Vietnam is quickly becoming a must-see destination for international travelers. Tourists are drawn to Vietnam for its beaches, historical monuments, challenging mountain excursions, and distinctive food. Lonely Planet, a well-known travel magazine, has highlighted three sites in Vietnam that are both culturally significant and offer stunning natural beauty, but few people are aware of them.

Buon Ma Thuot

Buon Ma Thuot is a must-see for coffee lovers visiting Vietnam. This city, located in the Central Highlands, is known for its coffee culture and is considered a coffee mecca. Visitors may take tours of coffee estates, savor the scent of freshly roasted coffee beans, and even learn how to prepare their own cup of Vietnamese coffee.

In addition to coffee, visitors to Buon Ma Thuot may observe the lovely natural surroundings. Dray Nur and Dray Sap waterfall clusters are approximately 25 kilometers from Buon Ma Thuot city on Highway 14. Nature has gifted a stunning and beautiful cluster of waterfalls on Dak Lak. The lush vegetation and the sound of rushing water made for a stunning setting. 

Ea Kao Lake is another must-see destination for travelers. The lake is far from the city core. Buon Ma Thuot is located in Ea Kao commune, 12 kilometers to the southeast. Ea Kao Lake retains its wild nature. A complex ecology exists under the lake, home to several freshwater fish and shrimp species. The lake is surrounded by mountains with lush vegetation and woods.
