Halong bay
Hospitable country with tropical nature, delicious food, cheap diving and surfing.

Therefore, choose a hotel cheaper, but with a convenient location - you will not want to sit by the pool.

Nha Trang is the most developed, interesting and fairly budget resort in Vietnam. In winter, the low season is here, but the good beach weather starts in February.

Vacationing in Rio de Janeiro in winter is a dream come true: the ocean, tropical nature, authentic culture and countless attractions.
