Yes, you read it right. If you think Brazil is just all about beaches, tans, and bikinis, you better think twice.

2. Vietnam
Vietnam, just like Brazil, may seem like an odd choice, but you’ll be surprised to know that our neighbor country can give you total chills with its temperatures that can go as low as negative five degrees Celsius.
During winter, Sapa has been amazingly experiencing plenty of whiteout in recent years. During winter, its lush landscapes are covered with glistening white snow making Vietnam’s favorite mountainous playground into a winter wonderland.
