How It Ranks

Vietnam shares its borders with Cambodia, Laos and the South China Sea, but it shines bright enough to land on this list. The densely populated country has incredibly beautiful landscapes. Here you’ll find emerald island coves, big beaches and lush jungles. Don’t miss the chance to see the Golden Bridge, a 492-foot pedestrian bridge held up by two giant sculpted hands!
Even more noteworthy than Vietnam’s landscapes is its food. Vietnamese cuisine is considered some of the healthiest in the world. They like to use a lot of fresh ingredients, including seafood, vegetables and herbs.
