Nghe An Province in northern Vietnam is well known by tourists as the hometown of founding President Ho Chi Minh and a place of many historical and cultural wonders as well as beautiful, white-sand beaches.

Tourists looking for a seaside vacation can visit the province’s Cua Lo and Cua Hoi beaches. Cua Lo Tourism Centre, in particular, with  its natural beach extending ten kilometres through the Ngu and Mat Islets and Lan Chau Island, is a must-see destination for tourists who relish natural, rural beauty and enjoy fresh seafood.

In addition, tourists coming to Nghe An should not forget to visit hundreds of historical and cultural vestiges such as Cuong and Con Temples, Vac Village, the archaeological site in Nghia Dan District, and the historical ruins of Kim Lien.

Kim Lien, the village of “Uncle Ho,” about 12 kilometres from Vinh City, is a place closely connected with the former president’s childhood and extended family.

While spending time in Nghe An, tourists can stay at the two largest lodging accommodations in the province: The Saigon Kim Lien Hotel and the Saigon Kim Lien Resort.

The three-star Saigon Kim Lien Hotel is located in the heart of Vinh City, two kilometres from the railway station, seven kilometres from the airport and Cua Lo Beach, and 12 kilometres from the Kim Lien historical site.

The hotel has 77 rooms, two 30-seat meeting rooms, a banquet room and a conference room for 250 to 300 people, and it specializes in serving MICE guests in Vinh City.

The Saigon Kim Lien Resort is located right on Cua Lo Beach, an ideal place to relax and unwind in Nghe An Province. Being the first four-star tourism zone in Nghe An and the north-central part of Vietnam, this luxury resort with a large conference centre is ranked as one of the country’s top resorts.

The Saigon Kim Lien Resort has a sea view of Cua Lo Beach and is about 500 meters from Lan Chau Island, which was chosen by the French as the ideal location for their vacation villas.

The Saigon Kim Lien Resort has a total area of 11,000 square meters divided into many small services such as 80 rooms, an entertainment service, a sports service, a culinary garden, a conference room with a capacity for 360 people, a meeting room with a capacity for 30 people, a banquet room with a capacity for 400 people, an outdoor swimming pool and more.

At the Saigon Kim Lien Hotel and the Saigon Kim Lien Resort, apart from stay-in services, these two places offer many tourist programs to introduce the numerous famous spots in Nghe An and to establish tours to neighbouring regions like the Hanoi-Cua Lo-Vinh tour, Dong Loc crossroads in Nghe Tinh Province, Phong Nha-Ke Bang Caverns in Quang Binh Province, one of the world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO, or tours to discover the wonders of neighbouring Laos.
