The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the most easterly country of the Mekong region, bordering China to the north, Laos along its western border and Cambodia in the southwest. Its eastern border is coastal where the country’s rivers empty into the South China Sea and ultimately the Pacific Ocean.
One of the most beautiful and unspoilt countries in Asia, Vietnam is a land of stunning coastline, paddy fields, mountainous jungle, ancient monuments and exciting cities. For many, Vietnam conjures up images of American wartime films, conical hats, rice paddies and the image of a colonial past. For the visitor, Vietnam offers a rich and varied cultural history combined with the charm of a country still in the early stages of development.
Providing great diversity from its thousand years of Chinese rule to the still evident French-colonial period, a visit to Vietnam exceeds all expectations. With 2,000 miles of unspoilt sandy coastline, the Southern Delta region houses numerous hills of dense jungle and a unique mountainous region populated by over 50 ethnic minorities. Relatively new to international tourism, Vietnam has a unique friendliness and style that offers a genuine welcome coupled with the chance to explore a corner of the Far East that remains relatively untouched by tourism. Take the opportunity to discover a country that has quietly emerged from the shadows before it changes forever.
