers embarked on an emotional and authentic trip to Vietnam, carefully curated by Bellasia Travel with professionalism. The tour began in the vibrant capital of Hanoi, where colonial heritage intertwines with Asian spirituality and modern hustle. Among mausoleums, pagodas, and historic cafés, participants got a first taste of the soul of the country.
The journey continued through the breathtaking landscapes of Ninh Binh, nicknamed “Halong Bay on land,” with serene rivers, mysterious caves, and limestone mountains. The cruise in the legendary Halong Bay offered postcard-worthy views before flying to Central Vietnam.
Hue and Hoi An welcomed the travelers with timeless atmospheres: ancient imperial tombs, colorful lanterns, local markets, and traditional crafts painted a vivid and authentic picture.
Finally, southern Vietnam revealed its dynamic side with Saigon, the Cu Chi Tunnels, and the daily river life of the Mekong Delta. In Can Tho, the group witnessed life on the water, among floating markets and villages surrounded by nature.

As noted in many Bellasia Travel reviews, this trip to Vietnam offered the perfect balance between culture, nature, and daily discovery.
