Vietnam in $650s-$750s RT

Alright Dallas, here's the scoop. 

If you've been planning to head for Vietnam's northly landscapes like Sapa and Ha Giang and just calling it a day, that's one heck of a rookie mistake. 

Y'all are seriously sleeping on Cao Bang. This region is often overlooked but it's got views that could easily steal the spotlight on any travel magazine. Think UNESCO-level landscapes and plunging waterfalls. 

The best way to take it all in? Motorbike. Nothing beats the freedom of the open road as you weave past corners the guidebooks don't even touch. And if you're worried about where to stay?

Don't be. There are homestays everywhere; they give you a genuine slice of local life and will rent you a bike to boot! 

On the way you'll zip past bustling markets, stop by blacksmithing villages (part of a government push to bring tourism back to rural communities) and explore some absolutely wondrous caves.

Sapa who?
