The weather in Vietnam changes from North to South and region to region. Influenced by the tropical monsoon climate, Vietnam has 4 distinct seasons in the North: spring, summer, autumn, and winter but 2 seasons in the South: dry season and rainy season. Each season has its features and characteristics, which bring you different experiences about places and landscapes.

Spring is a short season in Northern Vietnam that lasts from February to early April. The weather starts to rise, making it more pleasant and not too cold and dry like winter. Spring features a peaceful atmosphere, blue sky, bright sunshine, and warm breezes. However, it expects to have drizzling rains sometimes.

Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh

Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh province) is known as one of the 7 new natural wonders of the world. The name "Ha Long" originates from the legend of the dragon descending into the sea during the early founding of the Vietnamese nation.

The place where the dragon landed is called Bai Tu Long Bay. The dragon's tail whips the water to form Bach Long Vi island, part of the Ha Long Bay heritage complex, with beautiful islands and sand beaches.

About 180 kilometers from Hanoi, Ha Long is the first-class provincial city of Quang Ninh Province and is known as a tourism paradise in the Northern region. Thanks to its privileged location, Ha Long Vietnam attracts millions of domestic and international tourists each year.

One of the most prominent factors that bring renown to Ha Long is the beauty of Ha Long Bay. The bay has an area of 1,553 square kilometers which is made up of 1,900 large and small limestone islands in vivid shapes. Ha Long Bay in Vietnam has been recognized as a natural wonder of the world many times by UNESCO and is known as a must-visit place once in a lifetime.

Dragon Bridge, Da Nang

Dragon Bridge across the Han River was built at the intersection area near Co Vien Cham, connecting with the Nguyen Van Linh intersection. The design of the Dragon Bridge shows the image of a dragon flying over the Han River, the dragon's head raised high, with its body winding and reaching out to the sea.

This inventive design is a reflection of Vietnamese customs and beliefs, as well as highlights Da Nang’s growth and development. Due to its unique design, the bridge has become an iconic image of the city that visitors should not miss while in Danang.

In addition to impressing tourists with the architectural design, Danang Dragon Bridge is also equipped with a function that can astonish everyone when seeing it for the first time: dragon’s fire breathing and water spraying performance. The performance takes place at 9 PM every Saturday, Sunday and holidays.

Long Bien Bridge is a reminder of French technological innovation at that time. Under the guidance of French experts, over 3,000 Vietnamese workers undertook the challenge of building the bridge, using up to 30,000 cubic meters of stones and metals, including 5600 tons of rolled steel, 137 tons of pig iron, 165 tons of iron, and seven tons of lead. The total cost of the bridge was up to 6,200,000 French francs at that time (roughly USD70 million today). The Long Bien Bridge construction period was originally planned to last 60 months, but it was completed 45 months later.

In its more than 100-year history, Long Bien Bridge was once the second longest bridge in the world (just after the Brooklyn Bridge spanning the East River in the US). It is even known as “the horizontal Eiffel Tower in Hanoi”.

The Dragon House was originally the seat of the imperial couriers. Today, the site is best known for being the starting point of Ho Chi Minh’s quest for national salvation. After the liberation of Saigon and national reunification in 1975, Nha Rong (Dragon House) became a memorial site dedicated to the great Vietnamese leader. In 1995, this building was upgraded to become a branch of the Ho Chi Minh Museum. In its early days, the museum covered an area of 250 square meters and had three exhibit rooms.

Mekong River Delta is formed from the strong Mekong River which originated from the Tibetan Highland plateau. The delta is always renewed by the silt every year and the weather is good nearly all year round. Generally, there are two main seasons here: dry and rainy season. The Mekong River Delta is the richest land in Vietnam which is very suitable for farming, fishing, gardening, and raising poultry. Tourism also plays an important role in the area's development because of the attractive landscapes and cultural value.
