Stretching over 3,200 kilometres in length with countless mountains, rivers, forests and beaches, Vietnam is one of Asia’s most diverse and fascinating countries. From the natural splendour and majesty of the north, to the historic charm of the central provinces Vietnam is a beautiful country.

 

Ha Long Bay Vietnam gay tour

 

Just as a freshly dripped sua dá coffee offers that sweet caffeine kick to the frontal cortex, a trip to Vietnam will inevitably knock you for six. Embodying the urban jungle; Saigon’s sassy natives squat behind fragrant vats of pho bò while epic roads cut through the scene like impassable motorised rivers.

In Vietnam, craziness is interwoven with natural beauty like nowhere else on earth, where the cheerful, forgiving perspectives of its people can cause you to re-evaluate life back home. Walk blindly into moving traffic and experience the biblical happen, or, embrace a different kind of spirituality while exploring Vietnam’s most rural shrines and temples.

A snapshot of 19th- and 20th-century South Vietnamese heritage, today it is dominated by the statue of communist revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh standing in front of the Ho Chi Minh City Hall, built by the French in 1908, and coexisting peacefully with western consumerism of today emerging in the form of high-end boutiques and big brand stores dotting the surrounding streets.
