The travel website Rough Guides has compiled a list of the world’s best backpacking destinations, of which, Viet Nam is ranked at 9th place.
Introducing about Viet Nam, Rough Guides said the country is buzzed with energy and hope. Backpackers can discover colorful cities which are full of amazing scenery and delicious street foods. The website also recommends tourists to opt for a motorbike trip along the national routes, or enjoy the magnificent Ha Long Bay from a cruise’s window. With the mountain tribes, offbeat beaches and beautiful countryside, Viet Nam is hailed as the paradise for backpackers.
Beside Viet Nam, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia are three other southeast countries also in Rough Guides’ list. Thailand was chosen for its rich culture, low-cost and a great number of sights and activities. Laos’ high ranking came from the hospitality of its people. Meanwhile, Rough Guides’ readers are impressed with the cities and towns of Cambodia, saying that they are the perfect place to learn about the country’s history.
