The South of Vietnam: The temperature is constant all year, ranging from 77-86° F/ 25-30° C. The dry season is from November to April of next year and the wet period from May to October. Saigon or Ho Chi Minh city is the biggest city in the south of Vietnam. The city was under the French control.

However, the top destination in the south of Vietnam is not in the city itself but Mekong delta where you have unbelievable experience on daily life of the locals, discover their floating houses, floating markets.....

The Central Vietnam: The hot season is about 2°C or 3°C hotter than the north temperature. Its rainy season falls in between September and December. Especially, the central is sometimes hit by typhoon with strong wind and heavy rain. However, the center Vietnam is the perfect combination of relaxing on beautiful golden sand beaches and the history of Vietnam with three UNESCO world heritage sites. The first is mysterious Myson – the holly Champa kingdom(dated back from the 3rd century to 13th century). The second is the ancient Hoian town where commercial activities was dominated by Japanese and Chinese merchants. Many of them settled in Fai Fo, where each community maintained their own governor, legal code and strong cultural identity.
