Where to go? Destinations VietNam

Discovering Vietnam, a magnificent country with many facets ...

At the borders of Laos, Cambodia and China, Vietnam stretches in the shape of a dragon around a huge coastline. This country in Southeast Asia is still preserved and offers a culture that is both vibrant and authentic. From Tonkin in the North to Cochin China in the South, the architectural heritage of the country is very rich and contrasted. Traditional dwellings and skyscrapers, cathedrals, pagodas and temple ruins rub shoulders for the pleasure of the eyes. Of great topographical diversity, this country also has many natural sites. Green rice fields, bamboo hedges, conical hats, heavenly beaches ... The best known are of course the Mekong Delta and Halong Bay, but there are also the majestic mountains of North Vietnam, like those of Sapa. We can not also omit the tropical forests and natural parks that enrich the picture. A destination rich in color and culture ...
