According to the magazine, from the melodious calls of greater racket-tailed drongos, so striking they seem almost unreal, to the vivid crimson sunbirds whose jewel-like plumage instantly draws the eye, the city offers a far from ordinary birdwatching experience.

“With over 900 types of birds within the country, including 18 endemic species, Vietnam is not to be missed,” Condé Nast Traveller stressed.

It also suggested that for those seeking an immersive stay, Banyan Tree Lang Co offers a distinctive gateway to birdwatching in central Vietnam. The resort presents the experience in multiple ways, including a recently unveiled bird sanctuary photo gallery featuring images captured by guests, serving as both inspiration and a reminder of the need to protect these fragile habitats. For the best experience, opt for a private pool villa, where sweeping sea views come with direct birdwatching opportunities and ever-changing scenery that never grows old.

Other best places for birdwatching include Wilpattu, Sinharaja and Yala in Sri Lanka; Langkawi in Malaysia; Maasai Mara and Mount Kenya in Kenya; Bandhavgarh in India; Anjajavy in Madagascar; Spean Bridge in Scotland; Monteverde and Limón Province in Costa Rica; Bras d’Eau in Mauritius; Northern Palawan in the Philippines; and Chocó-Andino in Ecuador.
