For those who are passionate about traveling, caravan is one of the most exciting forms of tourism. With the characteristic of self-driving road travel, caravan participants can proactively choose the route, stops, forms of rest and entertainment, experiences along the way as well as destinations..., not depending too much on pre-arranged programs like when participating in a regular tour. Thanks to that, caravan participants can enjoy the feeling of conquest when crossing passes, mountains or adventurous corners, while slowly feeling the beauty of nature passing by outside the car window.

Although it has a long history in the world, caravan has only been introduced to Vietnam in recent years and is not yet popular because organizing a caravan is not simple, not only does it require many professional skills of the organizer but each member of the caravan must also be an experienced traveler to be able to bring a successful, safe and interesting journey.

"Return to the Central" is a caravan trip organized by the UNESCO Travel Club and the Hanoi Department of Tourism with the participation of 40 members. The 6-day journey from Hanoi runs through the provinces of Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien - Hue and ends in Quang Nam. Instead of running through National Highway 1, the "Return to the Central" caravan chose to go through the Ho Chi Minh trail because this is not only a legendary road with deep historical significance but also has beautiful natural scenery, an ideal choice for a journey of discovery.

Along the 1,000 km journey from Hanoi to Quang Nam, the "Return to Central Vietnam" caravan passed many legendary places that every tourist who loves Vietnam must visit once in their life such as Ngang Pass, Hai Van Pass, Lang Co, My Khe Beach, Hue Imperial City, Hoi An Ancient Town... and also monuments marking heroic history such as Hien Luong Bridge, Ho Chi Minh Square (Quang Binh), Quang Tri Ancient Citadel...
Below, Travellive+ would like to introduce some images on the journey back to the Central region recorded by members of the caravan. Hopefully these images will contribute to inspiring Vietnamese tourists, and at the same time join hands to help tourism in the Central region recover in the near future.
