A land of staggering nature beauty and cultural complexities, of dynamic megacities and hill-tribe villages. Vietnam is both exotic and compelling.
THE FOOD
Vietnamese cuisine is becoming renowned around the world thanks to its reputation for being
exceptionally healthy. Subtle flavors like lemongrass, ginger, coriander and mint enhance
fresh vegetables, meats and seafood without a lot of oil, dairy or heavy sauces.
Traditional cooking combines up to five fundamental tastes: sour, bitter, sweet, spicy and
salty. From noodle soups to rice dishes, dumplings, pancakes, curries, salads, fish and
pastries, Vietnamese flavors feature something for everyone’s culinary preferences.
Specialties vary from region to region, so there is more diversity in this cuisine than you
might be aware of.
THE PEOPLE
The Vietnamese people are well-known for being polite and hospitable. A proud and
resilient nation with more than four millennia of civilization, the local people will
often be happy to show you around and invite you into their homes to offer you
excellent local cuisine. Vietnam is a great place to get immersed in the local culture,
but there is also a lively expat scene in various parts of the country for those times
you feel homesick.
THE LANDSCAPE
Vietnam sports extremely diverse scenery ranging from idyllic beaches to sprawling
forests to mountains in the clouds. Here you’ll find otherworldly desertscapes such as
Bao Trang, the ancient rice terraces of Sapa and the jagged limestone cliffs of Halong
Bay, one of the world’s most intoxicating vistas. The country is also scattered with
ancient monuments, including plenty of UNESCO-protected sites. Even the urban hubs of
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have their chaotic charms, as do the river villages along
the Mekong Delta.
THE BEACHES
With more than 2,000 miles of coastline, Vietnam has more than its fair share of
world-class beaches, and word is starting to get out about it. Sugary sand, cozy coves,
limpid lagoons, jaw-dropping rock formations and palm fringed islands await. Among the
most popular destinations for beach lovers is the coastal city of Nha Trang, where
visitors can enjoy swimming, scuba diving, windsurfing and a variety of other
watersports. With average daily temperatures of 28 degrees Celcius, Vietnam’s coastal
regions are ideal for a beach vacation at almost any time of year. Phu Quoc is what
Thailand’s Phuket was like before it became thick with tourism. Con Dao offer some
island paradises if you’re looking for a new getaway spot.
THE ENORMOUS CAVE
The country is home to the largest cave system in the world, the Hang Son Doong Caves.
This spectacular subterranean world is so vast that it even sports its own jungles,
rivers and unique microclimate. The largest chamber is over three miles long and 660
feet high, with daylight reaching much of it. Adventurous travelers can even spend a
few nights camping in the cave.
THE COST
Thailand is one of the cheapest countries in which to travel in. Flights to and from
some of the biggest cities in Thailand are affordable, as well as accommodation. Food
is another thing that is extremely affordable, and visitors will find that they can
indulge in as much food (especially street food) as they want and still only spend a
dollar or two per meal.
