Vietnam is famous for its
marvelous scenery, many pristine temples, colonial impressive architecture,
geological wonders, and the unique cuisine with so many delicious foods, but
this quaint country has also plenty of interesting experiences you won't find
elsewhere. From the hill tribe in Sapa to downing Halong Bay or from Hue
Citadel to the Mekong Delta, all will bring you from this surprise to another.
Right now, if you are interested in our gorgeous country, check out our list 8
crazy experiences you will have when travel to Vietnam:
1 Sampling a shot of snake wine
Snake wine is the ultimate exotic
drink to try in Vietnam; produced by infusing whole snakes (mostly venomous
ones) in a glass jar of rice wine. While you can find snake wine sold at most markets
and touristy shops, Le Mat Snack Village in Hanoi is the most popular spot to
sample this unique drink, paired with an eight-course set of snake-oriented
delicacies.
2 Crawling through Viet Cong
Secret Tunnels
Although we wouldn’t recommend
this to claustrophobics, crawling through Chu Chi Tunnels is one of the most
thrilling experiences in Vietnam. Located 70km northwest of Ho Chi Minh City,
the historical site has over 120km of underground tunnels, most of which fitted
with trapdoors, living areas, kitchens, storage facilities, armoury, hospitals,
and command centres. You only get to explore a small part of the Chu Chi
Tunnels, but you’ll get a sense of what it would have been like during the war
in the 1960s and '70s.
3 Sandboarding on Mui Ne Sand
Dunes
The Sand Dunes of Mui Ne are
popular not only for their picturesque landscapes, but also for offering
fun-filled activities such as sandboarding, kite flying and quad-biking. You
can find plenty of tour operators in Mui Ne that organise daytrips to these
Saharan-like red and white sand dunes, while plastic sheds are available for
rental at affordable prices.
4 Riding a cyclo through Hoi An
Ancient Town
20 Hoi An Ancient Town is a
pedestrian-friendly, living museum that houses Chinese temples, a
Japanese-designed bridge, traditional markets, wooden shop-houses, French-
colonial houses, and old canals. While you can easily explore on foot, riding a
cyclo is a fun (and relaxing) way of getting around this UNESCO-listed town.
Some cyclo drivers can speak English or French, and are more than happy to give
you some local insights during your visit in Hoi An.
5 Haggling at the local markets
Exploring local markets are great for lots of
things, including authentic Vietnamese food, bustling atmosphere, and a
colourful display of stalls selling fresh produce, household items, and
apparel. You’ll also get to see unusual sights such as old ladies smoking huge
hand-rolled cigarettes and freshly butchered meat and fish on display. If
you’re looking to buy anything, haggling with the vendors is the best way to
get a decent price.
6 Drinking USD 0.50 beers at Bia
Hoi Junction in Hanoi
A trip to Hanoi wouldn’t be
complete until you’ve spent the evening at Bia Hoi Junction, located in the
centre of Old Quarter. The city’s busiest nightlife venue is filled with
plastic stools for people to sit on whilst enjoying local beers for as little
as USD 0.50 per glass. There are also plenty of street vendors serving steamed
peanuts, beef jerky and other exotic snacks if you’re feeling peckish.
7 Exploring Paradise Cave at
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
in Central Vietnam boasts over 300 limestone caves and grottoes, most of which
are said to have formed over 400 million years ago. While many travellers
choose to explore Son Doong due to its status as the world’s largest cave, our
favourite is Paradise Cave as it features spectacular shapes of limestone
stalactites and stalagmites. Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is also a great
place for mountain-biking, bird-watching, and hiking through the verdant
rainforest.
8 Staying with a hill tribe
family in Sapa
One of the best ways to fully experience the local lifestyle is arranging for a homestay in Sapa’s traditional villages. Located 400 kilometres from Hanoi, Sapa is a popular place for travellers looking to explore its rugged landscape for a few days. Best of all, its many hill tribes, such as Giay, Hmong and Red Dao, are more than happy to offer you a place to stay at their homes, where you can enjoy authentic regional dishes, dress up in local costumes, and try your hand at working in the fields.
