Hanoi 36 old quarters is the home of multiple traditional and ancient streets of Vietnam. Here, not only the architecture but also the distinguishing features are preserved. Some tourists would say they prefer to walk and enjoy everything in the old quarters of Hanoi. However, this attraction seems to be too large for them to walk and discover simultaneously.

But the cyclo driver will be the best tour guide that you need, as they have them on a little leash.

4. Trekking & Hiking adventure for sightseeing tour: Catching the marvellous moment of nature

Trekking and Hiking tour has become the common discovering activities for those who are the fans of adventure. Natural landscapes have so far attracted their legs, their souls and even their desire to travel. Let’s check out some of the worth-trying places for hiking and trekking!

a. Sapa – the city of heaven

Sapa is an extremely ideal destination of the adventurers because of its breathtaking scenery. It is the highland region belonging to Lao Cai province. “In the clouds” is the phrase that can describe the beauty of Sapa in an outstanding way, because it gives the feeling of fresh, comfortable and relaxing.

The Sapa Trekking journey starts by approaching Cat Cat village, the home of some of the ethnic minorities such as Thai, H-mong, and Hoa. Don’t forget to try the traditional costumes of those peoples, as it would perfectly match with the atmosphere and give you the best photoshoot ever. Then, if possible, you can decide to hire a motorbike to reach Thac Bac Waterfall and Love waterfall.

The most impressive thing that you must never forget to do is to reach Fansipan – the so-called “rooftop of Indochina”. Conquering Fansipan used to be the dream of many explorers.

Nowadays, the exploration becomes much easier as tourists can choose to go either by cable car or by their own scheduled path.  Standing at the highest point of the three countries, you’re absolutely happy with what you’ve done. Let’s throw your eyes down to the surrounding areas, far to the other provinces, and admiring the clouds sluggishly floating through the slopes.

Sapa is here waiting for your exploration!

b. Puluong – the emerging paradise in the north of Vietnam

If Sapa is known as the rooftop of Indochina, Puluong is the place that can bring you the vibe of countryside lifestyle in Vietnam in particular and in Indochina in general. Puluong is located up to the northeast of Thanh Hoa province. It stands for outstanding beauty, the mixture of culture and diverse biodiversity spreading from Mai Chau to Cuc Phuong National Park.

Trekking Puluong would be a meaningful memory during your discovery journey if you intend to go within summer. This is the right perfect time to admire the shining moment of rice terraced fields. They show out the amazing picturesque combination: the green colour of the growing period together with the yellow colour of harvesting crops.

Moreover, Pu Luong Nature Reserve also offers the stunning panorama of a village, challenging the explorers from easy to moderate trekking. You can visit the bat cave at Kho Muong, raft on Ma river, camp on Pu Luong mountain and pleasant life in Thai villages.

It is better to discover Pu Luong by a bicycle journey. After going through the beautiful Mai Chau, the tour guide will reveal the most adventurous but interesting route for their tourists.

Together with Sapa, Pu Luong is also an ideal destination!

c. Elephant trekking through the Angkor Wat Complex

Ways to Angkor Wat has never been so hazardous with elephant trekking tour!

It is really essential that you decide how to explore Angkor Wat, whether in the normal way that everyone usually does or in an abnormal way but you will remember during the rest of your life. Discovering Angkor Wat on the back of an elephant will make you feel the feeling of wideness, a bit scary and challenging yourself.

You should arrange in advance if you choose to book a Cambodia sightseeing tour package, as there are some travel agencies which do not include this adventurous experience in their package.

Together with cars, buses, and tuk-tuk, elephant trekking has joint a part of their journey. Starting from Bayon Temple, the riders will take you to The Terrace of Elephants, where you can stop and take a brief second of contemplation. Then there comes Angkor Thom – the long-lasting ancient capital of Cambodia. This is another break time to enjoy sightseeing around this architectural construction.

Should you approach the highest places of Angkor Wat in the late afternoon, you will definitely catch the breaking moment when the sun is gradually laying down to take a rest after a hard-working day. This is the perfect ending point of one-day discovery tour.

Apart from elephant trekking tour, you can also allow yourself to visit other surrounding places such as Tonle Sap Lake, Kompong Phluk floating village.

If you are interested in this kind of exploration, do not hesitate to let us be your consultant!

