    Looking for the best pho restaurant in Hanoi
    The best experiences in “amazing Vietnam”

    Pho (noodle) is a traditional dish that is considered typical Vietnamese cuisine. From north to south, Pho is preferred by local people and foreign tourists. However, to taste and feel the original flavor of Pho, all will lead to Hanoi pho, the noticeable feature of Hanoi cuisine culture and the pride of Hanoians.

    Each pho restaurant in the capital city has its own esoteric recipes. And the hunt for good pho restaurants in Hanoi is also an interesting experience for all visitors.

    Nestled among French-style buildings in the Old Quarter, the best pho restaurants often have simple looks, simple tables and chairs, and luscious pots of broth. The address definitely not to be missed on this list is Pho Thin Lo Duc restaurant with a very special ‘smoky’ taste of stir-fried beef noodle.

    Exploring the world’s largest cave

    Son Doong Cave is the world’s largest natural cave, housing many limestone grottoes, stalactites and stalagmites. Set within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in the central province of Quang Binh, the cave is a must visit for adventurous travellers.

    Son Doong cave was first discovered in 1991 by a local named Ho Khanh, followed by a team of British cavers lead by Howard Limbert in 2009. With sections reaching up to 200 metres high, Son Doong Cave also spans 9 km in length, making it the largest natural cave in the world.
