I've been planning a solo trip to Vietnam next month, and everyone keeps telling me to skip the big cities and head straight to the countryside. But honestly, I'm torn because I love street food and night markets, which seem more authentic in places like Hanoi or HCMC. Have you found that rural areas offer a better cultural experience, or do touristy spots still have their charm? I'm trying to figure out where to spend most of my time without missing out on genuine local life.
