Perched on the south china sea, this country has a wide range of enticing spots from beaches, mountains to Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities.

Also, Vietnam has one of the world’s most mindblowing sea views with karst seascape which are sheer limestone pillars jutting out 50-100 metres above the sea and concentrated in the Halong Bay. These Limestone pillar islands, with cliffs overlooking the emerald green water of the bay, makes this destination top our list.
