Vietnam in Pictures

Vietnam is a wonderful place to holiday and the best time to go is right now. The Vietnamese are friendly to tourists because they have come to appreciate the benefits that tourism can bring to their economy. Many Vietnamese speak english and they will go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Vietnam still has a lot of rustic charm and many traditional practices and dress still survive. Unfortunately globalization is bringing about changes that will erode these ancient traditions and this can already been seen in the major capital cities.
Vietnam is a country with a population of 82 million people living in a long rectangular-shaped land of 300,000 square kilometers. Vietnam has remarkable beauty and diversity. Places like Halong Bay are world heritage value and rate as one of the wonders of Asia. The Internet has connected Vietnam to the world and all across the country, even in very small towns, you will find Internet Cafes with enthusiastic Vietnamese people logging on to the world. Transportation by train is remarkably efficient and Vietnamese Airlines are excellent.
