Y Ty – Vietnam among best-kept Secrets of Asian Travel
It’d be easy to say that Asia’s unbelievable travel secrets are, thanks to the Internet, a dying breed — but it’s just not true. Sure, the entire continent was once a full-on nomadic backpacking adventure — and now you can stay in five-star hotels and eat pizza almost anywhere — but there are still plenty of extraordinary places for those looking to ramble. And Y Ty of Vietnam is among them. It has been named in obscure Asian destinations by Thrillist.com.
Why you need to go: Y Ty sits atop Vietnam’s highest plateau, offering spectacular views of cloud-reaching mountains and yellow rice patty fields. If you want to experience rural Vietnam without straying far from the tourist center of Sapa, this is your spot.
The one must-do thing: Get to know locals at Y Ty’s market, where surrounding ethnic tribes sell traditional crafts and agricultural goods.
Tips before visiting: if you are planning a visit to Y Ty and other destinations of Vietnam from your country, checking Vietnam visa requirement is the very first thing you should do. In case a Vietnam visa is required, you may consider two following options to decide the best for you:
- Apply for visa at a local Vietnam embassy; OR
- Apply for Vietnam visa on arrival for convenience.
When to visit: You can visit Y Ty at any time you wish as each season offers this place a special beauty.
