him/her about what things to prepare, where to stay, places to visit in VN…
Dear John,
I’m happy to hear that you’ll be visiting Vietnam next month! Here are some tips
to help you prepare.
It can be quite hot, so pack light clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. If you're visiting the
north, bring a jacket as it can get cooler. In Hanoi, the Old Quarter is ideal for
accommodation. For a one-week trip, you can explore the serene beauty of Hoan
Kiem Lake, wander through the charming streets of the Old Quarter, and pay
respects at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. You can also immerse yourself in the rich
history of the Temple of Literature and marvel at the unique architecture of the
One Pillar Pagoda
Hope you will enjoy your trip and let me know if you need more details!
Best regards,
Thuy.
