Ditching the cliched honeymoon destinations, Shuaib and Maseera had the time of their lives in the stunning and culture-rich land of Vietnam in July. They explored the country like a local and experienced all that it has to offer within their budget. Scroll down to find out how Vietnam turned their ordinary vacation into an extraordinary journey!<\/em><\/p>\n

Vietnam has been on my bucket list for a long time. We chose it because it has still managed to retain its old-world culture and is tourist friendly at the same time. Besides, we did not want to do a conventional Bali or Thailand honeymoon and Vietnam fit right into our budget as well as the number of days we were willing to spend.<\/p>\n

With TravelTriangle\u2019s help we were able to book a customised Vietnam honeymoon tour the way we wanted. And needless to say, we had a fantastic experience on our vacation!<\/p>\n

Weather In Vietnam In July<\/h2>\n

We went there in the first week of July in the peak rainy season so it was understandably wet. You must carry shoe covers as well as rain protective gear if you are planning to visit Vietnam in the rainy season. The average temperature in Vietnam during this time is about 30\u00b0C and rather pleasant for exploring this destination.<\/p>\n

Best Places We Visited On Our Honeymoon In Vietnam<\/h2>\n

We enjoyed every bit of this beautiful country, but the experiences we had in the places listed below were our absolute favorite! Make sure you add them to your list when you decide to visit Vietnam.<\/p>\n

This is a charming market area in Vietnam and we loved shopping here. We bought Vietnamese trinkets, fridge magnets, dresses, tee shirts, and a lot more from this market. I even bought a traditional Don La (conical hat) along with beautiful lanterns and artwork at affordable rates. Other than being a hub for buying great Vietnamese goods and handicrafts, this market is an attraction in itself, especially when it is all lit up at night!<\/p>\n

This is the quirkiest and the most unusual bridge we have ever visited. The C\u1ea7u V\u00e0ng is perched in two gigantic rock hands and has joined the list of the most romantic places to visit in Vietnam<\/a> only last year. Offering peace, soothing weather, and splendid views of the surrounding green hills as well as the Da Nang City, it\u2019s a great place to explore in Vietnam with your beloved.<\/p>\n

Other than this giant bridge, we also saw the Vong Nguyet Hills, Linh Ung Pagoda, Nui Chua Mountain, Le Nim Villas, the Orchid Garden, and the Le Jardin D\u2019amour flower garden on the way to the top.<\/p>\n

Old Quarter In Hanoi<\/h3>\n

The Old Quarter in Hanoi is an excellent place to hang out for those who wish to explore the local vibe and lifestyle of Vietnam. There are plenty of Buddhist shrines, local markets, street-side galleries selling traditional Vietnamese art, and some of Hanoi\u2019s famous attractions in this place like the Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, Hoan Kiem Lake, and Maison Centrale Hanoi Prison.<\/p>\n

We just roamed around in this enormous avenue brimming with energy and treated ourselves to some delicious Vietnamese street food like Banh Minh (Vietnamese sandwiches) to a range of delectable non-vegetarian items. We also ate at NYC Pizza where pizza is served by the slice and is utterly delicious! We tried the famous Egg Coffee and Coconut Coffee as well and instantly fell in love with it!<\/p>\n

This was one of the most peaceful places we visited in Vietnam. The Tran Quoc Pagoda is the oldest of its kind in Hanoi and is its most beautiful attraction. It is believed that it dates back to the 6th century and has undergone numerous changes throughout the years. It is set in the middle of a stunning islet in Hanoi called the West Lake and is surrounded by lush greenery. Other than appreciating the awesome Vietnamese architecture of this shrine, we also saw here a unique incense burning house and a museum dedicated to historic relics. We were totally smitten by the intricately carved statues here, each of which were sculpted way back in 1639.<\/p>\n

Train Street<\/h3>\n

\"fascinating<\/div>\n

This was probably the most unique and exciting part of Hanoi! We were thrilled to see this part of Old Quarter which is essentially a long narrow street with a railway track running through it. But what\u2019s more fascinating is that this train track is operational! You\u2019ll see a train pass through this street twice everyday at around 3 PM and then at 7 PM, and it\u2019ll be mere inches away from the homes of this residential neighborhood.<\/p>\n

In fact, much of the everyday rituals and chores of the people living in this street are timed in accordance with the train schedule, so that they can clear the street right before a train is to pass through. It\u2019s a must-visit place in Hanoi!<\/p>\n

Ha Long Bay<\/h3>\n

Kayaking over the emerald waters and through the towering limestone islands of northeastern Vietnam was the most romantic experience of our honeymoon trip to Vietnam. In fact, Ha Long Bay is an unmissable part of any Vietnam tour. For one, it is unbelievably beautiful and utterly peaceful. You and your partner can take a kayak and explore these waters and the unique islets around all by yourself.<\/p>\n

Other than this, you can also go boating and indulge in plenty of other watersports like scuba diving here. You can even visit some of the famous islets here like the Stone Dog and Teapot. Those who don\u2019t wish to tread into the water can go hiking and rock climbing in the surreal mountainous rainforests of C\u00e1t B\u00e0 National Park.<\/p>\n

Our Accommodation In Vietnam<\/h2>\n

We stayed at the Venus Hotel and Spa in Hoi An which turned out to be an amazing property. They had a lovely pool and a lavish breakfast buffet spread. It was a cosy well maintained boutique hotel with ever-smiling and courteous staff. In Hanoi we stayed at La Suite hotel which is right in the middle of the bustling Old Quarter neighborhood where most tourists and backpackers stay. The room was rather cramped as compared to the previous one but it was decent enough and we managed since we were anyway out exploring Hanoi most of the time.<\/p>\n

Food In Vietnam<\/h2>\n

We ate a ton of street food in Vietnam<\/a>. If you\u2019re a non-vegetarian, you must not miss the street food of Hanoi which is a paradise for street food lovers. Though we weren\u2019t very adventurous when it came to trying food, we ate a lot of Banh Minh (Vietnamese sandwich), Pho and drank lots of coffee. The Egg Coffee at Caf\u00e9 Guong is a must try. Cong Caphe is a chain of coffee shops around Hanoi with a delightful range of flavoured coffee, like the famous Vietnamese coconut coffee. We even got some as souvenirs for our friends and family back home. We also tried the delicious NYC pizza which serves pizza by the slice and located in the heart of Old Quarter. There are plenty of Indian restaurants in Vietnam, and many of them are in Hanoi itself. Hanoi has two popular Indian restaurants Little India and Tandoor. They are both inexpensive and the food is absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n

Our Shopping Experience In Vietnam<\/h2>\n

We bought trinkets, fridge magnets, a couple of dresses, and a tee shirt. A traditional Don La (conical hat) is a must buy in Vietnam. Hoi An has a night market from which you can pick beautiful lanterns and artwork at pretty reasonable rates. Hoi An also has a custom of making tailored dresses in a day. You can pick out your fabric from the same shop and they stitch and give it to you the next day, something which we got to know later and missed out on! You should also check out the charming night market in Hanoi when you\u2019re vacationing in Vietnam in July.<\/p>\n

Locals And Hospitality In Vietnam<\/h2>\n

The locals are extremely friendly and welcoming to tourists. Since the language can be a problem as most Vietnamese people speak very little English, it is advisable to learn a few Vietnamese words. Luckily, we had an excellent English speaking tour guide for our day trips and we could get by in the city with some broken English.<\/p>\n

How To Reach Vietnam From India<\/h2>\n

You won\u2019t really find a direct flight to Vietnam from India. From Chennai, we took a flight to Danang via Bangkok, which had a 5 hour layover at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Our return flight was via Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
