Wonderful locations

#1 Valleys: Vietnam's most romantic locations 

There are quite a number of places to head to in Vietnam while on a romantic getaway. Beautiful valleys appear to top the list. Grasslands, rice fields and a plethora of flowery hues found in the numerous valleys are wonderful for honeymooners in Vietnam.

Dalat is a great valley that is located at about 1500m above sea level in the Vietnamese south central Highlands. The rolling mountains are blanketed with pine trees, which make it one of the best romantic spots in Vietnam during the spring and the summer.

Who is it perfect for: lovers of cool weather, woodland solitude and older couples.

Why it's a perfect honeymoon location: Dalit is an authentic spot, as the while the city has the regular tourist traps, Ana Mandara has been able to keep most of the romantic parts the 1930s brought. It was a time when French officials weary from administrative duties retreated to the tree covered Highlands for a bit of R&R.

The duration you should stay: 3 days and 2 nights should be sufficient time to discover the grounds while trying out the wonderful breakfast buffet, be pampered with a massage at the La Cochinchine spa, or head over to l explore the center of the city.

To get the romantic experience: visitors can take a ride in paddle boats shaped like massive swans over at Xuan Huong Lake, take a walk to explore the numerous flower gardens or see the beautiful waterfalls situated nearby.
