- the months of April and October as they are dry but not stifling.
- How Long?
- Two to three days.
- Trivia
- Ho Chi Minh was born only 10 miles west of Vinh.
Vinh has successfully kept an old charm with its broad streets and lofty buildings. At night-time, the community spills out onto the streets and merges in Ho Chi Minh Square to sip coffee and drink beer while chatting among themselves in one of the many cafés in Vinh.
With its ideal location between Hue and Hanoi, Vinh is a good place to break the long journey up between these cities. The city is looking to get away from the concrete jungle that it has portrayed for 30 years by planting new trees that line the roads and by edging the lakes with greenery.
