Vietnam

Vibrant Vietnam

Food, fun and frolic- these are just three things that you can expect once you set foot on Vietnam. Its allure and beauty beckons tourists from all over the world as this place is a treasure trove of old-world Eastern culture, mixed with a smattering of modern urban color. As the latest Asian dragon country, it awakens from its slumber to dazzle and delight you throughout your stay.

Blessed with a bounty from nature, you’ll be treated each day to the sight of mountains, vast swathes of rice fields, and idyllic beaches. Go on a day tour of the country and see with your own eyes how the old and new Vietnam interweaves into a kaleidoscope of unique scenery- you’ll see women in conical hats tending to their rice fields, then after a few hours on the road, imposing and sleek skyscrapers will grace the skyline.

Make your first stop Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. Take a leisurely stroll down the alleys which will lead you to pagodas and markets. Have a great time as you test your haggling skills at the road side shops selling silks and baskets. Discover street food at its tastiest as you sample the various offerings while walking. When night falls, dine in any of the swanky restaurants and party on at the various night clubs. Ho Chi Minh City is a thrill for all your senses.

For a unique experience, visit Can Tho where you’ll find the floating market at the Mekong River. If mountain climbing is more your thing, head on up to hills of Sapa for amazing views of the jungle and the mountain ranges of north west Vietnam. Not to be missed is Halong Bay where you get to sail among the rocks of more than 2000 islands. Or, visit Hanoi, the country’s capital, where you can find peace and tranquility in the Temple of Literature and One Pillar Pagoda. Then grab a pastry at any of the French patiserries near the area to cap the day off.

A place where tradition and modernity are side by side, where everything is mystical and exciting at the same time. This is Vietnam.

Highlighting the National Museum of Vietnamese History

January 24, 2014 By //  by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The place that best accounts for Vietnam’s thousands of years of history is set in one of the capital city’s finest buildings. The National Museum of Vietnamese History offers a refreshing break from the war and propaganda that most Hanoi museums provide as the museum focuses of the country’s pre-20th Century era.

The building of the Museum of Vietnamese History is a magnificent illustration of Indochinese architecture, which was witnessed until the 1910 French consulate. The building was previously used as the residence of then Governor Generals as well. Over time, the building deteriorated through the years up until the early 1930s when it went through a seven-year long renovation. Today, the magnificently constructed building invites visitors to a striking two-storey rotunda that remains as the entrance to the spectacular exhibit and galleries of the museum. …
