Overview for Vietnam

Vietnam is an experience of Asia like no other. Hanoi, the capital, surprises you with architecture reflecting Vietnam’s long history with influences as near as China or as far as France. Saigon overwhelms you with its sheer human energy. Hue, the old imperial capital, conjures up vibrant images of an exotic past. Long sandy beaches meet majestic mountains in Central Vietnam and Halong Bay has stunning landscapes.

Perhaps, most of all, you will remember the smiles of welcome, the invitations to “drink tea” and the bright eyes of the young children growing up in a peaceful Vietnam. For more information click here.
