A Memorable Journey through Vietnam
We had on a memorable 10-day journey to Vietnam. Having booked in advance, we arrived just a day before Typhoon Yagi was set to make landfall in Hanoi. On our first day, we were warmly welcomed at the hotel by locals dressed in traditional áo dài, conical hats, and wooden puppets, which added a charming cultural touch. The morning visit to the incense village was smooth, blessed with sunshine that made for some stunning photos. In the afternoon, a sudden downpour caught us at the Train Street, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the coffee and atmosphere despite the rain.
The next day, we made our way to Sapa, just as Typhoon Yagi began moving toward Vietnam’s coastline. Though we were over 400 kilometers from the coast, the rains still reached us. On our way back from Sapa, there was a landslide that temporarily blocked the road, but the local authorities swiftly cleared the way, allowing us to return to Hanoi without delay.
It was remarkable how, despite these challenges, our journey through Northern Vietnam remained smooth. The following day, we visited to Ninh Binh, and after that, we set sail on a cruise in Ha Long Bay. The southern destinations—Da Nang, Hoi An, Saigon, and the Mekong Delta—were unaffected by the storm. The weather was sunny, and everything ran smoothly as we continued our travels.
Vietnam is truly a place worth visiting, with its diverse and beautiful landscapes, unique local experiences, and warm-hearted people. A huge thanks to Eviva Tour Vietnam for arranging this trip and for being readily available to ensure our journey was safe and seamless. I’m beyond satisfied with the trip and highly recommend Eviva Tour Vietnam.
