  Vietnam and Indochina
Although the French influence is still evident in the architecture and cuisine, the former Indochinese countries have still retained their natural way of life and traditional cultural practices. Most of the population is still predominantly rural and continue to rely on agriculture as their main livelihood. In these countries, you will witness farmers tending rice fields, colourful bazaars on land and waters and ancient temples preserved as sacred monuments.

Indochina attracts travellers, whom like past explorers, seek intrigue and the thrill of discovery. Each of the three countries which comprise Indochina has own its own unique atmosphere, culture and attractions.
