Sapa has some similarities with Dalat in climate, but landscapes and local people in Sapa reflect a totally different world. During late April and early May, natural scenery in Sapa is not too spectacular; however, travelers are attracted by lovely H’ Mong little girls in colorful brocade dresses and sophisticated silver jewelry, which is so impressive. In winter, before New Year celebration, Sapa is at its best. In this season, the weather in Sapa is so cold, some places the temperature falls below zero. Interestingly, weather is one of attractions in Sapa. There are four seasons in a day in the mountainous town. In the morning, it is quite cold with the temperature of about 12-18 Celsius degrees; at noon, Sapa seems to wear a new bright fresh and colorful coat with warmer temperature.

Sapa seems to be stable with crowded bustling streets, more hotels and better services. After many years of development, there are many things changed and continuously changed as the rule of life. Different from towns and villages in the northwest, life in Sapa is changed.

Most of hotels, bars and restaurants in Sapa Town are owned by Kinh people (Vietnamese group), some possessed by foreigners.
In Vietnam tour packages to Sapa, travelers are often impressed by the speaking foreign language of locals. H’ Mong ladies mostly communicate with foreign travelers by English, even old people can talk and exchange easily with foreigners. Travelers will meet the image of an old lady sewing and sometime communicating with buyers by a few basic words in English. Especially, when the old lady says something in her own ethnic language with someone via her cellphone, travelers definitely feel curious and delectable. That new and modern things may be good for locals proves that their life is improved significantly. However, pay money to take photos or suffer from dual pricing make travelers think that tourism changes life in Sapa. In addition, not all items in Sapa Market are made by locals; they come from China. Sometimes, travelers can meet hybrid children. Tourism in Sapa makes the town more prosperous, but many lives changes.

A hot bowl of Hue beef noodle will bring more energy to tourists before exploring the city. If there is no luxury of time to explore every corner of the city for several days, tourists can fulfill their Hue day tours in 24 hours with the following top things to do.
City of Hue

Let’s start Hue city tours by visiting royal tombs in Hue Citadel. Hue Citadel is located in the north of Perfume River with an area of 500ha. Here is the administrative and political center of Nguyen Dynasty and royal living place of emperors and lords as well. Hue Citadel includes the citadel and Forbidden Purple City. In 1993, Hue Citadel was recognized as a Cultural World Heritage by UNESCO, which brought the pride to Vietnamese people. There are a number of royal tombs in the citadel. Three most famous ones are Minh Mang Tomb, Khai Dinh Tomb, and Tu Duc Tomb.
Minh Mang Tomb is the first stopover to drop by. The architectural work was built in 1840 as the rest-in-pea place of Minh Mang Emperor. The Minh Mang tomb measures 18ha; and the "penalty area" surrounding the tomb is about 475ha wide. The general structure is symmetrical balance surrounded by a Shinto line (belonging to Shintoism) exuding the dignity. Besides, along the walking road around the tomb, there are lush green trees and some pavilions to take rest and admire landscapes such as Dieu Ngu, Nghenh Phong Pavilion, Tuan Loc Terrace, Quan Lan, and Hu Hoai Pavilion... The next stopover is Khai Dinh Tomb. It is the mausoleum of the 12th Emperor of Nguyen Dynasty - Khai Dinh Emperor. The tomb was constructed in 1920 under the control of Le Van Ba, a high-rank court of Nguyen Dynasty. Compared with previous emperors' tombs, that of Khai Dinh Emperor has a modest scale, but it took more time to build. The tomb is the combination of many schools of architecture such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Roman, and Gothique... These features are reflected meticulously in the architecture.

