TRAVEL GUIDE: VIETNAM

With its lush, tropical weather and mysterious but friendly culture, Vietnam has become a great escape for travelers from all over the world. Plus, there are many adventures to choose from: relax on the warm beaches of Nha Trang, trek through ancient remains in the imperial city Hue, sample local dishes in downtown Hanoi, or even see remnants of the Vietnam War at the museum in Ho Chi Minh City.
