We advise all surfers to visit this country, because the Vietnamese coast is simply created for this sport. The exotic village of Mui Ne is in particular demand among tourists from Russia and surfers.
If you decide to relax with your family, then the quiet island of Phu Quoc is more suitable, the main decorations of which are waterfalls, a pearl farm and a national park.
Do you like mountains? Then feel free to go to Dalat, which seems to be lost in the thick of tropical forests and looks very much like the French Alps. This vacation spot is popular with wealthy tourists. And the entertainment here is appropriate: golf, tennis, horse riding.
