5 travel inspirations for Tet 2022 in Vietnam

Staycation in Ho Chi Minh City

InterContinental Residences Saigon, Sheraton Saigon and Renaissance Riverside Saigon are offering staycation packages with room prices starting from $155 a night, in which guests can enjoy a private gym, swimming pool and other luxury entertainment services.

HCMC is now a green zone, deemed at low Covid risk, with a series of tourism and cultural activities run during Tet like the Nguyen Hue flower street, spring flower market at Binh Dong Wharf in District 8 and a lion dance for luck in the Chinatown.

 

Glamping in Da Lat

Glamping, a luxury version of camping that includes facilities and accommodation far more comfortable than traditional camping – has become a growing trend among tourists and Da Lat in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong, famous for green pine forests and fresh air, is an ideal destination.

Twin Beans Farm, CampArt, Dala Waterfall Camping and Dalat Camp that are isolated from crowded residential areas and surrounded by pine forests with peaceful natural landscapes should be added to your itineraries if you plan to visit Da Lat during Tet.

Da Lat currently requires no quarantine for domestic tourists except for those arriving from red zones (very high Covid risk areas) who need to furnish negative Covid results from tests done 72 hours before arrival.

 

Rustic homestays in Moc Chau

Moc Chau, a popular highlands town in the northern Son La Province, is also an ideal choice to enjoy the holiday break as the town is now painted the white color of plum trees. In Mu Nau and Na Ka valleys, plum blossoms are in full bloom.

However, visitors should keep in mind that the road to Moc Chau is narrow and steep, you should book a motorbike taxi service with prices of VND120,000 per round trip.

There are many beautiful rustic homestays to choose from like Bo House, Nha Ta, The November, Hillside House, and Mama’s House. To stay overnight in Moc Chau, visitors need to furnish a negative Covid test result done within 72 hours.

Homestay services cost from VND700,000 a night while budget hotels cost about VND200,000 a night.

 

Ethnic treats in Ha Giang

Spring blankets the northern Ha Giang Province’s mountain paths with the light pink of peach blossoms and the vibrant yellow of cabbage flowers. Spring is the most ideal time of the year to visit Dong Van Town as peach and plum trees are in full bloom.

There are many homestay facilities and resorts in Ha Giang, especially in Dong Van and Meo Vac districts such as H'mong Village, P'apiu, Hoang Su Phi Lodge, Lo lo Ancient homestay with room prices ranging from VND300,000-2.4 million a night.

In the spring, visitors can see H’mong locals in traditional costumes gather to drink corn wine and join them to enjoy unique dishes only be found in Ha Giang.

Ha Giang allows visitors from orange or red zones but requires them to be fully vaccinated or have recovered from Covid and furnish a negative test result.

 

Slow life at Phong Nha-Ke Bang

Only about 20 kilometers from Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Chay Lap Farmstay is a very convenient base from which to explore. The bungalows here are surrounded by green trees and located far from busy residential areas suitable for those escaping the crowds over Covid fears.

In addition to bungalows for you to enjoy the slow life, Chay Lap Farmstay also has rooms for families. The facility has a swimming pool, a large veranda for people to gather or have a barbecue.

Staying here, both adults and children have the opportunity to participate in different experiences such as camping, boating, river cruises or cycling to explore countryside villages, or trekking the cave system in the national park.

Quang Binh also requires no quarantine for fully vaccinated domestic tourists.
