Vietnam is the embodiment of exotic, a land of contrasts. Hanoi is an elegant capital, gateway to the natural wonder of Halong Bay and the colourful minorities of the Tonkinese Alps. In Central Vietnam, Hue is a cultural city of temples and tombs, while nearby Hoi An is a charming town of beautiful buildings. In the south, Saigon is a great base for exploring the Mekong Delta or the huge sand dunes at Mui Ne. Vietnam is the perfect blend of past and present, of culture and comfort, of nature and beauty.
