Once upon a recent time, Phu Quoc Island was voted The Cleanest and Most Beautiful Beach of the World and though it doesn’t hold that title anymore, it still lives up to its reputation as just that. And its status as a UNESCO national park ensures that it has kept its natural charm and remains mostly untouched. So what visitors will get are beautiful sunsets, evergreen forests, traditional villages, vast nature parks, Buddhist pagodas, and other interesting attractions.

In the An Giang province that borders Cambodia, lies a city that is colorful both literally and figuratively – Chau Doc. The pastel colors that are prominently painted on storefronts are a testament to the lives that the locals lead and make it more than just a stopover for tourists making their way to Phnom Penh.

If you want to experience big city life with small-town charms, Can Tho is most likely the destination you are looking for. This city is the fourth largest in Vietnam and despite its size, it retains its feature as the center of a rural area. The de facto capital of the Mekong Delta is a vibrant and bustling metropolis but outside the city limits is a setting of a tranquil river with peaceful canals, lush green rice paddies, and pastoral villages.
