In 2022, the Vietnamese Imperial Citadel and UNESCO Site of Hue is hosting the exciting biennial Hue Festival. This cultural heritage festival delivers 50 rich and authentic experiences divided into four seasonal festivities. Culinary, music, art, sporting events, lantern festivals and various folklore and cultural events provide visitors and locals alike a vibrant interaction between the modern and the traditional. Each season offers a unique group of events.
The quintessential dreamlike environment of Moc Chau is one of those inspiring experiences. In the area of stunning undulating green tea hills and ethnic villages northwest of Hanoi is the breathtaking Bac Long Glass Bridge opened in April 2022 offering magnificent views of the area. It holds the Guinness Record for the longest glass-bottom bridge and cliffside path in the world.
Southern Vietnam offers many marvels of nature. A quick 45-minute flight from Saigon will bring you to pristine white sandy beaches with dramatic landscapes of forested mountains, and the crystal-clear blue waters of Con Dao. The government is planning major upgrades to the infrastructure for ecotourism status. The island also presents a unique experience to learn about its earlier history. Phu Quoc Island, more developed than Con Dao, is also partly protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It is an interesting mix of local and newly built Mediterranean-style architecture and home to high-quality fish sauce and black pepper production. The islands are the perfect place to enjoy diving, snorkeling, hiking, or simply relaxing.
