Vietnam has exerted itself to be a
favorite destination of more and
more tourists. There is a Hanoi
elegant with friendly people, a
Halong Bay with amazing caves listed
on UNESCO World Heritage. There is a
Hue romantic with palace and rain, a
tranquil Hoi An where you can have
clothes made in one day, a Da Nang
dynamic by Han river. There’s a
Saigon busy and modern like New
York, a Mekong-delta with
fascinating floating market. The
North, Centre, and South of Vietnam
all bear a deep cultural trace,
which remains in tourists’ memories
for years. With everything from
mountains to seas, from cold to hot
weather, from city to countryside,
Vietnam has everything you may come
up with. “Vietnam at a Glance” is a
close view to highlights of Vietnam
