Get to Know Vietnam

The Southeast Asian country of Vietnam is most commonly recognized for its impressive rain forests and the bustling Ho Chi Minh City, but there is much more to this nation. To truly get the essence of Vietnam, get to know its diverse locations and culture.

Vietnam offers much more than dense rain forests and bustling major cities, it's also home to picturesque beaches and calming rivers. If you do, however, find yourself wandering the streets of Ho Chi Minh City or the capital city of Hanoi, look for the French influence in the architecture as well as old wartime constructions. Because the country isn't huge, you can easily find yourself enjoying these areas as well as the majestic natural wonders of the country. After a trip through the city, why not head to the beach?

An international vacation isn't complete without a bit of the local culture. Enjoy some of the most delicious dishes Vietnam has to offer in the city. The most common dishes tend to be noodle or rice based, but aren't boring at all. Vietnamese cuisine is often quite aromatic and full of interesting spices. For more local experiences, check out when traditional festivals are held, such as Tet Nguyen Dan, also known as Vietnamese Lunar New Year.

If you're hoping to get to know a bit more than just Vietnam, a river cruise up the Mekong River will also introduce you to colorful and fascinating Cambodian traditions and culture as well. Stops along the river will allow you to wander traditional markets, get to know local towns, admire the impressive temples, and enjoy traditional cuisine and sweets. Most cruises offer luxury accommodations, so you can be sure you'll be comfortable during your visit. There are several trips to choose from that range from 3 day cruises all the way up to 7 days on the river.
