According to the magazine, cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City draw tons of tourists every year, but Vietnam is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who simply enjoys a beautiful landscape.

It noted that Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh is beloved for its blue waters and vast stretches of limestone islands covered with tropical trees and home to diverse wildlife.

On the southern coast, the magazine wrote, Ninh Van Bay in Khanh Hoa province offers excellent snorkeling and diving.

The list also includes China, Australia, Brazil, India, the US, Canada, Mexico, Colombia, France, Indonesia, Japan, South Africa, Tanzania, Peru, Argentina, Costa Rica, New Zealand, Bolivia, the UK, Croatia, Iceland, Namibia, and Greece.
