 Country and

Where is Vietnam?
Hanoi

Ho Chi Minh City

It takes only 1 hour

45 minutes to fly
from Singapore to
Hochiminh City and
about 3 hours to
Hanoi.

 
 Hà Nội
Hanoi exuberates both the regality of
the ancient Vietnamese capital and
distinguished charms of a colonial
capital. It is also one of the few
Southeast Asian cities that has a true
four-season climate.

   
 Huế

Hue, the Festival city of Vietnam, is

a worthy must-visited place. Coming
Hue ,you have a chance to visit the
World Cultural Heritage, the Citadel,
enjoy the traditional foods and join
the biggest International Cultural
    in Vietnam !
Festival
The economic heart of Vietnam and the Hồ Chí Minh City
Indochina region. It has attracted both
migrants and sojourners who came in
search of a better life or lucrative
economic opportunities. As such, Ho
Chi Minh City is an urban centre of
diverse cultures and peoples.

54 Ethnic Groups throughout our land.
Yes… Vietnam is really a big family,
a friendly family.

   
Unique costume –
Ao dai

These images
are commonly
seen all over
Vietnam. The
long dress is
known as “áo
dài” in
Vietnamese.
The white áo
dài is the
uniform for
high school
girls.    
Traditional Vietnamese costume

Young and middle age

ladies prefer the áo dài
in other colors. The áo
dài is worn in both
casual and formal
occasions. It is also
the traditional
Vietnamese bridal
costume.
   
Daily life - Motorcycles

Motorcycles
define traffic in
Vietnam. Cars
maybe desired
by the new rich
, but
motorcycles
still rule the
roads!

   
Daily life – Street vendors

Street vendors are

also a common
scene in Vietnam.
They can be seen
every where,
especially on the
streets in big cities
like Hanoi and
Hochiminh City.

   
Daily life - Coffee culture

Vietnamese drink coffee

anytime of the day and
anywhere. The simplicity of
the Vietnamese coffee filter
makes it a rather unique
artifact in the world of coffee.
By the way, Vietnam is the
world’s second largest
exporter of robusta coffee!
