Vietnam

Vietnam is a country known for its compelling history, lush landscape and fast-paced lifestyle. Its identity has been defined by incessant turmoil, few other countries invoke such strong recollections of America’s past conflicts. Having overcome colonial occupation and weathered many wars, Vietnam is awakening from its economic slumber and is on a path to becoming one of the world’s fastest growing economies. This resilience is a testament to the pride and indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people and their culture.

Halong Bay
UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay. A timeless landscape of rice paddies, following the Red River delta to the emerald seas of the Gulf of Tonkin. Just offshore, some 3,000 limestone islands and outcrops rise almost vertically from the sea, forming one of the most extraordinary and spectacular bays in the world.

Hanoi
Hanoi, no other destination better represents all the contrasts that exist in modern Vietnam. A French-conceived colonial city, Hanoi was the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1954. It boasts one of the most beautiful panoramas in the region and has more cultural sites than any other city in Vietnam, featuring more than 600 pagodas and temples. Many are drawn to its numerous lakes; in particular West Lake (Hô Tây), which is the largest lake in Hanoi and a popular gathering place. Hanoi’s Old Quarter displays the original streets and the predominant style of architecture from the early 20th century. Its colonial history is evident in buildings such as the Grand Opera House, State Bank of Vietnam and Presidential Palace. Home to several museums and many theaters, cinemas, karaoke bars and dance clubs, Hanoi is filled with entertaining sights and exciting experiences.

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Ho Chi Minh City has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a small fishing village called Prey Nokor, with a population of about 7.2 million people, it is now Vietnam’s largest city. During French occupation it became Saigon, which is still commonly used by the Vietnamese and can be seen on shop signs throughout the city; in the north, however, it is strictly referred to as Ho Chi Minh City. After the fall of Saigon in 1975, the Gia Ðinh province and two neighboring districts were combined with Saigon to create Ho Chi Minh City, honoring the Communist leader who had died in 1969. Ho Chi Minh City is a seamless blend of history and modern commercial energy; it is no wonder that the city’s population grows by 200,000 each year. From the enduring, narrow alleyways to the wide, historic boulevards, Ho Chi Minh City has an identity that is all its own. Historic French architecture adorns much of the city and prominent landmarks, such as Reunification Palace or Notre-Dame Cathedral, can be found in its jewel-like city center. Ho Chi Minh City’s beauty and vitality are infectious.
