“The beauty of countries around the world depends on the eye and perception of each traveler. There are countless ancient natural wonders that leave people in awe with their scale and intricacy, such as Australia’s massive red sandstone monolith Uluru or the vast white salt flats stretching across Bolivia,” Condé Nast Traveler noted.

The magazine also suggested that if modern wonders are more appealing, travelers can embark on an architectural journey around the world by climbing the tiers of some of Asia’s oldest pagodas or strolling among the greatest works of modern architectural masters.
Within that vibrant global picture, Viet Nam stands out as a destination that combines spectacular natural landscapes with rich cultural depth. Bustling destinations such as the capital Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City attract millions of visitors each year.
Viet Nam’s appeal goes beyond urban life. Condé Nast Traveler commented: “Viet Nam is also a paradise for those who enjoy outdoor activities, or simply for those who love beautiful scenery.”
In the northeast, Ha Long Bay appears as a natural masterpiece, with emerald waters and thousands of limestone islands covered in tropical vegetation. Further north, Tuyen Quang captivates visitors with its rolling mountain ranges, terraced rice fields, and breathtaking mountain passes.

Along the central coast, Ninh Van Bay in Khanh Hoa offers a pristine seaside atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for water sports such as diving and exploring marine ecosystems.
Phu Quoc Island, often referred to as the “pearl island” in the south, is known as a “tropical paradise,” covered with primary forests and high-end resorts, making it a perfect choice for long vacations immersed in nature.
Viet Nam’s inclusion in Condé Nast Traveler’s list of the world’s 28 most beautiful countries shows that the country’s brand is becoming more clearly and strongly recognized on the global tourism map.
Visitors to Viet Nam are impressed not only by its natural beauty but also by the diversity of travel experiences, from exploring majestic landscapes and learning about local cultures to enjoying vibrant urban life.
