Vietnam Lakes
Each lake in Vietnam has its own romantic appeal and offers a natural oasis in even the biggest cities. Take a stroll around the urban lakes of Hoan Kiem and Tay Ho in Hanoi and experience a calm away from the busy streets. This is where young couples come for sunset dates!
Lakes in more remote locations like Ba Be National Park, Cat Tien National Park, and Ninh Binh are set amongst wild hills and jungle. Head out on the water in a boat or kayak and enjoy the views. Nearby, you'll also find caves, waterfalls, and rivers to explore.
The best places to visit in Vietnam Lakes
Ninh Binh
Referred to as the “Halong Bay of the Land,” Ninh Binh is known for its striking karst formations. Go on a boat ride here to see a surreal and very lush landscape.
Dong Nai
To the east of Ho Chi Minh City, the Dong Nai Province encompasses the Cat Tien National Park. Travelers come here to take incredible, scenic hikes and see some of Vietnam’s endangered wildlife. Although just a short distance outside of Ho Chi Minh City, it feels a universe away from its steamy streets filled with city scooters.