You will be given a certain amount of time to explore the bustling atmosphere of floating local market and orchard gardens as well. As the ‘children’ of water-based life, the residents here are always the ambassadors to engage the tourist into their daily activities. It will take you from four to five hours to get around this crowded place.

The next destination is Chau Doc. It lies in the territory of An Giang province. It is interesting that if you head up to Sam Mountain to admire the great sunset scenery, you can also take a bird-eye view over the rice fields, which belongs to Cambodia, as Chau Doc is situated right next to Cambodian border.

Turning the steering wheel into another country, you’ll immediately catch Phnom Penh – the capital of Cambodia. There, just enjoy a luxurious breakfast and prepare well before continuing the sightseeing tour. Up arrival at Phnom Penh, you will be taken to some of the famous tourist attractions such as the lavish Royal Palace, the huge National Museum, where there are a lot of remains of Khmer sculptures and Angkorian artifacts, Wat Phnom, the Choeung Ek Memorial, and the Russian Market. Try to record every moment of the sightseeing itinerary so that when you come back, you will memorize what happened with you during your sightseeing trip.

Temples and ruins – these are the unique features that only remain in the next stop – Angkor Wat. You will be able to learn a lot about the Khmer’s culture and history, as all of the architecture is originated from all of the spiritual heart of the Cambodian. Preservation and restoration plans are keeping the pristine beauty of this archaeological site. Therefore, running an exploration from temple to temple would help you to both satisfy your eyes and broaden your knowledge. Don’t forget to go with your companion, a tour guide.

Lastly, let’s visit the watery heart of rural Cambodia – Tonle Sap Lake. This so-called ‘tiny inland sea’ is filled up with a bunch of traditional floating villages, many of which are influenced by the ethnic Vietnamese culture. On the way sailing the boat to visit the surrounding floating houses, you will see that somewhere appears a small boy jumping on board with a box of candy and cans of soda in his hand and selling with a reasonable price. He and also other residents are the representative of difficult life but still reserve their optimism. Let your sightseeing journey explores the rest of the specialities in this peaceful place.

Before the transnational sightseeing tour, there are a lot of things that you have to make plans. So why not design your own tour right now?

6. An eight-day sightseeing tour – going through the two countries

If Vietnam is famous for the complex of bustling atmosphere and majestic nature, Cambodia attracts the tourists by its religious and distinguish beauty, emerging from the ancient architecture and design.

As suggested by Lux Travel DMC, it is a completely perfect itinerary for you and your companions to plan yourself a trip to discover the two nations. Here are the recommended plans that I, together with my family have experienced before.

a. Day 1,2: Da Nang – bustling cities with pleasant life path

Da Nang is originally well-known as one of the worthiest city to live once in a lifetime. Choosing Da Nang as the place to kick off our family journey has never been our regrettable decision. We visited this tourist attraction on a random day in June, which is the perfect time for relaxation and enjoyment.

After checking-in procedure at Sheraton Grand Danang Resort for a two-day-one-night room package, we started our discovery. First, following the tour guide’s step, we visited Linh Ung Pagoda. This is considered one of the largest religious achievements of Vietnam in terms of the area and architecture.

We had taken some of the recommendations of what to do here for reference. It was over our expectation. As soon as crossing the threshold of Linh Ung pagoda, it made us feel as if we were entering a fairytale with the immortals only. There came marvelous and breathtaking statues of 18 Arhats, each of whom represents discrepant emotions of human beings. We ended the first afternoon by admiring the fantastic sunset view site on the beach nearby.

Danang night tour was our second exploration here. Not until we came back from the Han market – one of the must-try destinations here – did we really started taking a view towards the sparkling and bustling city. All the street lamps were immediately turned on, which made the city look like it was shining to praise itself on a higher position. We drove through famous streets along My Khe Beach like Bach Dang, Vo Nguyen Giap. We were continuously gazing at the gorgeous bridge spanning the Han river. This is the first time in my life I had to scream out loud: “Oh my god, what a perfectly beautiful scenery that I’ve ever experienced!”

On the second day, we chose the Marble Mountains as our next destination. This attraction really caught visitors’ attention as it is so-called the “Landscape of Southern Sky”. Not only did us have a chance to catch every single moment of this beautiful scenery, but we could also understand more deeply about the meaning of five surrounding mountains here, which names after five elements of the galaxy: Metal – Wood – Water – Fire – Earth.

b. Day 3,4: Phu Quoc – the pristine destination to discover

After arranging flight tickets to leave Da Nang, we continue our holidays by paying a visit to Phu Quoc. This so-called pearl island is situated in Kien Giang province, inherently representing for one of the most gorgeous islands Vietnam.

