Hong Kong paper South China Morning Post has actually named Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and also Hoi A town amongst the globe’s finest vacationer destinations showing up on banknotes.
The 20,000-dong banknotes are adorned with a picture of the Japanese Pagoda Bridge, a symbol of Hoi An.
Built by Japanese traders in the 17th century, the bridge covers 18 meters over a canal that faces the Thu Bon River. There is a tiny shrine built at one end of the bridge in 1653 that provides it its name.
The limestone mountains in Ha Long Bay show up on VND200,000 bills.

The perfect time to visit the natural marvel is between March as well as April and also September as well as November because there is little rainfall and cruise ship conditions are near best.
