Serene Halong Bay
The new natural wonder of the world offers a whole new
experience in autumn. The bay’s islands hide many beautiful
cave systems, such as Surprise Cave or Heavenly Cave. The
best way to see the bay is an overnight cruise. In the day, the
cruise will glide through the smooth seas and you will be tak-
en to fabulous caves or to some fishing villages to discover
the daily life of local people. Visiting Halong by moonlight,
you can feel the miracle of nature. The water surface sparkles
as if it was inlaid with crystals. Lying on the sundeck and gaz-
ing at the moon while enjoying the tranquility of the autumn
night in the bay is a memorable experience.
The Emerald Island -
Phu Quoc
To escape the hustle and bustle of urban life, the Emer-
ald Island of Phu Quoc is a wonderful hideaway in autumn.
When other coastal destinations deter tourists due to rain and
storms, Phu Quoc offers up peaceful seas and beautiful, sunny
days in October. However, the island is not crowded with
tourists during this season.
You can relax in the sunshine on the tranquil beaches and
enjoy an array of local specialties such as fresh seafood, fruits
and fish sauce.
In autumn, the forest is filled with yellow leaves. You can
go trekking along small paths through the forest or head off-
shore and dive among stunning coral reef in the turquoise sea.
Walking along the beach with your bare feet on the
smooth, white sand is also a memorable experience on the
Emerald Island. With its pristine, romantic and poetic nature,
Phu Quoc promises to bring you a perfect autumn vacation.
Dalat - the flower city
Dalat is known as the city of flowers and it has been a
wonderful destination of honeymooners for years. The city
is home to lovely French villas, fresh air, beautiful waterfalls
and gorgeous lakes in a lush, green valley. The valleys are
covered by mist all year round; however, enjoying autumn in
this flower city is a particularly fantastic experience.
Hidden among pine forests, Dalat seems like it could be
found only in a fairy tale. All around the city, flowers adorn
the pavements and the mornings arrive with a light coating
of dew.
Apart from wandering around the city and visiting famous
attractions, you can go to Dalat night market, which displays
a variety of different goods and you can taste an array of local
specialties – don’t miss the warm dishes sat over the burning
heaters. In addition, you can walk along peaceful and clean
paths with only the sound of the wind among the pines.
