The delicious cuisine,renowned for its freshness and bold flavours, can be sampled especially in its street-food dishes whereveryou are. For cultural visits, the colonial heritage of cities suchas Hoi An or Hue is richly rewarding; for wildlife enthusiasts there are thejungles, caves and monsoon forests to explore and for a less energeticappreciation of the stunning countryside, there are cruises around the visualdrama of Ha Long Bay. This fully updatedthird edition is the perfect introduction to this lively, vibrant andcolourful country with its vast cultural diversity and abundance of natural andleisuretime attractions.
