Hanoi

Hanoi has been experiencing a kind of mix weather these days with occasional bright sunshine and sudden heavy rain. The condition keeps its persistence throughout this weekend. The weather is though considered romantic by some nature followers yet it is easy to catch cold and sometime humidity turns out to be a naughty theft, who can take away happy feeling at the afternoon.

Whatever tourists are planning to do, short tour within Hanoi or a day tour out of the city to Bat Trang village or Huong pagoda, all are acceptable for the weather condition with a plan.

Danang

The coastal city, like Hanoi, is expecting a cloudy and sunny weather, which is kind of alright for every travelling plan.  We recommend Son Tra peninsula for peaceful atmosphere and even for zen tourism. Other choice can be a taxi tour or motorbike tour to Hoi An, which is about 30 km away from Danang. Umbrella is supposed to be a good companion in case of unexpected light rains.

Ho Chi Minh City

The tropic seems not to be easy this weekend. Tourists wanting to travel out of the city should definitely consider bus or taxi instead of motorbike. The high humidity will annoy a lot with rain and thunderstorm. The road is easily flooded by half an hour rain so waiting for the rain to stop before going out is a wise choice.

Stop at a side-walk fruit shop and buy you some tropic and consider durian, it may be an unforgettable experience.
