Vietnam has more recently become a favourite with travellers. Once,
the name Vietnam signified not so much a country, but instead, a
tragic jungle war. In recent years, however, the lifting of Vietnamese
government restrictions and the room in budget travelling, has enabled
more contemporary and relevant portraits of the country to gain
currency in the West.
An understanding of history still goes a long way in Vietnam, since
the country has a unique civilization and a highly cultured people,
but most visitors are entranced by it's landscapes, its delicious
cuisine and the opportunity to witness the invigorating, early days
of Vietnam's renewed contact with the West.
Bordering Cambodia, Laos and China the country stretches over 1,600
km along the eastern coast of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula. The country's
two main cultivated areas are the Red River Delta (15,000 square
kms) in the north and the Mekong Delta (60,000 square kms) in the
south. Three-quarters of the country is mountainous and hilly; the
highest peak is the 3,143-meter-high Fansipan in northwest Vietnam.
As well as fine weather, there is spectacular natural scenery and
historic sites. Vietnam's greatest resource is its friendly, welcoming
people. Long closed to the outside world, Vietnam retains a charming
innocence that most tourist regions lack. Yet in the decade since
the country opened its doors to visitors. the country has built
world-class hotels and tourism facilities. with international standards
and traditional Vietnamese hospitality. Vietnam is ready to take
you on an unforgettable adventure.
