Introduction about Dong Hoi City Travel Guide

Dong Hoi city was officially established in 2004. Between Ho Chi Minh Road and National Highway 1A, Dong Hoi city is increasingly invested in development and has built many outstanding projects. Dong Hoi is the cultural, economic, and political center of Quang Binh province. With its advantages, this place has attracted a lot of tourists to visit.

How to get to Dong Hoi?

According to Dong Hoi Travel Guide, many means of transport make it easy for visitors to move here, such as:

Train: Many people choose this means of transport because of its safety, convenience, and reasonable fare. However, it will take you a long time to travel by this means. The advice for you when traveling by this means is to choose the departure time frame in the evening, take a nap, and you will see your destination quickly. 

Bus: The road to Dong Hoi Quang Binh is very convenient and easy to go, but it will take a long time to move, especially for North and South visitors. Therefore, this is only an option for those who have a lot of time traveling or living near Quang Binh.

Airplane: This is a suitable means for you to save travel time when traveling to Quang Binh. Domestic airlines will provide non-stop flights to Dong Hoi – Quang Binh airport. If you hunt for tickets on the right promotional occasions, the price is meager, and there are many attractive incentives.

When is the best time time to travel to Dong Hoi

Dong Hoi Quang Binh has a tropical monsoon climate, so the weather here is divided into two distinct seasons: dry and rainy. The dry season starts from April to August, with an average of 36 – 37 degrees Celsius. The remaining months from September to December are the rainy season, with abundant and dense rainfall.

The ideal time for tourists to visit the region is around April and May. In this lovely weather, no rain, but not sunny. If you come to Quang Binh to bathe in the sea or stream, the time from June to July is appropriate, because at this time the weather is hot, so you can comfortably soak in the cool water.

There are often heavy rains and storms in the last months, especially from October to November. If traveling to Quang Binh, you need to capture specific weather information to choose the most appropriate time for the trip.

Things to do in Dong Hoi

According to Dong Hoi travel experience, this place has many attractive destinations for you, including a few typical ones that I will introduce right below:

Nhat Le Beach

At first sight, Nhat Le Beach conquers visitors by its endless stretch of white sand, impressive sea background, and turquoise sky. Here you can comfortably lie back on the hammock watching the waves lapping, or you can also soak in the cool water. This beach is an ideal destination for you when you can breathe in the fresh air and admire the beauty of nature.

If you set foot in Nhat Le beach, do not rush to miss the opportunity to watch the sunrise at sea or the fiery sunset, images of fishing boats sailing offshore. What a peaceful scene right in the middle of a bustling city.

Quang Phu Sand Dunes

Quang Phu Sand Dunes is with inherent wild beauty. From above, the dunes look like a colorful picture in the shimmering sunlight. Quang Phu dune is not beautiful and luxurious, but it attracts visitors with the most rustic and sincere things.

Quang Phu Sand Dunes have sand patterns that are changed daily and hourly by the impact of sea breezes. In the early morning, when everything is still sleepy, the dunes are pure white, smooth, but when the sun is shining, the sand is shimmering yellow. When the afternoon falls, the sand is gray and white. It’s wondrous. That is why many people call this place the paradise of Quang Binh.

In the tremendous center of the cave, the sultry feeling of the central heat immediately disappeared. Also, from here, a fascinating world will appear in front of your eyes. Go deep into the caves on a dugout boat floating on the water to discover the shimmering and fanciful stalactites.

Stalactites in Thien Duong Cave are a perfect work of art. Some stalactites look like a hanging curtain, or some newly formed stalactites are still moist with water vapor. Others are like a fountain frozen in the flow of time.
