Vietnam - a land of wondrous natural beauty, cultural complexities, bustling cities and hill-tribe villages. As we embark on our voyage, we discover the capital Hanoi, famed for its centuries-old architecture and rich cultural influences from both Asia and France. We discover some of the city’s highlights such as the Temple of Literature before heading into the hill country to sample the slower pace of life here, surrounded by steeped rice terraces and misty mountains. We also spend some time in Hue, where we have an informative visit to the Imperial Citadel, once the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty emperors. Our tour continues to the ancient seaside town of Hoi An before heading into the central highlands of Vietnam and the town of Da Lat. Here we find some of the best floral displays in the country at the Da Lat Flower Park and the Fresh Gardens, along with hydrangeas and other local flowers. Our final stop is the southern city of Ho Chi Minh, where we have a glimpse not only into the city’s war-torn past but also today’s modern day-to-day life.
