Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of
the country's natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the
Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are
a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by women in conical
hats.
There are some divine beaches along the coast, while inland there
are soaring mountains, some of which are cloaked by dense, misty
forests. Vietnam also offers an opportunity to see a country of
traditional charm and rare beauty rapidly opening up to the outside
world.
When To Go
Vietnam is a country where tourists can visit in all four seasons.
The country's tourism service offers a range of programs convenient
to your circumstances.
In the North, the best tourist season lasts from November to April
the next year. Spring time is especially pleasant because of the
cooler, drier climate. Also at this time there are a lot of ritual
ceremonies and folk festivals of many diverse forms; such as: Festivals
to commemorate national heroes and heroines, folk cultural festivals,
spring festivals, as well as prayer ceremonies for good crops, to
cite just a few.
The most interesting one is the Lunar New Year Festival.
Visiting Vietnam in that season, you are recommended to bring along
warm clothes. The temperature in Winter is around 10-15 degree Celsius.
It becomes warmer in March and April.
Meanwhile in the South, the average temperature throughout the
year is about 27 degree Celsius, so you just need thin garments,
sun glasses and may be a hat or two.
