We visited Vietnam from South to North being impressed at the beginning by the intensity Ho Chi Minh City, the official name of Saigon after 1975. This city, that was a pearl of Indochina, is booming with business, with impressive hotels, banks and businesses. We went South and we visited, the Caodai Temple, the headquarters of the Caodai religion, widespread in South Vietnam and latter we visited the Mekong Delta, extremely populated and full of floating markets.
From there we started to go North and we visited the hill station of Dalat, the sea resort of Nha Trang surrounded by its tropical islands, Hoian, that being spared of bombing in the war, preserves the traditional architecture of Vietnam, and Hue, the old imperial capital, that was heavily bombed by the North Vietnamese and American Forces, but still, in spite of the destruction, preserves old vestiges of the Imperial times.
Hanoi, the capital of the country, is surrounded by extremely beautiful sites that make a visit to the North of the country so attractive. Around the city are the old citadel of Hua Lu, the first capital of the unified and independent Vietnam of the 10th century, surrounded by the extremely picturesque karsts peaks of Tam-Coc, and also the holly place of the Perfume Pagoda. Halong Bay is the "jewel of the crown", Vietnam's major attraction, with its karsts peaks popping out of the sea. But any trip in Vietnam would be incomplete without a tour to the North, in Sapa and Ba Cha, to admire the markets populated by the local minorities dressed in amazingly colorful traditional costumes.
