Vietnam is a republic located in Southeast Asia, facing the South China Sea, with an elongated shape from north to south. Hanoi, the capital city in the north, and Ho Chi Minh City, a large city in the south, are home to colonial-era architecture that remains here and there, where visitors can enjoy shopping, eating gourmet food such as pho and banh mi, and strolling through history. The region is also blessed with attractive spots, such as Hue and Hoi An, which have the atmosphere of ancient cities, Da Nang, which continues to develop as a resort city, and Ha Long Bay, known for its spectacular scenery.
