Hanoi - The poetry of autumn
Each season in Hanoi has its own unique beauty. However, perhaps autumn is the time that makes people's hearts captivate and sob the most. This is a perfect time to indulge in the typical delicacies that are only made in Hanoi’s autumn such as young sticky rice (com) and ripe dracontomelon (sau chin).
Visitors can easily walk around and experience the street vendors bringing Hanoi's autumn vibe, such as those selling heather chrysanthemum or daisy. Or by taking a walk through the Old Quarter, where you will encounter French colonial buildings, serene lakes, and bustling markets. All of them create an unique autumn scene that can only be found in Hanoi.
Ha Long Bay - A masterpiece of nature
Located about a 1,5 hours drive from Hanoi, Halong Bay is an unmissable destination when traveling to Northern Vietnam. The masterpiece of nature Halong Bay not only owns thousands of rock islands and majestic caverns, but it also preserves precious cultural and historical values.
The seasonal change from summer to autumn is the ideal time to visit the bay, when the cool weather and fresh air make it more comfortable to travel. Travelers can choose to go on a cruise to admire the beauty of the bay, visit famous destinations such as the Sung Sot Cave and Titop Beach.
Kim Boi - Exploring Muong culture
Unlike autumn in Hanoi with fragrant milk flowers and young green rice, autumn in Kim Boi (Hoa Binh province) brings a nostalgic feeling with its vibrant Northwest colors, where tourists can enjoy pristine nature and Muong people’s traditional dishes.
Each season has its own beauty, but autumn is believed to be one of the most beautiful seasons in Kim Boi, allowing visitors to enjoy the gentle autumn sunlight shining through the majestic limestone mountains, or just by taking a breath, the fresh autumn air fills the whole chest.
Go hunting clouds in Sa Pa
For those who love adventure and cultural exploration, Sa Pa in Lao Cai province, about 5-hours drive far from Hanoi, is an unmissable destination.
"Golden season", "rice ripening season", and "cloud season" are endearing names for the autumn - the most beautiful time of the year in Sa Pa when the rice ripens on the terraced fields, resembling cascading waterfalls from the high mountains.
At the end of autumn and beginning of winter, Sa Pa is commonly immersed in the cloud sea, creating a surreal and otherworldly scene on the peak of Fansipan. This is called cloud-hunting season, a popular activity among photographers and nature enthusiasts./.
