Vietnam, the information guide - General

Most visitors to
Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country's natural setting: the
Red River Delta in the north, the
Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by women in conical hats.

There are some divine beaches along the coast, while inland there are soaring mountains, some of which are cloaked by dense, misty forests. Vietnam also offers an opportunity to see a country of traditional charm and rare beauty rapidly opening up to the outside world.
