Discovering Vietnam From The Point Of View Of Its History And Geography

A Vietnam travel would necessarily mean stepping into a land of worship and devotion of Lord Buddha and getting pampered by its nature in the forms of beautiful mountains, streams, beaches, lagoons, valleys, lakes, forests, rivers and waterfalls. Tourists cannot afford for a Vietnam travel without including the city of Hanoi in the agenda. People at Hanoi are there to welcome tourists with open arms.

As the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi has beautified itself with lakes, public parks on one side and narrow alleys, bustling markets and skyscrapers on the other side. The Revolution Museum situated at Hoan Kiem District is worth paying a visit. People who are passionate about historic artifacts and remains can opt for the Coa Loa Village to visit the Co Loa Old Citadel which represents relics of an ancient urban area and a military citadel.

Hanoi might be the capital of Vietnam, but Ho Chi Minh City seems to steal the attention of the tourists for being the largest city and the business centre of Vietnam. Nam Bo Women’s Museum, Vietnam History Museum are some of the sites in the city where an individual would get to know Vietnam’s rich historical background right from the ancient period to the 1930s when the communist party was founded.

But man simply loves to stay close to the nature. And Vietnam is not devoid of natural beauties either. A traveler would be puzzled to choose the spots where nature seems to be the most beautiful in their Vietnam travel. Everywhere the nature is dressed in a different look and there is no choice rather than visiting these spots all! Can anyone deny the appeals made by the rivers, lakes and waterfalls and the bondage they create with the mountains surrounding them? The Fairies Stream flowing through the Suoi Tien Village is a place of imagination. The beauty and serenity of the place can make anyone imagine about fairies taking a bath in the stream! But what about enjoying the beauties of a lake amidst a busy city like Hanoi? It is really cool to observe the Hoan Kiem Lake from the window of one of the skyscrapers!

One can choose to rest by settling for sometime in the Pu Luong National Reserve which would take him away from the hassles of the city- life. For the adventure loving and enthusiastic people, Lang Bian Mountains in Lam Dong Province seems to be the ideal destination that supports activities like climbing, paragliding and trekking. Exploring hills in Vietnam without ever gaining knowledge on its various hill tribes and their lifestyles would be an injustice to the Vietnam travel. Visiting Mang Deng Commune at Kon Tum Province would introduce the tourists with hill tribes like Sedan, MNong, Hre, and Cadong.

Lastly, Vietnam travel would definitely mean a travel in search of peace. Vietnam is the home to many Buddhist pagodas and temples like Perfume Pagoda, Tomb of Gia long, Temple Of Literature, Dau Pagoda but the Do Temple built by the Le Dynasty in the 17th century creates a different appeal. The temple is surrounded by a semicircular lake on which there is a floating house for the travelers to take rest. Crafted by skillful craftsmen, this temple has gained life! When the doors open, the dragon images on top seem to be soaring and when light falls on their eyes during the day time, the eyes seem to come in life and dazzle like gemstones.

Vietnam travel cannot get faded by the tourists’ anxiety on issues like hotels and accommodations. Daewoo Hotel situated in Hanoi by the side of the picturesque Thu Le Lake consisting of 411 luxurious guest rooms can be the ideal choice for many guests, especially those ones who have a passion for art. The hotel runs a world class art gallery in collaboration with the famous art gallery of Hanoi. In fact, a good night’s sleep in a good hotel is needed to get recharged to discover Vietnam the next day! WayToVietnam
