Whether you are an adventure seeker, a culture enthusiast, or a nature lover, Vietnam has something for everyone. 

In this blog post, we will explore the top six must-see destinations for your Vietnam Holiday, ensuring you have a lifetime trip.

1. Hanoi - The Enchanting Capital

Our journey begins in Hanoi, the enchanting capital city of Vietnam. Hanoi is a vibrant city that seamlessly blends ancient traditions with modern developments. As you wander through its bustling streets, you will be captivated by the sights, sounds, and smells that fill the air.

One of the most iconic attractions in Hanoi is Hoan Kiem Lake. This serene body of water is surrounded by lush greenery and is a popular meeting spot for locals and tourists alike. Stroll around the lake or visit Ngoc Son Temple, which sits on a small island in the middle.

Another must-visit area in Hanoi is the Old Quarter. Here, you can immerse yourself in the city's rich history as you explore its narrow streets, colonial architecture, and traditional shops. Don't forget to try the street food, as Hanoi is renowned for its delicious and diverse culinary scene. For a unique cultural experience, catch a traditional water puppet show, where intricately carved puppets perform on a water stage.

2. Ha Long Bay - A Natural Wonder

No visit to Vietnam would be complete without experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long Bay. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a natural wonder that will leave you in awe. Picture yourself surrounded by towering limestone karsts emerging from the emerald waters, creating a magical and surreal landscape.

One of the best ways to explore Ha Long Bay is by taking a cruise. Sail through the karsts, stopping at various islands and caves. You can also hop in a kayak and paddle through the calm waters, getting close to the karsts and exploring hidden caves. Don't forget to bring your camera, as the views are truly unforgettable.

3. Hoi An - A Timeless Beauty

Next on our list is Hoi An, a charming ancient town that will transport you back in time. Hoi An is known for its well-preserved architecture, reflecting the influences of various cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, and European.

One of the highlights of Hoi An is the Japanese Covered Bridge, a symbol of the town. This beautiful bridge, dating back to the 16th century, is a marvel of architecture and an excellent photo spot. As you wander the town, you will encounter other architectural gems, such as the Quan Cong Temple and the Phung Hung Ancient House.

Hoi An is also famous for its tailor shops, where you can get custom-made clothing at affordable prices. The options are endless, from suits to dresses to traditional Vietnamese ao dai. Take the opportunity to get measured, choose your fabric, and have a unique piece of clothing made just for you.

4. Hue - Imperial Splendour

Our next stop is Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. Hue is a city steeped in history and is home to numerous significant landmarks that offer a glimpse into its imperial past.

One of the must-visit attractions in Hue is the Imperial City, a vast complex that once served as the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty. Explore the grand palaces, ornate gardens, and intricate architecture as you learn about the dynasty's history. Another notable landmark in Hue is the Thien Mu Pagoda, an iconic seven-story pagoda that overlooks the Perfume River. Take a boat ride along the river to reach the pagoda and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Make sure that your Vietnam holiday package includes this city.

No visit to Hue would be complete without indulging in traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Treat yourself to a royal-style meal, where you can savour dishes once served to the imperial family. The combination of flavours and the attention to detail in the presentation will leave you feeling like royalty.

5. Sa Pa - Majestic Mountains

For those seeking adventure and natural beauty, Sa Pa is a destination not to be missed. Located in the mountainous region of northern Vietnam, Sa Pa is renowned for its terraced rice fields, ethnic diversity, and stunning panoramic views.

Embark on a hiking adventure in Sa Pa, where you can traverse the hills and valleys while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The terraced rice fields create a patchwork quilt of vibrant greens, especially during the harvest season when the fields are filled with golden rice. Engage with local communities by opting for a homestay, where you can learn about their traditions, customs, and way of life. Visit the local markets to buy handmade crafts and traditional textiles.

6. Ho Chi Minh City - Bustling Metropolis

Our final destination is Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. This bustling metropolis is the largest city in Vietnam and offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, and modernity.

Start exploring at the War Remnants Museum, where you can learn about Vietnam's turbulent past. The museum provides a sobering look at the Vietnam War, showcasing photographs, artifacts, and memorabilia. Afterwards, head to Ben Thanh Market, a bustling marketplace where you can find everything from local handicrafts to street food. Don't miss the chance to try some of the city's famous dishes, such as banh mi and pho.

If you have time, consider taking a day trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels, an intricate network of underground tunnels used by the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. Explore the tunnels, crawl through the narrow passages, and gain insight into the harsh conditions that soldiers endured.

Conclusion

Vietnam is a country that will leave a lasting impression on any traveller. From the enchanting capital of Hanoi to the natural wonder of Ha Long Bay, the timeless beauty of Hoi An, the imperial splendour of Hue, the majestic mountains of Sa Pa, and the bustling metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City, each destination offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

No matter what your interests are, Vietnam has something to offer. Whether you seek adventure, cultural immersion, or a relaxing escape, this Southeast Asian gem has it all. So, start planning your Vietnam holiday and prepare to be amazed by the beauty, culture, and adventure that await you.

Christmas Pie

Written for @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt: DESSERT @steddiemas prompt: EGGNOG, BAKING wc: 989 rating: G CW: NA summary: Steve is back in Hawkins, missing Eddie. But at least he has Wayne to keep him company. ao3

Steve sighed as knocked on Wayne’s door. Last week went by too quickly and now he was back home, waiting for Eddie.

“Steve! Come in.” Wayne smiled as he opened the door, waving him inside. “I just finished the eggnog. Eddie hates it, so the only time I can drink it in peace is during these few weeks. You aint gonna complain are ya?” He asked good-naturedly. Steve huffed a laugh.

