Below are suggestions for tourist destinations from North to South that can be scheduled for 3 - 4 days of fun.
North
The Northwest is a region with many famous tourist destinations for visitors to enjoy the cool weather, watch the peach and plum blossoms bloom to welcome early spring such as Moc Chau (Son La); Mai Chau (Hoa Binh); Sa Pa, Y Ty, Bac Ha (Lao Cai); Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai)...
The typical Northeast route is the Ha Giang loop that passes through Dong Van, Meo Vac, and Quan Ba districts, taking visitors to explore indigenous culture and admire spring flowers.
In the cold season, in high places such as mountain peaks and high mountainous areas such as Sa Pa, Y Ty (Lao Cai); Mau Son (Lang Son); Phia Oac (Cao Bang)... tourists can admire the magical scenery covered in ice and snow.
Central region
Hue - Da Nang - Hoi An is the "golden route" for tourists who want to explore the Central region. Especially this year, Hue has become a centrally-governed city and will be the focus of many events of the National Tourism Year and Hue Festival 2025.
Da Nang - Hoi An is a place that can be easily traveled from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City by train or plane, has many beautiful beaches, and rich cuisine, making it a great place for tourists to plan their spring trip.
Nha Trang and Da Lat are the two cities that are predicted to be the most searched by tourists for the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday. Tourists can spend 2-3 days in each of these cities or combine both destinations in one Tet tour because the travel time is less than 3 hours.
Southern
Phu Quoc is the first island city in Vietnam and is also a destination for the Lunar New Year holiday with a series of cultural events to welcome the new year. Phu Quoc meets both the accommodation needs and diverse experiences for domestic and foreign tourists. In Phu Quoc alone, tourists can stay for 3 - 4 days.
The warm weather in the West is suitable for going on tours to explore garden life, enjoy cuisine at floating markets in Can Tho, Ca Mau, Soc Trang, or visit bustling Tet flower villages in Ben Tre, Dong Thap...
In addition, Southern tourists on Tet holiday should consider tourist cities and nearby coastal areas such as Vung Tau, Phan Thiet, Nam Du island, Phu Quy island...
