Where to go in Vietnam each month part 1

9. September: Hanoi – “Com” season

Hanoi, Vietnam

Hanoi has always been on top of the bucket list when travelling to Vietnam. However, in September, this can be the highlight of your travel. Visiting Hanoi by the beginning of September, tourists not only can enjoy the scent of alstonia (a very typical flower for fall in Hanoi) but also can have a chance to try “com”, one of the most favorite gifts during this season. “Com” is green rice flakes or grilled rice made from unripe sticky rice. Though “com” can be found in many places even vendors in Hanoi, Vong village is still famous for the legend and tradition of “com” making.

Green sticky rice or “cốm” in the tenderness of Hanoi’s autumn.

10. October: Phu Quoc – Sunshine paradise

Located in the southern province of Kien Giang, Phu Quoc Island is a large tropical island off the coast of Vietnam. Attracting millions of tourists all year around, October is the most suitable month to visit this gem island as in this time of the year, Phu Quoc receives the most suitable and comfortable amount of sunshine. For those who love the white sandy beaches with long green rows of coconut trees, this place is a must-visit. There’s nothing more wonderful than enjoying various water activities or simply chilling in the sun in such nice weather!

11. November: Ha Giang – Land of buckwheat flowers

In Ha Giang, these pink and white flowers paint such a serene picture of the mountain side – simple yet so beautiful. Modest but charming, buckwheat is harmonious with the green color of the forest and the grey color of the mountains which altogether creates an endless source of inspiration for art enthusiasts. But the most profound and beautiful feature of the flower is its meaning – slender in shape but full of energy and beauty, always overcoming the fierce challenges of nature. Every year, in November, a buckwheat flower festival, which features art performances and displays of buckwheat flower products (such as bouquets, cakes and other dishes, paintings and art, etc.) is held in order to celebrate the blossoming of these iconic flowers in Dong Van District in Ha Giang Province. This annual festival has been bewitching flower lovers, couples as well as photography enthusiasts year after year.

12. December: Sapa – Winter festival

Sapa has always been an attractive destination to any traveller to Vietnam. Especially in winter, when the temperature can reach under zero degree, it’s amazing time to climb the Mount Fansipan, “the Roof of Indochina”. Accordingly, many attractive activities will take place in the framework of Sa Pa Winter Festival annually, such as traditional music and dance performances; folk games; recreation of traditional wedding of Red Dao ethnic people; photo exhibition on SaPa’s snow; display of traditional ethnic costumes, local agricultural products and cuisine; especially, artificial snow space and reindeer sleigh ride model, etc. Sa Pa Winter Festival, which were held since 2016, aims to create new tourism product as well as bring the opportunity for visitors to experience Sa Pa’s winter.
