Sublime. That's Vietnam in a word. Long sandy beaches lining the coast, breathtaking patchwork lush green paddy fields, the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south, and soaring mountains-this is indeed a country of rare beauty and charm. Whether it's the magnificent Halong Bay, the delightful city of Hoi An, the ancient temples of Hanoi or the busy streets of Saigon, the fame of Vietnam's treasures is rapidly spreading across the world. And what adds to its appeal most is how Vietnam still proudly preserves its rich heritage and culture.
