" Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas & bustling cities, Hanoi, the capital, pays homage to the famous nation's iconic Communist-era leader, Ho Chi Minh, via a huge marble mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) has French colonial landmarks plus Vietnamese War history museums, the Cu Chi tunnels used by Vietnam soldiers "
French Indochina (1884), Vietnam War (1965 > 1975), Robin Williams Goooooood Morning Vietnam, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Trail of Vietnam War Heritage in Saigon, War Museums, war hotels (Caravelle, Rex & Continental), American military hardware, Reunification Palace, Bia (beer) College, motor bikers zooming the streets, Bia Hoi (local draught beer), Vietnamese iced coffee, fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, Pho Bo beef rice noodles, grilled pork Banh Mi & bread ..... these will probably enthuse you to show up & look forward to greet Vietnam with a Gooooood Morning upon your arrival in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi ! For beer drinkers, you may like to loiter or invest your time in Bir College (cafe ?), Ho Chi Minh City, if you are keen to pursue a professional diploma in beer drinking ! I had so far done 2 wonderful free & easy visits to Vietnam (2007 & 2014) covering cities like Hanoi, Halong Bay, Cat Ba Island, Danang, Hue, Hoi Ann & Ho Chi Minh City - perhaps it is time for me (at the earliest opportunity when international borders are opened) to consider making my 3rd visit targeting the 5 Best Places I have yet to visit in Vietnam ie Sapa, Nha Trang, Mekong Delta, Tam Coc & Dalat !
The 10 Best Places to Visit in Vietnam highlighted in touropia's travel video are (a lot to catch up in my travelling to Vietnam as I had only done 2 visits to Vietnam & to date, I had visited 5 out of the 10 Best Places in Vietnam - a gentle score, not so up to the mark but a consolation for me at this stage) :
- Halong Bay
- Hanoi
- Hoi Ann
- Hue
- Sapa (visit in Feb 2023)
- Nha Trang (yet to visit)
- Mekong Delta (yet to visit)
- Ho Chi Minh City
- Tam Coc (visited in Feb 2023)
