QUANG NINH (VNS) — Fodor's Travel magazine has picked out Viet Nam as one of the world's 10 must-see destinations in autumn.

It says autumn is an ideal time to travel, admire beautiful landscapes and experience different cultures.

"From the countryside of Viet Nam to the beaches of the Florida Panhandle, these are Fodor's top 10 places to go this fall," it said.

"It's been forty years since the end of the Viet Nam War, and there's never been a better time to visit this rapidly developing nation."

If travellers are looking for an exotic escape, September, October and November are some of the slowest months, it says.

Moreover, the weather at this time of the year is generally pleasant throughout the north and south, it says.

There's a lot to see and do in Viet Nam, but vacationers definitely should not miss Ha Noi, HCM City and picturesque Ha Long Bay, it recommends. — VNS
