SIGHTS & PLACES: Vietnam's well preserved and vibrant cultural heritage is no more prevalent than in the northern capital city of Hanoi. Harmoniously blending old world charm with the contemporary, Hanoi is a city with a captivating mix of architectural heritage and European influences, making it one of Asia's most striking cities.
short journey southeast of Hanoi and you will discover the UNESCO World Heritage site of Halong Bay, featuring more than 2000 stunning islands and islets rising from the azure waters of the Gulf of Tonkin to create a dramatic and awe-inspiring setting. Along Vietnam's curvaceous coastline is Hue and Hoi An. The towns are short transfers from each other and straddle the banks of the Song Huong River. In the south is the extensive Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City, the country's greatest metropolitan area consisting of a vibrant and high energy mixture of culture, commerce, tradition and modernity. Here designer hotels, boutique properties, markets, street stalls and high-end restaurants meet every desire.
