Pleiku – The best sleeping city in Vietnam

Sleep tourism - this phrase has skyrocketed since the pandemic and since then, many tourism establishments have concentrated a lot of infrastructure to serve people who are sleep deprived. If you intend to "join" this trend in Vietnam, you can consider one of these cities in Central Vietnam: Pleiku City. The destination is worth experiencing because of the typical natural scenery, unique cuisine and especially the extremely pleasant climate. Because of the ideal temperature, this place is known as the "best sleeping" city in Vietnam. Photo: Nine Doan With an average annual temperature of only about 23 degrees Celsius, the hottest summer is only 33 degrees Celsius, and the coldest winter is 8 degrees Celsius, this place is ideal for sleeping. It is even easier to fall asleep here because of the high hilly terrain, so there is fresh air. Both locals and tourists who have visited Pleiku admit that the weather here is difficult to wake anyone who is sleeping. Photo: Nguyen Chi Nam While giving us a quality sleep and fresh air, Pleiku is also named "city for health". Not as famous as Da Lat or Sapa, Ha Giang, but in the mountain town there are many special features, attracting a large number of tourists to visit. Bien Ho or T'nung Lake (Ea Nueng Lake) is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Central Highlands, worthy of the name "The eyes of Pleiku Bien Ho are full". The Pleiku landscape also has vertical slopes, pine forests or Chu Dang Ya volcano. The best time to visit this place is definitely from December to March because this time there will be coffee flowers and wildflowers blooming all over the beautiful plateau. The wildflower season on Chu Dang Ya volcano makes many tourists and backpackers fascinated when traveling to Gia Lai. Photo: Shutter stock Sleep tourism has grown strongly around the world. In stark contrast to traditional forms of tourism, sleep tourism offers visitors very different experiences. Instead of visiting here, you will focus on using services that meet your sleep needs.
