Me and a friend are heading into Vietnam from China by bus and checking out a national park on the border, before going to Hanoi for some beer drinking and sight seeing. Will probably fly to Hue from Hanoi and check out the city, along with a day trip to the DMZ (Khe Sanh, Ho Chi Minh Trail, war cemetery, etc. Then we'll probably head to Hoi An for a day.
Beyond that we're needing some suggestions. We don't want to go to Saigon as we've both been there before, but would like to know of some nice places in the central or Northern parts of the country.
Does anybody have any ideas about a nice beach or island that'd be worth spending a day or two, or any other place that won't be overrun with tourists? We'll be heading back to Hanoi to catch the bus back into China so we're looking for somewhere North of Hue that's be worth seeing.
