High on the list of tourist destinations are the capital Hanoi, scenic Halong Bay with spectacular limestone outcroppings, the historic city of Hue on the Perfume River, Danang, home of the Cham people, and the out going city of Ho Chi minh (Saigon).

Vietnam ; a country which is still marked by the memory of war; it opened its borders up to tourism ten years ago. Despite its turbulent history; Vietnam has been able to preserve its unique identity and culture. This beautiful country is both surprising and emotionally moving; sometimes even a bit disconcerting.
