This misty former French
colonial hill station
nestled in a beautiful
valley is a great place to
meet local hilltribe people
at the local market or
on treks to their villages.
Hanoi
There’s something about
Hanoi that lets you know
it’s the capital. Stately,
with wide boulevards and
tranquil lakes, it’s a great
place to walk, watch and
eat, of course.
Halong Bay
Mystical and stunningly
beautiful, Halong Bay will
fi re your imagination.
A leisurely day sailing in the
midst of all this beauty is a
great way to wind down.
Luang Prabang
A reminder how good the
simple life can be. Exquisitely
carved wats, the saffron
colour of passing monks and
sunsets on the Mekong are
made even more special by
the local hospitality.
Vientiane
A most un-capital, capital
city. Cyclists and pedestrians
still dominate the streets of
this friendly and easy-going
town with its own share of
treasures from the past.
Hue
Life moves at a slower
pace in this former imperial
city that still retains a regal
aura. Reminders of past
Emporers are everywhere,
even on local menus.
Danang
This busy city is a
major hub in travels
between north and
south and close to
some major sights and
famous China Beach.
Hoi An
Formerly a thriving port
town, its popularity hasn’t
dimmed its timeless
charm. Narrow streets
keep throwing up little
surprises with ancient
houses and bridges from
its merchant hey day.
Siem Reap
Gateway to one of the
world’s most unforgettable
sights, the ancient
Khmer city of Angkor.
This archaeological
treasure will literally take
your breath away.
Phnom Penh
The extravagantly gilded,
curved spires and roofs
of Khmer architecture mix
with the aging shuttered
facades of the colonial era
in this appealing city.
Mekong Delta
The fertile Delta is a
treat for the senses and
the only way to see it is
by small boat. A maze of
narrow waterways leads
you to fl oating markets
and the intense, fresh
fl avours of the tropics.
Ho Chi Minh City
(Saigon)
A vibrant mix of the modern
and traditional. From its
chaotic streets, fascinating
markets, cool cafes and
great shopping to its temples
and old French buildings
– what’s not to love?
Mui Ne
Possibly the best
beaches in Vietnam
that stretch as far
as the eye can see.
A great place to
unwind.
Dalat
The fresh mountain air is
not the only reason to visit
this former French hill station
town. A favourite of artists,
its lake setting, golf course
and eccentric attractions
make it an ideal getaway.
Nha Trang
This popular beach resort
is a great place to hang out,
with crystal clear waters,
palm-fringed beaches
and the nearby hot mineral
springs.
Phu Quoc
An island escape that
lets you get away from it
all on unspoiled beaches
that surround mountain
forests and waterfalls.
Great for walkers and
beach lovers.
