“Ha Long Bay’s stunning combination of karst limestone peaks and sheltered, shimmering seas is one of Vietnam’s top tourist draws,” says Lonely Planet. It also suggests that tourists book an overnight cruise and make time for their own special moments whilst at the World Heritage site. This includes rising early for an ethereal misty dawn or piloting a kayak into grottoes and lagoons.

Second place in the list goes Son Doong, one of the world's largest caves located in the heart of Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park. “The images of ant-like travelers shining head torches around the vast, empty caverns tug on the wanderlust strings; however, unless you have a cool $3000 to spend on a tour, you won’t be able to enter this subterranean marvel,” the US outlet shares.
