Travel Halong Bay on a cruise

I’m Marc, a traveler and Southeast Asia enthusiast, and Ha Long Bay was high on my list of destinations on this trip. It wasn’t that I was trying to “tick a box”: I craved originality, authenticity in a vacation and one that was peaceful and well away from the surpassed tourist routes. And then I went on a 2 days on 4-Star Indochina Sails Cruise Ha Long Bay, with Autour Asia, a travel agency in Vietnam. From our first brief conversation, they offered a serious and responsive interlocutor. The minute I stepped on the 4-Star Indochina Sails Cruise, I knew this getaway was going to be different: an elegant boat without being showy, a staff who is discreet but welcoming and, most important of all, the feel of being taken out of time lost in the beauty of the bay. Those two days on the Indochina Sails junk rank as the most beautiful part of my entire Vietnam trip.

Vietnam History

Hung Vuong, the founder of the Vietnamese nation and the first king of the Hung dynasty (2879-258 B.C.), established an early system of rice field irrigation through canals and embankments, which has had a lasting impact on Vietnamese culture.
In 111 B.C., Vietnam fell under Chinese rule and remained colonized for over a thousand years. This period significantly influenced Vietnamese society, shaping its values, norms, and moral compass.
During the 1800s, the French began their colonization of Vietnam, introducing Western education, religion (including Christianity), and economic development, such as exporting tobacco, indigo, tea, and coffee.
After an uprising by nationalists in August 1945, Vietnam declared The Proclamation of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2nd, 1945. However, the French sought to regain control and initiated an eight-year war. Despite gaining independence after World War II, Vietnam was still under French rule until the Northern Vietnamese soldiers forced the surrender of the South Vietnamese government, which was supported by the US, on April 30, 1975. This marked a turning point in history as the North and the South united to form the Vietnam we know today.

Top places to visit in Vietnam

Vietnamese Culture

Vietnam has 54 official ethnic groups, with the majority being Kinh/Viet. Its diverse culture offers a mix of customs, beliefs, and religions for foreigners to experience. Marriages were historically influenced by family interests, not just love.

Vietnamese society embraces 37 religious organizations, including Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Muslim, Caodaism, and Hoa Hao Buddhism. Ancestor worship is also common.

Festivals in Vietnam showcase its rich history and art. Tet holiday features rituals, fireworks, and temple visits, while the Mid-Autumn Festival includes lanterns, lion dances, and moon cakes. Highland areas offer more adventurous festivals.

Weather in Vietnam

Vietnam experiences dramatic seasonal variations from North to South. The North has four seasons, with harsh cold in Winter and Spring and scorching heat in Summer. Tourists prefer visiting the North during Autumn for pleasant weather.

Conversely, the South has two main seasons: rainy and dry. For a sunny trip, plan your visit between April to September.

The middle area, known for its beautiful long beaches, faces storms during the rainy season. Travelers should be cautious and plan their trips accordingly.

Vietnam transportation

To navigate the famously crowded traffic in Vietnam, avoid riding bikes and consider these local transportation options:
  • Cyclo: A bicycle rickshaw providing a full view of the city. Cyclo riders usually speak basic English and cater to foreign tourists. Opt for cyclo tours organized by tourism or hotels for more fluent English-speaking riders, though it may be slower for a busy day.
  • Xe Om: A motorbike taxi offering an authentic Vietnamese experience. Many Xe Om are available around tourist areas, but remember to negotiate the price before hopping on. Alternatively, you can book a Grab bike for a transparent cost and clear pick-up/drop-off locations.
  • Taxi: Reputable nationwide companies like SM green electric taxi, Vinasun and Mai Linh offer taxi services. They also have user-friendly applications for convenient pick-up and drop-off points. The fares are comparable to booking a Grab car.
  • Inter-province Connectivity:
    - Buses and trains connect Hanoi with other provinces.
    - For private car rentals for tours or work, Autour Asia is a reliable option.
    - Experience the various transportation options in Hanoi to explore the city and beyond with ease!

Vietnam travel tips

Traveling to Vietnam requires some important considerations:
  • Currency Exchange: The official currency is the Vietnamese Dong. Exchange your money in tourist areas or city centers for better rates compared to doing so abroad. 1 USD = 23,600 VND.
  • Drinking Water: Avoid tap water and opt for bottled water, readily available for around 25 cents. Even locals refrain from drinking tap water.
  • Be Mindful of Belongings: While Vietnam is generally safe with friendly people, petty theft can occur. Keep a close eye on your belongings, especially in crowded places like bus and train stations. Wear your backpack in front for added security.
  • Beware of Counterfeits: Be cautious of counterfeit items, including tour agencies. Stick to trusted worldwide suppliers to avoid any regrets.
  • Respect Personal Boundaries: Avoid touching anyone's head, particularly elders, as it is considered irritating and disrespectful.
