Vietnam, a world of unlimited possibilities, is a very beautiful and attractive country on earth. There are many beautiful places to visit in Vietnam. I visited a few of them, and those places caught my attention. I really enjoy those places, and I like to visit there again and again. One way to enjoy the natural beauty of Vietnam is by traveling to Vietnam, but if someone wants to study abroad in Vietnam can also enjoy its beauty. I’d like to talk about the weekend getaway places for visiting when studying at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT – Bach Khoa).

VUNG TAU CITY

Vung Tau is a beautiful place for visiting on weekends. It’s a beautiful city situated alongside the beach. The city enjoys a spectacular location on a peninsula, with ocean on three sides; the light and sea air makes it a refreshing break from sultry Saigon. Many foreigners are going there to enjoy the beauty and refreshing environment.

HO TRAM BEACH

Ho Tram beach is a relaxing beach break only two hours from Ho Chi Minh City. The resort is a stylized traditional village, with winding stone paths leading to the various bungalows and villas, swimming pools, tranquil ponds, and the beach. This place is alluring and attracts the attention of foreigners especially.

DALAT

Dalat is one of the beautiful places in Vietnam. That looks like a dream planet on earth. The surroundings of Delta are covered by stunning farms that makes it much more attractive. Dalat is appropriate for spending weekend to relax the mind and body. If I have the chance, I would spend my every weekend in Dalat.

After a long week at study, you are probably looking for a weekend trip away from the traffic and the noise in Ho Chi Minh City. You daydream while studying about a nice relaxing getaway, and you are not the only one! There are so many places around Ho Chi Minh City which you can explore. Pack your luggage and go!
