Halong Bay, Vietnam

Halong Bay is of the 7 natural wonders, and rightfully so. The emerald water combined with the thousands of tall limestone islets create an incredible landscape, wherever you look. It can be visited by day tours, or with a cruise that spends the night at the bay. I picked the latter, and I'm happy I did.

Hanoi, Vietnam

I made it to the capital! Hanoi serves as a hub to go visit most destinations in northern Vietnam, so I'll stop by several times, before finally flying out. Today I had enough time to do the 3 things everyone mentions about Hanoi: train street, egg coffee, and 5k beers at Bia Hoi Corner ($0.2).

Ninh Binh, Vietnam

Ok, so I fully broke my promise today 🙈, and rode a motorbike for most of the day. In my defense, roads in Ninh Binh are very easy to drive: wide and barely any cars. I experienced that freedom everyone trying to convince me to ride them had described. I visited the biggest Pagoda in Southeast Asia: Bai Dinh, and explore the countryside around the hostel.

Ninh Binh, Vietnam

Ninh Binh is one of the most underrated destinations in Vietnam. The landscape is decorated with immense limestone formations surrounded by rice fields. The Trang An boat ride was a beautiful way to explore all of it, and the Hang Mua Viewpoint is a must, especially for sunset. This might be my top destination in Vietnam so far. FYI: Some sleeper buses will get to their destination way earlier than expected, leaving you stranded at 3am without no accommodation.

Hue, Vietnam

Hue is mostly known for the Imperial Citadel, located in the heart of the city. Even though it was boiling hot, I had a great time exploring the temples, pagodas, and gardens within the citadel, built by the old Nguyen Empire. In the evening I took my second sleeper bus in Vietnam, destination Ninh Binh.

Hai Van Pass, Vietnam

I know I said I had promised myself not to ride a motorcycle on this trip, but literally everyone I met told me the Hai Van Pass was one of the best experiences they had in Vietnam. So I kinda half broke my promise by doing it on someone's back. The Hai Van Pass takes between 4-6 hours and goes from Hoi An to Hue, passing through beaches, mountains, and the Danang Bay. The experience was indeed incredible, and I'm so happy I did it.

Hoi An, Vietnam

Today I went to An Bang, one of Hoi An's gorgeous beaches. The rest of the day was spent exploring the countryside by bike, and wandering around Hoi An's beautiful night market, also known as "Lantern Market".
