When you mention Vietnam, the first thing people think of is the many films depicting the war. It’s a huge part of the history, and any Vietnam holiday should include a trip to some Vietnam War sites, but there’s so much more to this fascinating country.
Located below China in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is bordered by Cambodia and Laos to the west and the South China Sea to its east.
The country’s climate has both a temperate and tropical zone meaning it is prone to heavy rainfall during its monsoon season.
Vietnam combines its stunning landscapes, wonderful cuisine, vibrant energy, and interesting history to make it an incredible destination for tourists to visit. It is worth mentioning that the country has so much more to offer than just this, but it is an important and interesting part of its history.
Vietnamese cities offer a vibrant way of life. You will be able to see the French influences on architecture and street layout in Hanoi, which is the capital city.
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon before north and south Vietnam were rejoined, is a large city that has lots to offer, including the beautiful Mekong Delta, the War Remnants Museum, and a bustling atmosphere. Explore the street food stalls or restaurants to get a taste of traditional and delicious Vietnamese cuisine.
