The April 30th - May 1st holiday is an unmissable opportunity for trips, outdoor adventures, and vacations with friends and family. However, popular local attractions are often crowded, making it challenging to fully appreciate their beauty.
This article presents undiscovered gems that are devoid of crowds but still offer stunning landscapes for you and your family to enjoy a complete holiday experience.
Trà Cổ Beach – Quảng Ninh
Situated in the province of Quảng Ninh, Trà Cổ Beach might lack the appeal of Hạ Long – the pearl of the Far East. Yet, it is precisely this factor that keeps the number of tourists visiting Trà Cổ much lower, creating an ideal destination for families seeking untouched beauty or less commercial environments.
Trà Cổ stands as one of the most pristine beaches in Vietnam, situated not far from the center of Móng Cái town. In contrast to the rapid urbanization in Móng Cái, Trà Cổ offers a sparse array of tourist services, though this might no longer be true in a few years. Here, if you want to relish seafood, you can buy it directly on the beach when the fishermen return from their catch.
Côn Đảo
A bit further down in the southern part of the country, Côn Đảo is a suitable destination if you seek an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday urban life. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the azure sea and white sand, strolling along the beach paths with almost no one in sight, surrounded by a poetic, romantic scenery that starkly contrasts with the overloaded tourist spots nearby, such as Vũng Tàu, Nha Trang, Mũi Né, Phú Quốc, etc. Most tourists visiting Côn Đảo share a common perception that the place exudes an incredibly pristine, natural beauty and exceptionally fresh air.
If you're a history enthusiast, you'll also be pleased with Côn Đảo, as it once housed a complex of prisons and various detention areas, tiger cages, and many other historical relics from the Vietnam War era.
Buôn Ma Thuột – Đắk Lắk
Not being a tourist city, Buôn Ma Thuột, however, proves to be particularly attractive to those who love a gentle, pleasant atmosphere. Many tourists also acknowledge that this place has a unique charm that you can't find anywhere else.
If you're not much of an adventurer, you might feel a bit weary after a few days of climbing and exploring every nook and cranny of the majestic waterfalls here. However, what compensates for you is the breathtaking scenery of the great mountains with the cascading waterfalls that sparkle white regardless of day or night.
Phan Rang – Ninh Thuan
Heading to Ninh Thuan in late April, especially during the holidays of April 30th - May 1st, you might encounter the challenging weather with dry winds and uncomfortably hot sun. However, if you can overcome the blazing sun and find a cool spot under a tree, a coconut grove, or a roadside leafy café, you will undoubtedly discover the serene tranquility of this land.
Here, you can visit Vinh Hy Bay or drive along the coastal road to admire the stunning scenery. Alternatively, you can explore Ca Na Lagoon, Mui Dinh Lighthouse, Nam Cuong Sand Dunes, Truc Lam Vien Ngo Zen Monastery on Da Chong Mountain, as well as witness the herds of sheep dyeing the vast plains immaculately white.
Mai Chau – Hoa Binh
Mai Chau – Hoa Binh has long been known as a destination for those who enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, fresh air, and pristine, mysterious landscapes. Today, this tourist spot still retains those pure characteristics. Here, you can easily spot beautiful Thai girls sitting weaving fabrics, with views extending to green valleys, interspersed with charming stilt houses hidden in the misty haze.
Mai Chau offers a glimpse of rustic beauty in Ban Lac, with the somber, mysterious Hang Trieu and traditional stilt houses emerging from the white mist, leaving every first-time visitor in awe. If you seek a getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life and crowded tourist spots, Mai Chau is the ideal choice.
Quy Nhon – Binh Dinh
Quy Nhon Beach is not a new destination, yet it welcomes fewer visitors compared to other beaches. The streets never face traffic jams, even during rush hours. Life here is quiet, far from the hustle and bustle of Da Nang, Nha Trang, Vung Tau, or Phan Thiet.
Embarking on a tour of Quy Nhon takes you to Hon Kho, Cu Lao Xanh with its pristine beauty, the stunning Ky Co Beach, and the majestic Eo Gio stretching into the sea. The natural beauty blends mountains and the sea, creating a vast area with lush grass and trees, providing a refreshing, serene atmosphere.
Phu Quy Island – Binh Thuan
Phu Quy Island in Binh Thuan province has long been renowned for enchanting visitors with crystal-clear beaches revealing the seabed and vibrant coral reefs. Visiting here means seeking a tranquil and peaceful space to spend quality time with friends and family.
Phu Quy Island, though still quite pristine, offers essential services such as dining and refreshments, all provided with great care. You can also organize explorations of small islands, have a bonfire, go squid and shrimp fishing, or simply take a leisurely stroll on the beach every late afternoon with the sunset glow.
Binh Lap – Khanh Hoa
Located in the famous Four Bays – Cam Ranh sea area, Binh Lap is relatively unknown to tourists due to its secluded location. However, this is the strength of this land, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere along with pristine beaches.
Binh Lap lacks rows of resorts close to each other, nor does it have expensive luxury services. Coming to this small land during the April 30 – May 1 holiday means you are seeking a sense of relaxation, immersing yourself in nature after busy and tiring working days.
Hai Thinh Sea – Nam Dinh
If you are tired of overcrowded famous beaches, Hai Thinh Sea – Nam Dinh might be your next destination with your family to enjoy a fantastic April 30 – May 1 holiday.
Immerse yourself in the untouched beaches and the stretch of trees running along the coastline. Witness fishing boats returning to shore every late afternoon, creating a picturesque scene. The overall atmosphere is rustic, gentle, and equally intriguing. Especially, the cost of living here is quite affordable compared to other beach resorts in the region.
Vân Long Lagoon – Ninh Bình
Not just a natural reserve, Vân Long Lagoon is a renowned tourist destination with captivating landscapes. What sets Vân Long apart is the tranquil experience of boating on the lagoon, where the water mirrors the sky like a giant flawless mirror, reflecting the blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
The Vân Long area also boasts numerous beautiful caves, including some with large dimensions and significant tourism value such as Fish Cave, Shadow Cave, Turtle Cave, and Lime Cave. If you haven't been to this 'waveless bay' before, you might regret missing out on this April 30 holiday for a beach or some dull tourist spot.
