Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has an eclectic mix of Asian and European influences with wide tree-lined avenues, beautiful lakes and over 600 temples. Hanoi has a lot to offer the visitor. See Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and the 11th Century Quanh Tanh Temple before exploring the bustling street life of the Old Quarter by traditional cyclo.
Halong Bay, in north-eastern Vietnam, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site due its incredible limestone rock formations. Halong translates as 'the bay of the descending dragons' as local legend describes how god sent a family of dragons to protect the Vietnamese from Chinese invaders. Today, traditional junks sail through this incredible scenery.
