For those seeking a more profound connection with the country, explore lesser-known treasures such as the ancient temples of Ninh Binh or the quiet beauty of Sapa's terraced rice fields.

Good to know:

Vietnam's currency is the dong (VND), and most places accept cash payments, though credit cards are commonly used in cities.
