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.
Vietnam - has
emerged as one of Southeast Asia's most fascinating
tourist destinations. Having been isolated from the
outside world for several decades, Vietnam today welcomes
visitors to its country of exotic culture, spectacular
natural beauty and genuine friendliness. Attractions
and areas of interest include: Ho Chi Minh City, Nha
Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi, Dalat, Mekong Delta and
Halong Bay.
Laos - remains
one of the few places in Asia where daily life and
traditions have remain unchanged for centuries. Laos
retains a sense of timelessness with its simple way
of life and unspoilt natural landscape. Areas of interest
include: Vientiane, Lunag Prabang and the "Plain
of Jars".
Cambodia's -
rich cultural legacy is embedded in a thousand year
old history that dates back to the Funan period which
spanned the 1st to 6th centuries. The most notable
feature of its history is the Angkorian period (9th
to 12th centuries) which produced Angkor Wat , a renowned
world heritage site, which is one of the world's greatest
religious architectural monument. Other attractions
