In January 2025, my wife and I visited Vietnam as a stopover during our big trip before flying to New Zealand. Vietnam is especially popular among landscape photographers in September, as the rice fields are in full color and the rainy season has just ended, making the waterfalls flow beautifully. Even in January, there is plenty to see in this stunning country, such as the impressive Ban Gioc Waterfalls, Train Street in Hanoi, and the picturesque Phong Nam.
