Welcoming autumn in 3 regions of Vietnam

"HUNTING" FOR THE YELLOW RICE PADDIES AND BUCKWHEAT FLOWERS IN THE NORTH

The time from the end of August to the beginning of September is known as the "golden season" by tourists. The weather is beautiful and sunny, and the rice season has just begun.

In autumn, all over the highlands of the Northwest are covered with terraced fields. Soon they will be ready to be harvested, gradually changing from green to a golden color, creating a majestic and poetic scene. In particular, Sa Pa, Y Ty, Mu Cang Chai, and Hoang Su Phi were recognized by travelers as the ideal places to witness the ripening season in the Northwest.

After taking a walk among the beautiful gold-covered area, don't forget to enjoy the special delicacies of the mountains such as thắng cố, phở chua, sturgeon, smoked meat, Vietnamese apple wine, or Lao Cai nuggets.

In October, the highland landscape seems to change clothes. Everything changes from golden to dreamy purple. It is the colour of millions of buckwheat flowers blooming all over Ha Giang. The two spots under the Lung Cu flagpole and at the foot of Ma Pi Leng pass are the ideal stops to capture this beautiful sight.

THE NOSTALGIC FEELINGS OF THE CENTRAL AUTUMN

In the autumn of the Central region, there are the lasting rains and a sense of quiet, peace, and nostalgia. Holding a warm cup of coffee in your hand while watching the rain slowly fall on the porch of an ancient house in Hoi An, you will feel the gentle, delicate, and peaceful atmosphere of the area.

You can also visit Hue to learn about the ancient capital’s thousands of years of dedication through each stone carved on the moss-covered wall. Autumn in Hue also means clear afternoons, welcoming tourists to come and watch the sunset on the banks of the Huong river. In the distance, you can hear the bell of Thien Mu pagoda ringing, all together creating a gentle symphony, a poetic and unforgettable memory.

If you come to Hue - Hoi An, don’t hesitate to visit Da Nang. Da Nang in autumn has cool and clear weather and is ideal for tourists to visit and enjoy hundreds of thousands of delicious delicacies.

AUTUMN-THE STUNNING FLOATING WATER SEASON IN THE SOUTH

From mid-August to November every year, life in the Southwest becomes much more lively after receiving water from the Mekong River. At this time, hundreds of thousands of square fields are covered with water, and people will start harvesting fish, shrimp, and other agricultural products. This is also the time when tourists from all over the world flock to discover and experience the pristine but very intimate river life of the "nine dragons" (Cuu Long).

At this time, the Dong Thap Muoi and An Giang areas were the two most crowded areas. You can have the pleasure of rowing to pick eggplant fruit, peppers, or hunt eel that you can grill right on the field afterward.
