From Ha Long Bay to Ban Gioc Falls, Northeast Vietnam blends dramatic karsts, national parks, and ethnic villages. Our complete guide to planning your journey.

Northeast Vietnam, stretching from the Red River Delta to the Gulf of Tonkin, is the cradle of Vietnamese civilization. This remarkably fertile region, occupied for a thousand years by the Chinese from the 2nd century BC, has become one of the country's most dynamic areas today, thanks to its strategic geography, the port of Haiphong, interest from investors worldwide, and of course, its boundless tourism potential. Beyond the beauty of its mountainous landscapes lies a stunning coastline crowned with a jewel: Ha Long Bay. Enchanting.
