Traveling to Vietnam in the first months of the year...
Vietnam's climate is complex, fickle and subject to two monsoons. Each wave affects different regions and at different times. Depending on the region and the month of the year, Vietnam can experience hot and humid summers, cold winters, long dry seasons, storms and drizzle. So how to enjoy traveling in such complex weather conditions? Let's find out with OST Vietnam!
Vietnam weather is very complicated and changeable
The 1st quarter
- Weather conditions: southern dry season, northeast monsoon, northern winter & 'drizzle'
- Where to go: South Sea & Island, Central Highlands, Ho Chi Minh City
- Where to avoid: Northern and central provinces & cities
Most of the central and northern regions are subject to the northeast monsoon, and popular central cities such as Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue can be quite bleak in the first few months of the year. Farther north, the Red River Delta region – which includes Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and some northern mountainous regions – experiences months of persistent drizzle. In the mountains of the northwest and northeast of the nation, frost forms on the highest peaks, passes and plateaus bordering China, and in some places even snow.
From January to March, the southern provinces of Vietnam experience the dry season .
Meanwhile, this is the perfect time to travel to explore the southern provinces of Vietnam. From Nha Trang to Phu Quoc island, the conditions are excellent: clear blue sky, warm sunshine, low relative humidity, cool mornings and evenings. On Phu Quoc Island, the water surface is calm, clear and cool. The same goes for neighboring islands and archipelagos scattered across Vietnam's territory in the Gulf of Thailand, such as Hon Son and Nam Du.

This is also the most ideal time to explore the mountains, highlands and Central Highlands. Daytime temperatures in the mountains are at least 10°C lower than in the coastal areas, but at night the temperature drops even further, sometimes into single digits. Exploring the vast and rich landscapes of the Central Highlands on two wheels is a great way to enjoy the first quarter of the year.

From January to March, the highland is dry, fertile, fragrant with coffee flowers and wood smoke. Finally, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) is most beautiful in the first month or two of the year. Cool mornings and nights make the city much more pleasant than other times of the year. In January, you can walk around the alleys of the city, explore the markets or sit on the sidewalk to enjoy the famous street food of Saigon without feeling hot and sweaty.

As the southern dry season peaks, temperatures begin to soar: humidity rises, the air thickens and becomes stifling.

In the northernmost region of Vietnam, the ravishing landscape of Ha Giang is gradually emerging after a cold, barren winter. Landscape of limestone peaks, bobbing up and down like petrified waves. At an altitude of 1,500m above sea level, the temperature can still be a bit chilly but this is the most ideal time of the year to visit Sapa town, enjoy the mountain views and even climb to the top of Fansipan, The highest mountain peak in the country, known as the Roof of Indochina.

Ha Giang is the most beautiful in spring
Most impressive at this time of year are the verdant landscapes of Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Mai Chau Valley and Moc Chau Plateau, all southwest of Hanoi. In the warm, clear conditions of April and May, you can best experience this wonderland by riding a motorbike and staying at a homestay. Terraced fields adorn the valleys, bamboo forests whisper on the hillside, rivers and lakes and waterfalls are clean and clear, not clouded by the flow from summer rains.
There is no place more beautiful than Pu Luong nature reserve in spring
