                <description><![CDATA[This is a fab lodge about four hours drive from Hanoi in a beautiful valley. Very few tourists, good four-star accommodation and great food. We went cycling around local villages, saw different hill tribes, went to a cave and visited a local market. There were so few tourists compared to Sapa.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I loved this place, we actually ended up going back a second night. It's really fun, with a good mix of Vietnamese and western people. They serve food that is very different, i.e. you can get local food and if you are crazy you can get scorpion etc. They also have great home made rice wine. Their catfish spring rolls are to die for.  It is owned by an English guy who we met on our second night. Lovely place, very relaxed but also different.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I had no idea you can rock climb in halong bay until I was recommended it by my travel agent. Its amazing, better than Krabi and so much fun. Its beautiful, you can sleep in basic accommodation on an island, away from the crowds. They are super professional and great fun to learn with.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I was going to book my holiday with an agent in the UK but then a friend told me about Buffalo Tours. They are based in Vietnam and western managed and so much cheaper than going through an agent that would probably use all their services anyway. We booked direct with them, got exactly the same service but paid much less. They put together our own trip - everything from planning, guides, hotels was perfect.]]></description>
