Plannin a 5D4N trip to Vietnam for 2 in March. Wat r the must-do/see/get?

Question

We're into sightseeing of the local cultures/lives such as how locals live in their city/ tribes villages and sceneries of their padi fields/floating markets. Basically, we want to see Viets' way of living. Also, any Halal (Muslim) food avail? Touristy stuff would be Halong Bay & other recommendations we need.

Answer 1

no muslim food in vietnam...

Answer 2

You can go to Delta Mekong. There are many float markets in Can Tho, Dong thap, An Giang. But these areas are far away from Halong Bay. I know one muslim village where close to Chau Doc, AnGiang. I don't think they sell food there.

Have a good trip.

Answer 3

thats realy a short time; 1st if you want to know vn culture, be up and out on the street at 4:30 am! thats when you will see the real vn..[ you can go back to bed later ]. if you are landing in sai gon. take a day train to nha trang, you can get a good overview of the country like that. in nha trang find a good moto bike driver [ easy to do ;go to "nguyen thien thuat" street across from the dong phuong hotel you'll find good drivers having coffee there] have the driver take you to local countryside and maybe a "city tour"

  if you land in ha noi stay around ha noi, maybe an overnight to "mai chau valley" or a day trip to the "pink/ purple pagoda"... that should be in full swing in march..

   you real need more time.. but get up early! thats a must wherever you are...and dont be afraid to walk the tiny back alleys and smaller markets....

          muslim food??? i dont know what that is.. there is a muslim temple in sai gon near the "cho lon"district...

  oh yeah , be carefull eating" street food".. you dont have time to be getting sick....
