Summer is always the season of unexpected showers, but don't let the rain dampen your travel spirits. Pack your backpack and embark on a journey filled with memorable rainy moments, thanks to these intriguing suggestions from Mytour!
1. Hue City
Some cities seem to showcase their charm even more in the rain, captivating the footsteps of travelers. Hue is undoubtedly one of those cities. Explore Hue tourism on rainy days by visiting the Huyen Tran Temple area nestled in the Ngũ Phong Mountains (An Tay Ward).
The Huyen Tran Temple complex includes the Princess Huyen Tran Temple, King Tran Nhan Tong Temple, Hoa Binh Bell Tower, Bo De Garden, and more. Surrounded by dense forests, it forms a cultural and religious architectural complex for visitors to contemplate. On rainy days, step onto the wet stone steps, feeling the moisture, accompanied by the echoing sound of bells from the mountain top, creating a somewhat melancholic yet not dull atmosphere.
You can also choose a riverside restaurant near the Perfume River, sip on warm royal tea, listen to the enchanting songs of Hue in the melodious voices of girls in purple Ao Dai dresses. Outside, the rain gracefully falls on the river, creating gentle ripples, allowing you to sense the gentle and profound beauty of Hue in the rain.
2. Hoi An Ancient Town
Another captivating destination during rainy days is Hoi An. Choose a coffee shop on the second floor of an ancient house, savor a hot cup of coffee while looking outside at the rain covering the ancient houses. Especially after the rain, the scenery of Hoi An becomes strangely beautiful with the lush greenery of moss growing on the yin and yang tiled roofs. In the evening, you can go to the base of the Japanese Covered Bridge to release lanterns or sit at a riverside spot on the Hoai River to admire the floating lanterns in the rain, making it a fascinating experience.
3. Buon Ma Thuot City
Another option for those who love rainforest showers is Buon Ma Thuot. Some travelers embark on a considerable journey to reach this highland area for a simple purpose: to enjoy a cup of authentic coffee accompanied by the deep, powerful melodies of mountain artists blending with the sound of falling rain. The Coffee Village will be an excellent place for you to satisfy your coffee addiction, with a wide variety of coffee flavors for you to choose from.
Traveling to Buon Ma Thuot during the rainy season, you must visit the Dray Sap, Dray Nur, and Gia Long waterfalls to witness the grandeur and mystical beauty that nature brings. These waterfalls, about 20 meters high, cascade down, creating a vast space filled with white foam, giving you the feeling of seeing smoke billowing in the air, still carrying the mysterious aura of ancient tales.
4. Moc Chau Plateau
If the rains of Hue and Hoi An bring you a sense of melancholy, then embark on a journey to explore Moc Chau (Son La) and witness the Dải Yếm waterfall, experiencing a vibrant and powerful ambiance of the mountains.
The rainy season is the most enchanting time for Dải Yếm Waterfall when water from the Vat stream and other sources converges, cascading down like white silk ribbons amidst the backdrop of lush green mountains. Standing on the opposite hill, you'll witness the panoramic view of the waterfall with all its 9 tiers, a truly magnificent sight worth savoring.
Additionally, you can explore the lush green tea hills, such as the Shan Snow Tea Hill in the Moc Chau Farm Town, the heart-shaped tea hill on the way to Ngu Dong On village, the O Long Moc Suong tea hill, and more. While not the ideal season for Moc Chau, it compensates by offering entirely new experiences of this region.
