VOV.VN -Rough Guides- a leading travel publisher of the UK has revealed top 10 most beautiful places in Vietnam voted by its readers. Ensure that you don’t miss discovering any of the highlights.

Hoi An- The centuries-old ancient town takes the lead thanks to its heady mix of wooden-fronted merchant houses, graceful bridges and ornate temples.

Sa Pa- According to Rough Guides, if the mist hasn’t rolled in, viewpoints take in green terraces and looming conical mountains, including Vietnam’s tallest peak-Mount Fan Si Pan.

Ha Long Bay- “When the sun rises over the still emerald waters and the bay’s scattered islands, islets and limestone pillars, the seascape is the most beautiful in the world – and even in the cooler off season the fog can add a touch of dreamy mysticism,” says the website.

Mekong Delta- Rough Guides readers love the region for lush maze of languid waterways, mangrove forests, and atmospheric floating markets

Ho Chi Minh City- The buzzing, cosmopolitan city of skyscrapers and French colonial architecture is sleek and sexy- That makes Ho Chi Minh City a popular choice.

Ha Giang province- The website noted that though the infrastructure is poor, more travellers are making the effort to visit this forgotten province of dramatic scenery and colourful minority villages.

Phu Quoc- The island is a classic deserted island getaway with its picture-perfect white-sand beaches and spectacular ocean sunsets.

Danang- The city is increasingly making it onto every traveller’s must-see list.

“ It’s particularly attractive after dark when the neon light spills across the Han River; on weekend nights the quirky Dragon Bridge is illuminated and, astonishingly, it breathes fire”, says Rough Guides.

Da Lat- the website chooses Da Lat as an ideal honeymoon destination in Vietnam thanks to cool and temperate climate, romantic Ho Xuan Huong Lake, and French Colonial-era villas.
