The thrill of taking a great photo isn’t the only adrenaline rush you’ll be getting at the train tracks in Hanoi.

A trip to Vietnam would not be complete without a trip to one of the 7 Wonders of Nature, Ha Long Bay. With over 2000 islands, stunning beaches, party boats, and glowing sunsets, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular travel spots on Instagram.



// 5. SUNSETS AT PHU QUOC


After traveling down Vietnam, hop on a quick flight from Ho Chi Minh to Phu Quoc island. Here you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city life and catch some of the most breathtaking sunsets Southeast Asia has to offer.

In Hoi An, the photo opportunities are everywhere!



// 7. DONALD TRUMP


Take a trip to Phong Nha and check out the world’s largest cave, feed the ducks at The Duck Stop, and take a ride on the famous water buffalo, Donald Trump. Don’t worry! The guys in charge are pros at getting your best angles, so sit back and enjoy the ride!



// 8. DA LAT


You’d be cheating yourself if you miss Da Lat on your trip through Vietnam. There’s so much you can do! Get lost in the maze at 100 Roofs Bar, gawk at the beauty that is the Linh Phuoc Pagoda, bewilder the wackiness that is Crazy House, and conquer your fears with a day of canyoning. The city is made for photos, so have some fun and snap away!




// 9. SHITTY SHIRT NIGHT


There’s no other place in the world where fruit covered shirts are beloved like they are in Vietnam. “Shitty Shirt” night is a common theme, so make sure to capture all the hilarity!

Not only are the Cu Chi Tunnels a place rich in history, but they’re also a unique spot to grab a fun Instagram pic. Squeeze your body into the tunnel’s opening, hold the cover over your head, and say bye-bye to the world above ground! But don’t forget to say cheese on your way out!
