Summer Travel: 7 Inspiring Destinations Encouraging You to Pack Your Backpack and Hit the Road in June

Da Lat

Da Lat is especially suitable for photographers and those who are passionate about discovering the extraordinary. For one unique reason, Da Lat is entering cloud-hunting season. During this time, strolling around Xuan Huong Lake, you'll see clouds hanging over the lake. To enjoy it longer, head to Tuyen Lam Lake, go further to places with pine forests or mountains.

If you want to admire a misty Da Lat in the fog, you have to go early, around 4 a.m. If it rained heavily the previous night, it promises thick fog and dense mist. You have to choose to move to high and airy places like Langbiang Peak, Hon Bo Peak, the road to Trại Mát, the road to the clay tunnel tourist area…

The Quadrangle: Hung – Tien – Lap – Ba

Venturing to the Quadrangle coastal area, you can freely explore the most pristine beaches, deserted fishing villages, and indulge in specialties like lobster and seafood dishes at extremely affordable prices. As this is a military zone, tourist access is quite restricted, with foreigners completely prohibited from visiting the islands. Therefore, the Quadrangle still retains its unique beauty that nowhere else has.

Departing from Saigon, you can drive to Phan Rang or Cam Ranh and then rent a car to reach the Quadrangle coastal area. The magnificent scenery will awe those who set foot here for the first time. If you fancy camping on the beach, you can choose Binh Hung or Binh Tien, or if you prefer a clean and tidy place to stay, Binh Ba and Binh Lap are worth considering. But no matter where you are in the Quadrangle, you will feel the simplicity and peace of this beautiful coastal region.

Ly Son Island
