Conde Nast Traveler (CNT) magazine has proclaimed three destinations in Vietnam among 50 most beautiful places in Asia.

Accordingly, Vietnam's Northern Sapa, Central Hoi An ancient town and Northern Ha Long Bay are on the list, said Vietnam National Administration of Tourism on its website on Tuesday.

Besides fresh and cool air, Sapa in northern Lao Cai province is famous both for its fine, rugged scenery and for its rich cultural diversity, according to the CNT's report.

Meanwhile, central Quang Nam province's Hoi An ancient town with mossy houses, wooden bridges and ancient wells is always a magic magnet for both Vietnamese and foreign tourists.

Moreover, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Quang Ninh province featuring thousands of limestone isles in various sizes and shapes.
