Travelling to Vietnam

The Jewel of the Far East

Vietnam used to be called "The Jewel of the Far East". It's fascinating how the country has become over the years; with beautiful scenery, amazing cuisine, and an awesome kaleidoscope of cultures that you definitely need to experience for yourself!

VIetnam culture is a complex adaptation of Chinese, Japanese, French and American colonial influences. Construction styles vary from traditional stilt houses and Chinese style pagodas to colonial French architecture and thin tube houses. In religious construction, pagodas are for worship and offerings, while temples are built to honor historical figures

Vietnam is also home to the world's largest cave, Son Doong.

Vietnam's street food culture is quite popular and considered by many to be one of the best in the world. Noodles or "pho" are the second most popular food in Vietnam, after boiled rice.

Foreigners have the option of applying for a Temporary Residence Card, which is cheaper and easier to process than a visa.

Nguyen is the most common name in the country.
