beauty of Vietnam. Brilliant green rice fields, bustling city

streets, grand colonial buildings, colourful markets, temples and

pagodas, deserted sandy beaches, glorious mountain scenery,

colourful ethnic minorities, delicious cuisine, luxurious hotels

and resorts, THIS IS VIETNAM TODAY.

The country is divided into three distinct regions, the south, the

centre and the north. The northern capital Hanoi, is the seat of

government and home of the revered Ho Chi Minh. This is the

artistic and cultural heart of the country, with Hoan Kiem lake

at the centre. In the Old Quarter, at the Temple of Literature, in

the colonial buildings and the museums the past comes to life.

Saigon is the commercial powerhouse of the country, with

international hotels, shiney malls, old markets, museums, China

Town and café life. The city is truly multi-cultural.

There are Seven World Heritage sites in Vietnam declared by

UNESCO in 2011. The spectacular natural wonder of Ha Long Bay (1994), the Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park

(2003), the central sector of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long - Hanoi (2010), Citadel of the Ho Dynasty (2011),

A 2-hour drive out of Hanoi brings you to the Perfume Pagoda complex, a cluster of shrines and pagodas located on

the limestone rocks of Perfume Mountain. Unlike other temples in Vietnam, the only way to reach this sanctuary is

by taking a rowing boat along the narrow, Yen stream (1 hour boat trip one way). Rice paddy fields and small

houses border the riverbanks. Climb up the hill slowly and enjoy a one way cable ride to the main pagoda set in a

huge grotto containing a highly decorative shrine. Each stalactite and stalagmite inside is associated with a legend

about its miracle and offers good fortune to the visitor. It is better to bring along a boxed lunch as there are no

good cafes in this area. Walk down to visit the Kitchen of Heavens pagoda and learn about Buddhism and the