Coming to Phu Quoc, you can make a plan of where to go, what to eat and where to stay. Firstly, we booked a luxury room package at the Marriott hotel. The reason simply is it’s near all of the famous destinations that we desired to go. We book a one-day taxi with a reasonable price, then show our itinerary for the taxi driver. We explored the vibrant everyday scenery of this pristine island in Ham Ninh fishing village. We admired the natural but shining beauty of the ocean from the view of Ho Quoc pagoda. We enjoyed the sunset at Sunset Sanato, one of the places owning the best sea view within Phu Quoc.

We spent our whole evening to discover the bustling atmosphere of Duong Dong night market. Here, a variety of seafood and Vietnam traditional cuisine are sold. Don’t hesitate to try those pieces of food specialities as it will make you remember Phu Quoc in your mind forever.

c. Day 5: Battambang – the river-based city

Here comes Battambang – the city located right on the Sanker river, so it is usually nicknamed as “The river-based cities”. If you have never experienced the rural life, this chance will be perfect to be put into your Vietnam Cambodia sightseeing tour.

My family and I rented the bikes and set off to explore this place. Phnom Sampeau Killing Caves was our first intention to go and we actually did it. There were numerous ancient temples and Buddhist architecture in this place that we should never miss to discover. I thought this was the perfect stop-point for all of my family to refill the energy for the next exploration. There is no beach, no bustling atmosphere, no majestic landscape. But there are peaceful sceneries, beautiful lifestyle and worth-trying customs still remaining in Battambang.

d. Day 6,7: Siem Reap – admiring the religious architecture

I guess no one can deny the fame of Siem Reap. This popular stop is the harmony of historical stories and the wonderful natural landscape. We really got a good taste of the real Siem Reap after spending the rest two days here.

First came the Angkor Wat. We woke up and got to Angkor Wat in the early morning. Many people have praised the magical fairness of the sunrise scenery up to the top point of Angkor Wat. It’s magic. It’s absolutely magic. Never in my life did I witness such a fabulous moment like this. The sun is rising, gradually shining every corner of Angkor Wat, creating the glorious colour for this landscape. Try and you will see what I’m telling is upon your expectations!

After discovering the religious features of Angkor Wat, we turned our way to Tonle Sap Lake. This famous stop is one of the world’s most incredible natural wonders. Kayaking this immense lake and exploring the life of the villagers was indeed an interesting sightseeing activity for us. We saw floating houses, floating schools, floating boats and even floating markets. Everything was gathered together to create a perfect environment for the residents here. In spite of the poverty, the smiles never seem to disappear on their faces

If you intend to try some Vietnam tour activities as well as visiting several Cambodia sightseeing attractions, don’t hesitate to place your own package.

Hoi An Riverside is mainly the significance of this Vietnam tourist spot.

You can choose to take either an eight-kilometre route trekking around the place, or a partial trekking way (with the help of the trail to go through the park). There, you will witness a breathtaking picture of Cambodia jungle with exotic plants and animals. Standing on the highest mountain of Kep National Park, you can easily take a view of the whole countryside region of Cambodia, and admire the sunset view from the Sunset Rock.

Before the journey, try to bring as much mineral with you as possible, because the trip will make you exhausted. Also, wear decent shoes and bring provisory clothes in case you get wet.

10. Visit archaeological sites at Koh Ker

Situated approximately 120 from Siem Reap, Koh Ker stands as one of Cambodia’s special archaeological constructions of the Khmer people.

Sam Osmanagich, one of the explorers to Koh Ker commented: “After I saw many temples, I arrived at the conclusion that the Koh Ker pyramid is the only true pyramid on Cambodian land. It seems that it has nothing in common with the other pyramidal temples, largely decorated with Hindu symbols.” This temple gives not only him but also other visitors a unique sensation of the architecture. Here, the architect carefully designed the structure, water surfaces, and water channels in an appropriate way, so that the whole pyramid could balance itself even in the worst weather condition.

Therefore, you must come here once in your lifetime to reveal all of the mystery in this outstanding construction.
