TIMELESS CHARM
Vietnam officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a long, thin country in Southeast Asia known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities. Once a lesser-known destination, Vietnam has become widely popular in recent years. With Hanoi consistently ranked among the world's top 10 destinations by Trip Advisor, one can now find European tourists as far as in Ha Giang, one of the most remote mountainous provinces. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) has French colonial landmarks, plus Vietnamese War history museums and the Củ Chi tunnels, used by Viet Cong soldiers.
