Apart from the vibrant cities of Ho
Chi Minh (south) and Hanoi (north), which are great starting points for any
Vietnamese family adventure, there are several other destinations that could
make your holiday an extremely memorable one.
Families can head to one of
Vietnam’s beach resorts in Hoi An or Danang, which have plenty to offer in
terms of beautiful beaches, fabulous restaurants and lots of fun activities for
children. Some of the best beach resorts in the country are located in Danang,
although the Cua Dai beach close to Hoi An is also a popular vacation spot.
There are also plenty of other beaches in Vietnam’s central and south coasts
worth exploring.
Hoi An also offers some unique
sightseeing opportunities. Centuries-old Buddhist pagodas, temples, quaint
museums and colonial shophouses line the streets of this ancient town. One of
the best ways for you to soak in the rich culture and heritage as a family is
by cycling through the streets of Hoi An.
For the more adventurous families,
there are spectacular mountains and jungle treks from the peaceful hill station
of Dalat in the south, to the beguiling valley of Sa Pa in the northern
highlands. The mountainous countryside of Sa Pa – close to the border with
Yunan province in China – offers charming trekking trails for some amazing
hikes; rice terraces and waterfalls; and is home to several ethnic minority
tribes.
Cap off the Vietnamese holiday in
the modern and bustling metropolitan of Ho Chi Minh City. Among the
not-to-be-missed attractions is the Suoi Tien Cultural Amusement Park in
District 1. The Buddhist-themed attraction is fitted with colourful statues of
mythical creatures as well as edifices and shrines of Buddha amidst
waterslides, rollercoaster rides, a 4D theatre and aquarium!

Of course, as in any foreign city, a
sampling of local street food and visit to the local markets are a must. Kids
generally enjoy Vietnamese cuisine as they are flavourful and rarely spicy.
From a warm bowl of traditional Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) and banh mi
(Vietnamese sandwish) to steamed Banh bao (steamed pork buns) and Banh Xeo
(Vietnamese crepe), there are plenty of kid-friendly foods in Vietnam.
Browse along the family-run shops
and stalls lining the sidewalks of the city, for a truly authentic experience. Alternatively,
visiting the Ben Thanh Market will also give you a taste of the energy and
flavor of Ho Chi Minh to complete your memorable holiday experience.
