Top 10 Hottest Travel Destinations for Lunar New Year 2016
1. Nha Trang
If you have ever been to Nha Trang, you will easily be captivated by the charm and dynamism of this beautiful coastal city. Nha Trang is famous for its endless stretches of coastline, with white sandy beaches and vast blue sea enough to make tourists enjoy all day long without getting bored. When in Nha Trang, don't forget to enjoy the rich and flavorful Binh Ba lobster porridge or the specialty fish cake noodle soup here.
2. Da Lat
In January, along the roads from Da Lat to Cau Dat, cherry blossoms bloom, painting the landscape in beautiful shades of pink like a distant land. The cool, fresh air of the mountain town makes visitors even more comfortable. Living up to its name as the city of thousands of flowers, Da Lat always boasts colorful flower seasons that enchant many travelers at any time of the year. Visit Da Lat in January to experience the atmosphere of locals preparing for Tet and immerse yourself in the cherry blossom colors that only come once a year.
3. Phu Quoc
During this time, the sea around Phu Quoc is calm, with gentle sunlight making the water appear even more turquoise. The emerald island is not only blessed with beaches but also covered in lush forests. If you're into adventure, rent a motorbike to explore the local life at Bai Thom, trek through the wilderness, or visit untouched places like the fishing villages of Rach Tram and Rach Vem.
4. Da Nang
January is perhaps the perfect time for travelers looking to save money. Visiting at this time is a smart choice because the weather in Da Nang is cool, and there are no storms. Especially during this period, service prices are cheaper compared to the summer months. There's no need to elaborate on the fame of this leading tourist city in Vietnam, Da Nang attracts more and more tourists due to its friendliness, cleanliness, and stunning scenery.
5. Quy Nhon
It's no coincidence that Quy Nhon makes it to the top 10 hottest destinations this Lunar New Year. Blessed by nature with majestic landscapes, Quy Nhon's sea adds a touch of wildness to both scenery and people. Nature has bestowed upon this place the harmonious beauty of mountains and sea. From Xuân Diệu Street, casting your gaze far to the left, you'll see clouds obscuring the peak of Ghềnh Ráng mountain, where the tomb of the poet Han Mac Tu lies. On the right is a range of dragon-shaped mountains, lying majestically.
6. Thailand
Thailand is renowned for its tourism industry. There are many titles that world travelers have affectionately bestowed upon this beautiful country, such as the 'land of golden temples', 'tourism paradise', 'shopping paradise'... You will be thrilled to visit Thailand because of its magnificent landscapes, luxurious temple complexes, vibrant entertainment areas, unique traditional festivals, and especially countless shopping opportunities at bustling, affordable shopping districts.
7. Malaysia
Malaysia's tourism flourishes thanks to its cultural diversity, historical colonial remnants, and enchanting offshore islands in the Pacific Ocean. Famous tourist destinations in Malaysia include Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Melaka, Langkawi, the Cameron Highlands, and Tioman Island. Malaysia is becoming the hub of top-notch amusement parks in Southeast Asia. It usually takes at least half a day or even a full day to explore the games here.
8. Hong Kong
The delicacy of Dim Sum, limitless fun at Ocean Park, the diversity of street food, or the shopping spree in Mong Kok... These are just a few reasons why tourists flock to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of Asia's important economic and commercial centers, but it lacks distinctive cultural features, often dubbed as a 'cultural desert'. However, when you set foot in this city, you will gradually sense the hidden cultural traits behind the skyscrapers, bustling entertainment areas, and prosperity.
9. Singapore
Why not travel to Singapore this year? Although Singapore is not a new tourist destination, you should visit Singapore this year. Flying kites at Marina Barrage, cycling along East Coast Park, learning Tai Chi, dining at outdoor centers... are suggested activities for tourists to try like locals. Especially, Gardens by the Bay in Singapore is perhaps one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Just a less than 5-minute walk from Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay covers 101 hectares with 3 gardens stretching along the bay: Bay South and Bay East on both sides, and Bay Central in the middle.
10. Japan
Japan, the land of cherry blossoms, always attracts many tourists from around the world. In Japan, you can visit modern, bustling cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, or explore traditional and ancient lands like Kyoto, Nagoya; or immerse yourself in the beautiful natural landscapes of Mount Fuji and hot springs in Noboribetsu... Besides, you can enjoy the delicious, unique cuisine of this country and participate in cultural festivals rich in national identity.
