Among my proudest moments was the privilege of guiding Australian Prime Minister, Ms. Hon Julia Gillard MP, during her visit to Vietnam in 2010, as well as accompanying United States Trade Representative, Mr. Jon Kirk, during his visit in 2012. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of Vietnam but also strengthened my commitment to providing authentic insights about Vietnam to friends from all over the world.

Ha Long Bay is arguably Vietnam's most recognised landscape, boasting over 1, 600 limestone islands and islets. Located in northern Vietnam, the UNESCO-listed bay features a wide range of biodiversity, while the surrealistic scenery has been featured in plenty of films throughout the years. Needless to say, it's a must-visit for any first-time visitor to Vietnam.

Undoubtedly, Halong Bay is one of the greatest attractions in Vietnam, where you can kayak on the emerald-blue waters; enjoy fresh local seafood and other delights and, of course, capture the magnificent landscape, whether it is sunrise or sunset.
