History
Vietnam’s culture dates back to 2,000 BC. Like many other countries in the region, its history is complicated, starting from the Dong Son culture that spanned thousands of years, and moving through many different leaders, lords, and dynasties.
Chinese, Khmer, and Indian cultures, as well as French culture during colonial rule, have all influenced Vietnam.
Much of Vietnam’s history is brought to life for visitors through various architecture, museums, and tours, like the tours through the tunnel systems under Ho Chi Min City (Saigon).
By exploring such places you will be better able to understand Vietnam through the eyes of locals, and to see how their long history has been shaped into the culture we see today.
Food

Foodies worldwide seek out authentic Vietnamese cuisine because it’s simply the best. It’s always fresh, tasty, and healthy. The food is heavenly whether you are eating at a food stall or in a restaurant.
Pho noodle soup, spring rolls, banh mi (Vietnamese baguette), sticky rice, and seafood are everyday staples that you need to try. The food will be kind to your taste buds and your wallet, with fresh seafood dinners for two costing anywhere from US$8 to US$20 (on average).
You can enjoy such seafood dinners at a restaurant, or if you are more daring on a beach, having them cooked right in front of you while you watch the sunset.
Vietnam’s geographical location makes it a prime location for indulging in some of the best fruit around. It can provide you with some of the classics like watermelon, pineapple, bananas, and mangos, but also introduce you to some unfamiliar tastes like mangosteen, durian, and lychee.
Affordability

Vietnam can create a great budget vacation while still meeting your quality needs. With a wide selection of hostels at very low prices, you will be able to spend your money how you want.
For those looking for something a little nicer, you will be very pleased with what your money can buy. Typically a 5-star hotel in Vietnam will cost you about the same as a 3-star hotel in the USA.
Beautiful beaches
While Thailand and the Philippines are popular spots for beach holidays, Vietnam’s tropical beaches are far less frequented. Go before they are discovered.
Shopping
