Once, the name "Vietnam" signified not so much a country as a brutal jungle war. In recent years, however, the lifting of Vietnamese government restrictions and the boom in budget travelling have enabled more contemporary and relevant portraits of the country to gain currency in the West.
An understanding of history still goes a long way in Vietnam, since the country has a unique civilisation and a highly cultured people. Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the countrys natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies.
Vietnam offers a rare opportunity to see a country of traditional charm and beauty taking the first hestitant steps into the modern world. Travel here is a unique experience and will more than likely leave the visitor deeply impressed.
