Viet Nam: Country Overview
Viet Nam is the travel world’s best-kept secret. It is a fusion of exotic India and cultural China while bordering on Cambodia and Laos. Viet Nam , one of the last Communist/Socialist Republic’s, is developing so fast it makes your head spin. Mini skirts on new motorcycles drive 10 kilometers in any direction from the center of Hochiminh City or Hanoi and arrive in a quiet rural world that has changed little over the centuries.

Viet Nam is a patchwork of green rice paddies, orchards and gardens watered by a maze of ocean bays, rivers, and canals. Its diverse ecosystems include tropical islands, evergreen forests, shimmering white beaches, and clear waters that are perfect for getting up close to marine wildlife. You can explore by train, bus, boat, motorcycle, bicycle, on foot, or just kick back in a sidewalk café and let the world come to you. 2010 Hanoi celebrates it’s 1000th birthday.
