One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the culture and colours of Vietnam is to get involved in one of the many events that are a joyful celebration of the country’s rich cultural heritage. Go to Vietnam for Tet Nguyen Dan, the lunar New Year celebrations in January and February. Head to one of the bigger cities, such as Hanoi, and watch firework displays as families gather to welcome in the new year at various temples throughout the city. During this time you can also experience the flower stalls that pop up, marking the tradition of flower-giving at New Year. If you have flights to Vietnam in early September you should travel to Hue to witness Wandering Souls Day. During this festival, which happens throughout Vietnam, locals visit the graves of loved ones to pray and offer gifts of traditional foods. Hue is a good place to experience these Buddhist traditions as locals and monks gather at temples, praying for the departed souls. Another event not to be missed, occurring on the 14th of every month, is the Hoi An Lantern Festival where the streets and restaurants light up with paper lanterns and candles in place of electricity.
Vietnam’s cultural diversity lends itself to a richly varied cuisine resulting in a vast range of tasty, healthy dishes. Pho is an important Vietnamese dish, a flavour-filled noodle soup dish with beef, bean sprouts and fresh herbs. A dish that may be easier to eat on the go is a French-inspired Banh Mi, a toasted sandwich filled with meat or fish, pickled vegetable, herbs, and chilli. In the south of Vietnam, especially around Ho Chi Minh City, fish-lovers should try the Ca Kho To, caramelised fish cooked and served in a clay pot. The combination of sweet and salty flavours are traditionally complimented with plain white rice and fresh green vegetables. Try something local for breakfast like Com Tam or Broken Rice – a popular rice dish served with a fried egg, onions and a choice of meat, and traditionally eaten either at lunch or breakfast. While the bigger cities have a choice of traditional restaurants such as Quan An Ngon in District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City or Xuan Xuan, a barbeque style restaurant in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, visitors should definitely try out the buzzing night markets and street markets to experience a true Vietnamese cuisine experience.
Vietnam has something for everyone from relaxing in the beauty of nature or satisfying your historical and cultural curiosity. Look at Vietnam flight deals and travel from Da Nang to Hue Imperial City on the Huong River. Here you can explore the historical citadel, which has an abundance of monuments, buildings, and beautiful landscaping within the walls. The attraction is open all year but it is advisable to visit before October or after December to avoid the monsoon season. Enjoy nature with a trip to Ha Long Bay in the north of Vietnam and hop on a boat to visit the collection of limestone islands and caves that are dotted around the bay, covering a vast area. The best time to visit is between October and December, though these months can be crowded at Halong Bay. A visit to Vietnam is not complete without going to Hoi An Town with an architectural mix of buildings including Japanese pagodas, Chinese temples, and French-style colonial houses. Visit at night and enjoy the lanterns that illuminate the buildings.
