Is northern Vietnam better or southern?

North vs. South Vietnam: Which is Better?

Okay, so North vs. South Vietnam, huh? Lemme tell ya, it’s not a simple answer. I get confused even thinking about it! It totally depends on what you’re into, ya know?

North Vietnam: Mountains, history, cooler. South Vietnam: Beaches, modern, warmer.

Honestly, I loved the North. Like, Sapa took my breath away with those rice terraces. Remember hiking there Oct ’18? Paid maybe $30 for a guide… worth it.

Hanoi’s Old Quarter? So much history there. And I dug the slightly cooler weather, even if it was a bit nippy.

Then there’s the South. Ho Chi Minh City is like, boom, vibrant! I remember stumbling around, trying to find the Ben Thanh Market.

Plus, Phu Quoc’s beaches? Paradise, seriously. Think I paid $20 a night for a basic bungalow right on the sand. And all that fresh seafood!

The Mekong Delta… so lush! But I gotta be honest, the heat got to me sometimes. I prefered the North, but my friend loved it down south. I think I prefer the North with the mountains. The cooler temperature there is a plus.

Food wise? Both are amazing. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it all. Guess it just boils down to what you want.
