A Northern Vietnam travel guide revealing the breathtaking province of Hoa Binh. This is a guest post written by Liezl Bruwer, a South African expat living and teaching in Northern Vietnam. She lives, travels and eats vegan with her partner Andy.

Hoa Binh is becoming the next Halong Bay. It’s nestled away in an incredible display of mountains and rice paddies. It’s home to the largest manmade lake in Vietnam. Hoa Binh is directly translated to peace, and this province provides nothing else.
