Vietnam among 20 best places to visit in January suggested by Wanderlust
Vietnam is among the 20 best places to visit in January as suggested by UK travel magazine Wanderlust in a recent article.
According to the article, Vietnam, at the 8th place in the list, like its neighbour Laos, is a safe bet in January. The weather is similarly pleasant, dry and sunny – with only slight differences between the north and south. Crowds have yet to arrive post-Christmas, so you’ve got the chance to experience this uber-popular country in relative peace.
“You’ll never get bored of Vietnam’s varied cities: Hoi An, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hue, the perfect city for cycling enthusiasts,” the article said.
It said natural beauty is around every corner in Vietnam, too. There’s Ha Long Bay and the lesser-known Lan Ha Bay, both accessible from Cat Ba Island, and one of the world’s biggest caves, Hang Son Doong.
At the top of the Wanderlust’s list is Norway, followed by Malé (the Maldives) and Los Angeles (the US), Slovenia, Barbados, Laos and the Mekong River, Nicaragua, Honduras & El Salvador.
After Vietnam at the 8th place, the magazine suggests going to Hill Country of Sri Lanka, Panama, chick penguin watching in Antarctica, watching macaws inTambopata( Peru), bird watching in the UK, watching Eurasian lynxes in Poland, watching wildebeest in Tanzania, the International Kite Festival in Gujarat (India), Up Helly Aa in Lerwick (Scotland), Kiruna snow festival in Sweden and New Year’s Eve in Sydney, Australia./.
