Hanoi among best places to visit in March.
Climate-wise, March is one of the best months to visit Southeast Asia, and Vietnam is no exception. In Hanoi, you could spend days roaming the energetic and mazelike Old Quarter, brimming with street vendors, open-air eateries, and whizzing motorbikes.
Hoan Kiem Lake provides a peaceful respite from the frenzy, as do the numerous Buddhist temples and pagodas. When you need a break from the city, stunning views of the rock formations of Ha Long Bay and the verdant rice terraces of Sa Pa are only short trips away, advised the article’s author.
The number of international tourists to the capital was estimated to rise by 30% to 125,000 people during the week-long Tet (Lunar New Year) festival, according to the Hanoi Department of Tourism.
Most foreign visitors came from China, South Korea, Japan, the US, France, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The figure brought the total number of visitors to Hanoi during the Lunar New Year holidays (February 14 - 20) to nearly 375,000, an increase of 13% over the same period last year. The figure included 250,000 domestic travellers, up 6% year-on-year. The local tourism industry estimated to earn more than VND1.28 trillion (US$56.5 million ) during the biggest holiday of the year, up 19% year-on-year.
The Vietnamese capital has welcomed 5 million foreign tourists in 2017, up 23% against the previous year, surpassing the set target of 15%. Hanoi expects to welcome 5.5 million foreigners among the more than 25.4 million tourists in 2018, according to director-general of Hanoi Department of Tourism, Tran Duc Hai.
