A Flight - Vietnam
What is Vietnam? From soaring mountains to dense jungle to beautiful coastline
from cosmopolitan cities to hospitable hamlets to ethnic hill tribes...
When you visit Vietnam, you experience this beauty as soon as you arrive.
And threes more too. You can also check out the cu chi tunnels that were
in use when the Americans were around. But it doesn’t take long to know
that’s an oddity, and not this nation’s identity. As the saying goes, Vietnam
is a country not a war.
Lonely
Planet - Vietnam
Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country's
natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the
south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green
rice paddies tended by women in conical hats.

Packing - Vietnam
The largest of the three countries that made up French Indochina, Vietnam
has become synonymous with a history of war and repression. However, the
reality of this beautiful country in south east Asia is that it is a peaceful,
welcoming place, respecting of its rich cultural history, and yet embracing
the future to create a dynamic forward looking and unique destination that
is fast becoming one of the biggest tourist draws in the Far East.
