Destination Profile
Vibrant Vietnam squiggles in an S-bend down the edge of Indochina. It wiggles from the Mekong Delta of the south all the way to the karst peaks of the north. As it goes, it astounds and beguiles visitors with all sorts. Glinting white-sand beaches sit on Phu Quoc. Japanese bridges and paint-peeling French cottages abound in Hoi An. Haunting war relics lurk in the DMZ, while centuries-old Nguyen palaces keep watch in Hue and beyond. Cheap flights to Vietnam from USA are likely to take you to either Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. They are at opposite ends of the long, thin country, each with their own unique vibe and character.
Be stunned by the peaks and waters of Ha Long Bay. A UNESCO site, it's ripe for exploration on old junk boats and sea kayaks alike.
Phu Quoc is Vietnam's beach destination extraordinaire. It might be packed with resorts, but you can still find remote jungle and glowing white sands.
Get lost in the old town of Hoi An to sample broiling noodle broths and shop amid buzzing night bazaars.
