Climate
Because of geographical location and its length, vietnam's climate varies, changes from the South to the North. Also affected by the height of terrain, the South is normally cooler than the North and has 4 seasons with the range of temperature between 8*C ~ 40*C depending on time. Opposite to that, Ho Chi Minh has 2 seasons, raining season and dry one and it is always hot. The sea also takes part in changing the climate, provinces which are located nearer to the sea used to have much more pleasant weather than others. Such as Ha Long - Quang Ninh, even higher than Ha Noi in sea heigh level, but Ha Noi is much colder in Winter. Diversity of climate is one of the reasons why European tourists choose Vietnam.
