Vietnam Destinations - South East Asia
This incisive proclamation by Le Van Bang, former Vietnamese Ambassador to the United States, sums up the collective psyche of the Vietnamese people and serves as a powerful backdrop for one of the world’s most astounding post-war recovery miracles.
Though memories lie just below the surface for all combatants and those who lived through the war in Vietnam and abroad, Vietnam is long a vibrant tourist destination and a visit of any length will dispel many preconceptions.
From lush jungle terrain to beautiful coastline, cosmopolitan cities to friendly hamlets, or among Vietnam's many ethnic hill tribes, travelers can experience the gamut in only a short trip here.
Vietnam's more than 2,000 years of history is marred by occupation: the Chinese, French, and Americans left a brutal imprint on the Vietnamese story, but also left a rich cultural smorgasbord. Chinese and French food, language, and architecture have been assimilated smoothly into the already fascinating Vietnamese fabric of culture. An ancient Confucian university, a Zen monastery, a Buddhist temple built in the Hindu style, a Vietnamese puppet show, French country chalets, and gourmet restaurants -- you'll find them all in Vietnam.
Vietnam is a land of rich natural beauty. From tall mountains and craggy limestone formations to dense jungles, river deltas, and pristine beaches, Vietnam's ecological treasures alone are worth a trip. Adventure and outdoor travel outfitters abound, and many travelers come to trek, bicycle, and paddle their way to scenic serenity.