“No, I actually like eggnog.” He knocked the snow off his boots before he tucked them into the corner. “Don’t tell Eddie I said that.”

“You’re secret’s safe with me.” Wayne chuckled. The two men made their way to the kitchen, one of the reasons Steve was here today was to learn how to make Eddie’s favorite Christmas dessert. But when he walked in, he was extremely confused.

“What are these?” He asked. Wayne pat him on the shoulder.

“Cranberries. Ed’s favorite is Cranberry Lemon Christmas pie. Granny Munson’s recipe.” Wayne stepped into the kitchen and waved Steve forward.

“Huh, for some reason I assumed it would be something sweeter.” Steve chuckled. Eddie had a sweet tooth like nobody’s business, so he thought it was a fair assumption. The two men washed their hands and began prepping the pie. As they worked they talked; this was one of only a handful of times Steve has talked to Wayne without Eddie present.

“What was Eddie like as a kid?” Steve asked as they kneaded the pie dough.

“Rambunctious as all get out. He’d get into all kinds of trouble.” Wayne laughed. “I remember this one time, his mama stormed into the trailer after church. Now, we was just at church together, mind. So, in the ten minutes we’d been separated, Eddie tore his new dress playing in the dirt with the other boys. I laughed and said ‘I told y’all to buy the kid some church pants.’” Steve paused his hands.

“A dress? But Eddie’s...Eddie.” Steve said confused. Wayne gave him a calculated look..

“Eddie didn’t have the words to explain that he wasn’t a girl, at least not that young. Now, I had some idea, but his parents were surprised as all get out.” Wayne said softly. “It’s why he lived with me.”

“You had some idea?” Steve asked. Was Wayne like Eddie?”

“When I was sent to Nam, I met a man. We was close, so close in fact that it could have gotten us kicked out of service.” Wayne raised his eyebrows at Steve. “But when we came back, he wanted to end it between us. Said, that he wasn’t all that truthful.” Wayne smiled. “Said he wasn’t really a man named Sean, but a woman named Sheila. Said she was sorry for making me think she was a man, but she couldn’t pretend to be Sean anymore.”

“What happened?” Steve asked, pie forgotten for the moment.

“Ask Eddie to tell you about his spitfire Aunt Sheila some time.” Wayne smiled fondly. “She died from cancer a while back. That orange stuff hurt a lot of people.” Wayne sighed. “I woulda married that girl, if the law looked past what a person looked like.” Steve thought about that for a moment.

“Did you know before Eddie told you?” Steve asked.

“Sheila did. Said she recognized similar behaviors from her childhood to Ed’s just..in reverse.” Wayne tried his best to explain. “She was the first person he told. Then me. Then his parents.”

“What did they do?” Steve asked when Wayne didn’t seem to continue.

“Not good things Steve. Like I said, there’s a reason Eddie finished growing up with me.” Wayne said, a certain finality in his voice. Steve took the hint and went back to safer topics.

It was after the pies were cooling that Eddie finally called. “Hey, Eds. How are you?” Steve asked when it was his turn, he let Wayne go first; partially because that was his son, but also because Steve didn’t want a timeline on his call with Eddie.

“I’m alright. Miss you, sweetheart.” Eddie sighed. Steve could hear him getting comfortable in the hotel bed.

“I miss you, too. But I learned how to make your favorite pie!” Steve said enthused. But instead of a happy reaction, Eddie groaned.

“Was it cranberry lemon?” He asked apprehensively.

“Yes?” He responded confused. Eddie sighed, resigned to his fate.

“I told Granny I liked it one time as a kid because she was old and I thought she was dying. Turns out she wasn’t I just didn’t know what old people looked like. Then she made it every year ‘specially for me, so I was stuck eating that pie every year while I hated it. I thought when she died the pie would die with her, but nope, here Wayne is making it nearly fifteen years later.” He paused for effect.

Steve burst into laughter. “Why not just tell him?”

“He’ll be mad he wasted so many years making it. Promise me you’ll take that to the grave Harrington!” Eddie groused down the phone. He thought about dragging it out, but Steve remembered how happy Wayne was and couldn’t do it.

“Alright, alright. I won’t tell him.” Steve held his hands up as if Eddie could see him. “It’s late, I should let you get some sleep.” He whispered.

“Still want to move to LA. Stevie?” Eddie asked like he does every night.

“Yeah, see you at Christmas?” Steve asked hopefully.

“See you at Christmas.” Eddie promised.

As he laid in Eddie’s bed, he closed his eyes, imagined himself in LA. A band husband, a small business owner, with an amazing house, a kid or two they adopted, some pets. He saw the two of them with a rock solid foundation that wouldn’t have been possible if Steve moved in at the beginning of their relationship. The ability to be individuals was freeing.

He hated he’d have to admit Robin was right.

Little pink me left corner: Ủa đang Tết sao lại nhắc chuyện học vậy má?? Nói quài dợ :"))

-> Wait, why ya talkin' abt school when it's Tet, damn?? Why dredging up this again lah :"))

End translating from Vietnamese to English]

First idea:

Mng nghỉ Tết dui dẻ nhen!!! -> Have fun taking a break at Tet holiday!!!

(The Vietnamese words below the words above in the pic is ONLY related to my school info/college stuff, so I won't translate that)

Yeah, I drew this first idea on paper Wed, 15/1/2025; and then after I returned home in my home city (I didn't study college in the city I was brought up, but the city I was born in, so my official home is the former city) using Ibis Paint X

Also I tried with new styles of drawing, coloring like some lines you usually see children does, and I think it's really cool!
