Best places in Vietnam for food and nature

Hello everybody,

If you've travelled to Vietnam extensively, would you list your favorite places for food and nature? Interested in specifically in these two categories, no interest for shopping.

I've been to hcm 7 or 8x, and only stay in tan binh, near airport. I like to roam around riding a bike. So far haven't get pick pocketed or met any crimes. The taxi drivers, other than vinasun, like to pull a fast one. So you have to up your guard when you're there. But if you don't carry too much cash, donT wear flashy, and avoid using your phone by the side of the road, then its pretty safe. just rem, its not singapore, so just be more cautious.

Even though the distance between Hanoi and HCM isn't that far. But don't know why the flight ticket to Hanoi can be about double the price to HCM.

Can plan to fly to Ha Noi first, then explore the area, take domestic flight to Ho Chi Minh and fly back to Singapore from there.

dist between Hanoi and HCM is greater than distance between hcm and singapore. HCM is nearer to singapore than the capital.

maybe fewer competitors, fewer leisure travellers so chop biz travellers gao gao. hanoi is not a popular tourist destination among asians. only ang moh tourists like to go there.
