Vietnam is now firmly on the world stage, but it was only since
the early 1990’s that travellers started arriving. Today visitors
from all over the world have the opportunity to discover the
beauty of Vietnam. Brilliant green rice fields, bustling city
streets, grand colonial buildings, colourful markets, temples and
pagodas, deserted sandy beaches, glorious mountain scenery,
colourful ethnic minorities, delicious cuisine, luxurious hotels
and resorts, THIS IS VIETNAM TODAY.
The country is divided into three distinct regions, the south, the
centre and the north. The northern capital Hanoi, is the seat of
government and home of the revered Ho Chi Minh. This is the
artistic and cultural heart of the country, with Hoan Kiem Lake
at the centre. In the Old Quarter, at the Temple of Literature, in
the colonial buildings and the museums the past comes to life.
Saigon is the commercial powerhouse of the country, with
international hotels, shiney malls, old markets, museums, China
Town and café life. The city is truly multi-cultural.
There are Seven World Heritage sites in Vietnam declared by
UNESCO in 2011. The spectacular natural wonder of Ha Long Bay (1994), the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park
(2003), the central sector of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi (2010), Citadel of the Ho Dynasty (2011),
Complex of Hué Monuments (1993), Hoi An Ancient Town (1999), My Son Sanctuary (1999). Vietnam offers the
