Ha Long bay |
One is a steamy bowl of Pho Ha Noi. The noodle soup is known among most tourists and loved by many.
It is a bowl of soft rice noodles in a broth carefully prepared with different herbs and served with beef or chicken, shallots and chili and lemon to taste.
The soup is considered a national dish and can be found all over Viet Nam.
Last year, Business Insider also listed Pho Ha Noi among the Top 100 lifetime experiences and the most iconic food to eat in 50 countries worldwide.
Around four hours drive to the west of Ha Noi is Ha Long Bay, a natural marvel with more than 1,500 islands and inlets popping up from emerald waters that are perfect for a boat cruise.
Ha Long Bay has become famous since UNESCO named it a natural heritage site.
The website advises its readers to spend time slurping up a steaming bowl of Pho in Ha Noi and sailing through Ha Long bay in a classic junk if they have chance to visit Viet Nam.
