Vnn/Hanoitimes 10:56, 2014/12/03
Renowned US business magazine Forbes has named Vietnam as top 10 coolest places to visit in 2015 thanks to its attractive tours including hydro-plane service between Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, and Saigon Vespa tour.

“From sleepy fishing villages to the rooftop discos of Saigon, age-old tradition meets cosmopolitan modernity in today’s Vietnam”, said the magazine.

“A recently launched seaplane experience over Ha Long Bay, which lets visitors take in the bay’s otherworldly limestone cliffs from a new perspective—that doesn’t require two days on a dodgy boat—and the brand-new Amanoi, Aman’s latest enclave of Aman-ness, on the dramatic cliffs of Nui Chua National Park on the country’s south central coast.”

“Absolute’s trips may also include a nightlife tour of Saigon by Vespa and an opportunity to talk with a Vietnam War veteran”, Forbes stressed.

Other ideal countries in the list include Iceland, Morocco, Montana (the US), Tasmania, Colombia, Japan, Patagonia (Chile), Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
