Central Vietnam, with its trifecta of Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An, unfolds like a captivating story of history, breathtaking landscapes, and a culinary journey that is nothing short of a sensory masterpiece. In this travelogue, we delve into the vibrant tapestry of these cities, spotlighting their picturesque landscapes, stunning views, and a colorful array of culinary delights.
Beautiful Landscape: A Visual Symphony
The journey begins in Hue, the imperial city steeped in history. Nestled along the Perfume River, Hue is adorned with ancient citadels, pagodas, and imperial tombs that transport visitors to a bygone era. The Perfume River itself, reflecting the azure sky and surrounding greenery, adds a serene charm to the landscape.
Moving to Da Nang, the Marble Mountains stand tall as sentinels, offering panoramic views of the city and the coastline. The pristine beaches, such as My Khe, showcase golden sands against a backdrop of azure waters and lush greenery. The Ba Na Hills, with its golden bridge held by giant stone hands, elevate the scenic beauty to an enchanting level.
Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage site, enchants with its well-preserved ancient town. Lantern-lit streets, colonial architecture, and the Thu Bon River create a magical ambiance. The nearby paddy fields, adorned with conical hats of farmers, add a touch of rustic charm to the landscape.
Amazing Views: A Feast for the Eyes
In Da Nang, the Dragon Bridge comes alive at night, spewing fire and water, creating a spectacle that mesmerizes onlookers. The cityscape from the summit of the Ba Na Hills is a breathtaking tableau, especially during sunset when the hills are bathed in hues of orange and pink.
Hue's Imperial City, a UNESCO site, offers awe-inspiring views of intricate palaces, pavilions, and the iconic Perfume River. The Hai Van Pass, a scenic coastal route connecting Hue and Da Nang, unveils a mesmerizing panorama of the South China Sea, lush mountains, and coastal villages.
Hoi An's Lantern Festival turns the ancient town into a sea of colorful lights, transforming it into a visual spectacle. The view from the Thu Bon River, with lanterns reflecting in the water, is a photographer's dream.
Colorful Cuisine: A Gastronomic Adventure
Central Vietnam's culinary scene is a symphony of colors and flavors. Hue, known for its imperial cuisine, boasts dishes like bun bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) and banh khoai (savory fried pancake). Da Nang offers a seafood extravaganza, with colorful markets showcasing the day's catch and vibrant street food stalls.
Hoi An, a culinary haven, entices with its signature dishes like cao lau (a noodle dish with pork and herbs) and com ga (chicken rice). The night market, with its array of street food, is a kaleidoscope of colors and aromas.
The journey through Hue, Da Nang, and Hoi An is a sensory expedition, where the eyes feast on breathtaking landscapes, the soul is enriched by historical treasures, and the taste buds dance to the colorful symphony of Central Vietnamese cuisine. These cities, each unique in their offerings, converge to create an unforgettable travel experience that is a celebration of nature, history, and culinary artistry

Trip to Vietnam and Cambodia
We would like to highly recommend Funny Travel as travel agency to arrange a trip as you desire. We asked Joe to help us arrange a honeymoon trip for 3 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia. He did everything and sent us a done schedule with every fine details (activities, flights, hotels, guides, drivers, meals etc.). From the moment we arrived, we didn't have to worry about nothing (pick up from and to an airports/hotels, a local sim, money exchange, advises, making sure daily that we are ok and if we need anything). A very big appriciation to Joe, Vicky and their staff, everything they did for us was above and beyond. It was a pleasure. We absolutely sure that whoever will choose Funny Travel, will not regret. Thank you again for a perfect honeymoon, Ovad and Angela

Motorcycle city and street food tour
Loved it, loved it, loved it. We organised a tour with Joe at the last minute but our guide and 3 drivers turned up at 9am the following morning. Our guide Chien was very knowledgeable and made it a fantastic day for us. He had a great personality and sense of humour and the street food we tried was beautiful. Joe has gone out of his way to help us with anything we needed. He is a wealth of information and local knowledge. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with Funny Travel. They have a tour to suit everyone. I highly recommend Funny Travel.

Funny Travel made our trip amazing!
WOW, where to start. We had the most amazing experience in Vietnam with Vicky and the Funny Travel staff and there is no way we would have had such an incredible experience without their expertise. From the moment we booked Vicky communicated with us about what we hoped for in our 8 day trip in North Vietnam and now at the conclusion of our trip we are so happy because of the incredible experience they arranged. Everything was thoughtful and we'll orchestrated - we had great accommodations everywhere (including a homestay in an ethnic village near Sa Pa), we had AMAZING GUIDES!!! (thank you Thuc, Ben, and Hieu) and they were so knowledgeable of the communities and places we were visiting, Vicky set us up with a Sim card which made communication easy, she checked in and helped us easily get things done to make our trip more comfortable (arranging laundry, mail, etc), showed us amazing food and answered every question, and all around was so warm and welcoming. It was an incredible trip because of Funny Travel. We 100% recommend and plan to use Funny Travel again when we are back in Asia!

Tour Halong Bay e Sapa
Dopo aver visto le varie recensioni positive, ci siamo rivolti pure noi a questa agenzia. All'ultimo minuto Vicky è riuscita ad organizzarci due giorni e una notte in crociera alla baia di Halong e tre giorni e due notti alle risaie terrazzate di Sapa. Tutto organizzato al meglio: trasporti comodissimi, hotel al top, guide simpaticissime e sempre disponibili, escursioni e attività molto piacevoli, abbiamo trascorso anche una notte in una homestay a sapa ed è stato davvero tutto perfetto. Un paese molto interessante abitato da persone gentilissime. Se volete andare sul sicuro rivolgetevi anche voi a questa agenzia!! Super raccomandata!!

We were lucky enough to come across Joe and he offered a street food tour to us. He and his colleague Ken took us on a tour trying all different types of food in the old quarter. He was also full of information about his country, we had a fantastic day and highly recommend Joe and his team. Great value for money.

Buen hacer y excelente trato
Si quieres evitar agencias sospechosamente baratas y no te importa pagar un poco más, esta es una excelente opcion. Muy atentos en el trato, tanto a la hora de la contratación como durante el tour. Hicimos un tour de un día sin prisas, a nuestro ritmo, con un guía muy agradable y seguimos exactamente el recorrido que queríamos dedicando el tiempo que considerábamos necesario. ¿Hay otras agencias más baratas? Sí, las hay, pero a veces por unos pocos dólares no merece la pena arriesgarte con sorpresas que puedan estropear tus ilusiones. Con esta agencia te quedará un muy buen recuerdo de un día irrepetible, en nuestro caso en Mua Cave y Tam Cốc.
