Stunningly exotic and extremely irresistible, Vietnam is a country whose natural beauty is breathtaking, and with an incredible historical heritage that leaves no one indifferent. Unforgettable experiences await you in this magical land. At first glance, Vietnam seems quite chaotic, but that is what makes it extremely exciting. Knowing the turbulent history, it will be very interesting to discover Vietnam.
This is a country with a very rich and turbulent history. What this country has attracted the most attention in the West is the American war. But centuries ago, Vietnam kept pace with the Khmers, the Mongols, and China, under whose occupation it was for a thousand years, and from which it took many influences. Later came the arduous period of French colonialism that lasted until the second half of the twentieth century.
The Americans are the last in a long line of conquerors. Today, relations with Vietnam's old enemy, the United States, have improved significantly: in early 1994, the United States lifted an embargo that had been in place since the 1960s. Now, Vietnam's economy is growing by more than 8% annually, and the inflow of money from tourism is increasing dramatically.
HANOI IS A COMBINATION OF INFLUENCE AND A CLASH OF OPPOSITES
The Vietnamese capital Hanoi is a real refreshment in this part of the continent, since French and Chinese influences intertwine in it, while the local tradition is well maintained. So, French-style cafes stand side by side with traditional shops.
This charming capital abounds in the unique charm of ancient civilizations and one of the most beautiful colonial architectures. Vietnam has not cursed its French colonial heritage, so here you can enjoy a unique blend of French aesthetics and Asian hospitality. You will have the opportunity to visit:
- Ho Chi Minh City Founders' Complex with Mausoleum, Presidential Palace,
- The Temple of Literature is known as the first national university to house a history museum today.
- Also, you will see the peaceful Hoan Kiem Lake and its temple, as well
- lively Dong Xuan market.
HA LONG BAY - A NATURAL WONDER AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP
Ha Long Bay, the old cities of Hue and Hoi An, are one of the highlights of the trip. Ha Long Bay is certainly Vietnam’s greatest natural wonder. You will experience a ride on a traditional junk, a typical Vietnamese boat with characteristic fan-shaped sails. Your junk will sail among limestone islands and reefs of various shapes that create fantastic scenes. This place is full of small beaches and caves.
You will also discover the pearl of Vietnamese architecture, the small town of Hoi An. This fishing village has become a tourist attraction and is located on the shores of the South China Sea. The heart of the city is still the Old City, full of winding paths and Chinese-style shops. It is sometimes called the "Venice of Vietnam" because of the narrow canals that run through part of the city.
SAIGON AND THE MEKONG DELTA
In Saigon, you will ride a slalom among a large number of motorcyclists, while the sound of the engine will resonate in your ears long into the night. Visiting the Mekong Delta you will see a floating market, try snake brandy, and in the early morning, you will be able to take a boat ride where you will have the opportunity to truly soak up the spirit of Vietnam and see how the locals enjoy the river.
The Mekong Delta is a region in the southern part of Vietnam, where the Mekong River flows into the sea. This is a very lush landscape, covered with rice fields, which make up half of Vietnam's total agricultural production. Life in the Mekong Delta revolves around the river a lot and all the villages are often more accessible by river than by road.
Vietnam is a country that will involve all your senses. Spectacular landscapes, rich cultural heritage, delicious cuisine, noisy cities, and quiet mountains. Sailing in a traditional junk will amaze you with the limestone rocks of one of the most beautiful bays in the world, and then the wide delta and tributaries of the Mekong River. You will see temples and palaces, colonial architecture, and art inspired by influences from various quarters while listening to stories about the times of great kings. Vietnam is definitely becoming an increasingly popular travel destination in this part of Asia.
