The Red (Hong/Yuan) River

The Red River, or Sông Hồng, flows through the heart of northern Vietnam and southern China, offering travellers a journey through rich history, vibrant culture, and picturesque landscapes. Originating in the mountains of Yunnan, China, the river winds its way through dramatic gorges and lush valleys before entering Vietnam. In Hanoi, Vietnam’s bustling capital, the Red River provides a scenic backdrop to the city’s historic architecture, bustling markets, and vibrant street life. The river’s fertile delta supports vast rice paddies, forming the backbone of the region’s agriculture and offering stunning vistas of verdant fields. Towns along the river, such as Hai Phong, boast colonial architecture and bustling ports.

Please note that the estimated temperature, rainfall and recommended months of when to go are based on Hanoi’s weather patterns
