With its striking landscapes, gripping history, and rich culture, Vietnam is astoundingly exotic, absolutely compelling, and is full of unforgettable experiences for guests to enjoy. It’s a country with a stunning natural beauty and a distinctive heritage which keeps visitors coming back for more, the article wrote.
From the hustle and bustle of Hanoi to the breathtaking waters of Ha Long Bay, one of Asia’s most spectacular sights, wherever travelers choose to go they are in for an incredible adventure, Time Out reported.
Laos, which is widely considered to be an unspoiled gem of Southeast Asia, took the lead. Learning to cook local dishes in a cooking class, taking a boat trip down Nam Ou river, experiencing the stunning scenery at Kuang Si Waterfall, and exploring the Pak Ou Caves are all wonderful experiences for those looking to enjoy a Christmas holiday in Laos.
Third position went to Thailand, an enthralling land of lush mountains, emerald green rice paddies, pristine beaches, jungle-clad mountains, oversized Buddha’s, and majestic temples. All of this combines to make it an excellent choice for a Christmas adventure.
Cambodia and Myanmar came fourth and fifth, respectively.
Asia is at the top of the list for many travelers to celebrate an unforgettable Christmas away from home. The region combines all of the essential ingredients of the perfect adventure holiday, boasting aspects like nature, culture, history, food, and plenty of outdoor activities, according to the British publication.
