A Glance of Vietnam
Hanoi, currently Vietnam’s capital city, is famous for its ancient temples, citadels, authentic museums, French architectural buildings, colorful markets, and many spectacular landscapes. The city is home to 15 museums, which house unique exhibits, artifacts, and stories!
Hoa Lu was the capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries, with a wide range of historical landmarks. In 968, King Dinh Bo Linh of Dai Co Viet (an old name of Vietnam) constructed his capital in Hoa Lu and ruled until 980. It witnessed many important historical events in the early days: the union of Vietnam after the rebellion of 12 warlords, the war with China’s Southern Han Dynasty, and the formation of Hanoi.
Hoi An, with its peaceful and ancient environment, has become one of the most popular tourist attractions that appeal to travelers of all tastes and cross over the continents. In 1999, Hoi An was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is also on a beautiful coast and hosts some gorgeous beaches.
Ho Chi Minh, also known as Saigon, is Vietnam’s most dizzying city of commerce and culture. A visit to Saigon is like an encounter with delicious exotic food, French colonial architecture, and memories of the Vietnam War. This city is Vietnam’s economic heart, and the southern region’s central hub that vibrates with energy, innovation, and traffic.