Last but not least, it is the tomb of Tu Duc Emperor. The tomb is an architectural complex. The work has a unique and complicated architectural style reflected through the Bat Trang bricked walkways running from Vu Khiem Gate, passing Khiem Cung Mon Gate or passing a three-level stone row that leads to Khiem Cung Mon Gate. At noon, it is recommended to stop at the south bank of Perfume River and enjoy Nam Pho Banh Canh (Nam Pho noddle soup). This dish is the combination of soft rice noodles added by crab pies and meat, creating a tasty sweet flavor of broth. A bowl of this dish costs about 10,000 - 15,000 VND.
After taking a rest, let’s vary the day tour by visiting Thien Mu Pagoda. Thien Mu Pagoda was constructed in 1601 on Ha Khe Hill on the left bank of Perfume River. Up until now, the pagoda remains its inherent majesty, purity and antique. The highlight of tours in Hue is dropping by Tu Nhan Tower, later changed as Phuoc Duyen Tower. The work was built as the order of Thieu Tri Emperor. It is 21 meter high with 7 floors in front of the pagoda's gate. It is one of typical symbol of the city.

The ingredients of the dish consist of rice, salads, peanuts, sesame, shrimp sauce and mussels. All creates a unique and tasty flavor. Enjoying the catchy dish will help tourists have more experiences on the local cuisine. After dinner, taking a Perfume River cruise is a fantastic idea.

During the time of sitting on boat, listening to beautiful Hue folk songs and enjoying cool breezes will be unforgettable memories in the day tour.

In the rest time of the day, trying to eat some sweet soup and then going for a walk will be interesting experiences in Hue. The sweet soup world in Hue possesses different flavors and colors. There are many kinds of sweet soup that you could not remember all their names. This is the one of the most interesting snacks releasing your hunger at night. Walking to enjoy serene life of Hue City along Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street near the bank of Perfume River at night or popping in shopping places to buy souvenirs and specialties for family and friends will definitely leave memorable moments in tourists’ mind. Before ending the tour, do not forget to drop candle flowers on Perfume River and contemplate lines of shimmering candle flowers floating on the river.

The international event appeals a great number of tourists all over the world coming here to admire the magnificent festival and explore the city. To enjoy the most memorable Da Nang travel during this time, let’s keep the following tips in your pocket.
Da Nang International Fireworks
Da Nang Fireworks Competition 2015

Not everyone has a chance to own a ticket to admire the outstanding and splendid fireworks performances at one of ideal stands of the festival’s venue. However, stands are perfect but not the “only” places to contemplate the magnificent fireworks competition. A series of restaurants, hotels and skyscrapers along Han River are wonderful places to admire the festival. By this way, tourists just pay a bit more money and then do not have to make all attempt to reach their seats on stand with thousands of people. Do not miss to make your wonderful Vietnam holidays in Da Nang full of unforgettable memories by unique photos.
There is another more interesting way to see the fireworks festival. It is taking a boat tour to travel along Han River and contemplate the wonderful scenery. That will be a poetic and romantic experience in any Vietnam tours to Da Nang City. It takes from 200,000 – 500,000VND (10 – 25 USD) with this tour. Tourists need to book in advance. In case, there is no seat on stands left, no seat at ideal restaurants, hotels, or boat tour, “unlucky” audiences still have a chance to contemplate the festival. It is immersing in the lines of thousands of local people coming to the bank of Han River, Han River Bridge, and Thuan Phuoc Birdge early (from 16:00 to 17:00) to reserve a seat. These places are seen as the ideal venues to see fireworks performances. Do not forget to bring something to eat, raincoat, drink… along.
Where to go in daytime?

If tourists desire to enjoy Da Nang tours to further attractions, tours of Ngu Hanh Son (Mable Mountains) - Hoi An Ancient Town is an ideal option. This tour takes only one day to discover two famous attractions in Da Nang with diverse programs such as hiking Marble Mountains, visiting Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village and art workshop countries, popping in Hoi An Ancient Town - World Heritage and enjoying specialties of Hoi An... On the second day, a tour to Ba Na Hills should be noted in list of things to do in Da Nang. Sitting in the world's longest cable car to visit Vong Nguyet Hill, Linh Ung Pagoda, Shakyamuni Buddha Statue, or coming to stables and old wine cellar of the French... and enjoying the fresh air of "French spring" in Ba Na Hills are wonderful experiences in Vietnam tour packages.
