Vietnam

Vietnam: One fascinating kaleidoscopeNatural variety and ethnic patchwork, Indo-Chinese way …Geographical strangeness; Vietnam looks like a very symbolic and fantastic animal … Observe, and you will see the dragon spring up in all its magnificence: head pointed towards Malaysia, the tail towards China, and the powerful serpentine body carrying Laos and Cambodia… Now that yesterday’s fury has calmed down, Vietnam offers the visitor fabulous treasures: in the North, colonial Hanoi, where pagodaes, conical hats, xiclos and traditional porters with pendulum baskets carry you into another world. The famous Ha Long bay with its thousands of karstic islands and creeks. The terraced paddies of Bac Ha or the mountain lakes of Ba Be. In the center of the country, Hué and its majestic imperial city, Da Nang bay … In the South, bustling Saigon, floating markets and Mekong delta…But the most beautiful of all is what the Vietnamese can offer themselves … Migrating from neighbouring countries; settlers established a fantastic ethnic mosaic of 54 communities. Black H’Mongs ; tireless and ingenious farmers, Tays, Dzao women recognizable to their black dyed teeth and their long dresses. Each community cultivating its own identity and traditions, but gladly sharing with the others. You will capture this dimension during your hike, from village to village, community to community, overnights spent at homestay with your hosts…
