Vietnam

View map

From verdant highland to stunning coast, Vietnam is an exuberant, colourful country of diverse joys: sail a junk through the spectacular sea and land formations of Halong Bay; suit up and step out after a visit to the tailors of Hoi An; bask on the beautiful beaches of Nha Trang; crawl through the Cu Chi tunnels of the Viet Cong; cycle along the beautiful Perfume River valley in Hue, leisurely drift by floating markets, or simply hoon, down the Mekong; and revel in the French colonial splendour of Hanoi and the picturesque hill station of Dalat. Eat authentic dishes of a cuisine famous the world over and meet intriguing locals, too, from beret-wearing literati and haggling market vendors to conical-hatted farmers and serene, aged folk. Vietnam offers an array of treasures and pleasures.
