Quang Binh has a tropical monsoon climate, a profound differentiation of topography, and is influenced by the transitional environment between our country’s North and the South. There are two distinct seasons: the rainy season and the dry season.
The dry season is from April to August. The average temperature is 32-38°C. This is the best time to plan to explore Quang Binh.
The rainy season is from September to March, bringing the heaviest rainfalls in September, October, and November. January to March is the ideal time to enjoy the springs rejuvenating beauty in Quang Binh.
During this time, you can both go up to the forest and go down to the sea, which brings a diverse sense of joy. The weather is ideal for exploring the enchanting beauty of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, conquering and discovering the most magnificent caves in the world.
– Besides fun activities at Nhat Le and Bao Ninh Beach, you can immerse yourself in the cool, clear water at eco-tourism sites like Chay River, Dark cave, and Mooc spring. Or test your physical limits with adventure tours such as exploring Tu Lan, Kong sinkhole, or taking a trek in Son Doong cave.
– Although the temperature is relatively high in June, July, and August, the wind blows from the sea, which helps quell the sweltering noonday sun.
– In Dong Hoi, you can participate in sand-boarding at Quang Phu sand-dunes at sunset. Take part in the thrills of sliding down from above, feeling the layers of fine white sand clinging to your body, spreading out in space, and harmony with the immensity and majesty of nature. A fabulous game for those who keep good balance, and love a good thrill.
– Sunset in Phong Nha is also worth a trip. You can choose a sunset cruise on the Son River. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get closer to the lives of local people every afternoon, accompanied by exciting water activities at Shallow Reef such as kayaking, swimming, etc. Sitting on the boat, watching the sun disappear behind the limestone mountains, has the power to relax even the highest strung individuals.
– The evening atmosphere in Dong Hoi is both calm and bustling. It’s a great opportunity for you to walk or ride the tram around the city and watch the shimmering scenery at night while saying hello to friendly locals.
Rainy season, sometimes brings cold snaps lasting 5-10 days, the temperature can drop sharply to around 8°C. When it rains, the whole city seems to become quieter and more peaceful. At this time, a thick mist appears every early morning, creating a beautiful dreamy scene for this peaceful land.
You can choose a lovely cafe corner with a panoramic view of the city.
– A great idea might be to visit spiritual tourist sites such as the grave of General Vo Nguyen Giap, the temple of Mrs. Lieu Hanh, Hoang Phuc pagoda, Tam Co cave, etc., at this time.
– You will also have the opportunity to enjoy Quang Binh specialties at lower prices. A bowl of hot porridge soup when the weather is chilly will make you nostalgic forever!
* At this time, your backpack should have a raincoat, a jacket, and a water-proof pair of shoes or boots.
