The Mausoleum houses the remains of Ho Chi Minh, the founding father of the unified Vietnam (the mausoleum and museum is closed in October-December). Vietnamese food is one of the world’s most delightful of cuisines, enjoy some of the finest at Little Hanoi.Day 3-4 Halong Bay
Thousands of limestone islands rise dramatically from the waters of Halong Bay; further, these limestone karst formations are hollowed by intricate caves. Aboard a sailing junk, visit some of the islands and caves and perhaps take a swim, followed by a peaceful night beneath the stars.
