26 Stunning Pictures of Vietnam That Will Make You Want to Visit

June 19, 2021 by Claire Filed Under: Asia, Vietnam 22 Comments

My three month backpacking around Asia was one of the best trips of my life. I had gone travelling many times before this trip but this was the first time I got to experience a long trip. I had always been restricted to shorter trips thanks to being a full time employee with limited holiday days. This trip was taken after I handed in my notice and became self-employed which meant I could spend real time in a country for the first time.

Vietnam hadn’t originally been a planned stop on my Asia trip but a last minute decision saw me purchasing a ticket from Bangkok to Hanoi. I am so glad I ended up going because that part of the trip was incredible. I got to see and do so many amazing things. From partying on a boat in Halong Bay to staying at a luxurious Ecolodge in Sapa to getting to know the locals and understand more about their culture and lifestyles. 

Vietnam is such a beautiful country and I hope these 26 pictures convince you to visit this amazing country.

      I hope you make it out there one day. I was probably the same before and didn’t have Vietnam high on my list of places to go but I’m so glad I did as it became one of my favourite Asian countries

    This really did make me want to visit! Especially the view from the Ecolodge, the woman washing the buffalo, and the guy with the guitar. I love places where the towns are sewn into nature, rather than trampling over it like in bigger cities. The photos of people are great reassurance that folks are friendly too, I’d love to have a chat with the guitar guy!

    Your photos are wonderful and they would make me want to go if I hadn’t already toured through Vietnam. Actually, they do make me want to go back. I did not get to your viewpoint for all of Marble Mountain even though I visited it. And, learning to make rice paper was a special treat for me.

      It’s a great place for a road trip. Either a self organised one or a driven service. My hostel had a road trip option for travelling between the Hue and Hoi An hostel and it was just a great experience
