Other than that, the forested areas of this country have some of the rarest animals in the world, like the Saola.

Seeing the local landmarks comprises a major aspect of Vietnam Travel and there are plenty to be had in such a historic country like Vietnam. It still has remnants of the Chinese culture as it had long been under the Chinese rule until its independence in 938 AD. The rulers here were mostly of Chinese and Mongolian origin and later the French took over. All these transformations of the country are very well recorded in the museums.

Then there is the local cuisine to be tasted. Vietnam is famous for the “pha”- a soup comprising of noodles and beef slices. And you will enjoy the whole new flavors of herbs and eastern spices mixed with the aroma of sautéed vegetables.

With so much on platter, gear up for an exciting vietnam tour on your next vacation.
