Beaches
Vietnam has over 3000 km of coastline with countless beautiful beaches in partly developed and partly undeveloped areas. In the north lies Bai Chay Beach in Halong Bay, with its dreamlike scenery. The longest beach is China Beach between Da Nang and Hoi An. The most famous is Nha Trang Beach along the coastal town of the same name. It offers crystal clear water with a great view of the nearby mountains. The ideal beach for surfing is Mui Ne with its palm-fringed shore and sand dunes that give it a bit of a desert vibe.
Sapa
The mountain landscape with the town of Sapa and the surrounding mountain villages is located in the north and borders on China.

The Hoang-Lien National Park surrounds this area, which is home to many ethnic hill tribes, including the colorfully dressed Hmong.
