Vietnam War
Luxury Journey To Vietnam
Code: PV - SH 27 - 09
routes: Ho Chi Minh city - Mekong Delta - Nhatrang - Hoian - Hue - Halong bay - Hanoi
Duration: 09 days
Feature: Our program is ideal for the traveler with limited time who wants to have a panorama of the diversity and the majestic beauty of Vietnam. Vietnam Insight is a colorful mix of cultural impressions and nature. We will visit the capitol Hanoi with its colonial charm, the royal city Hue on the banks of the Perfume river with its palaces and Emperor’s tombs; the ancient Hoi An and the lively Metropole of the South HoChiMinh City or better known as Saigon. We come to see natural wonders like the Bay of Halong with its more than 3000 islands and the tropical Mekong Delta with its lush fruit gardens.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Upon arrival in Saigon, the bustling heart of Vietnam, you will be transferred to your hotel for a two-night stay. Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's commercial capital and a city of extraordinary energy. This afternoon enjoy some brief touring, including the Ben Thanh Market, Cholon (Chinatown) and the ornate Thien Hau Pagoda, and the unique shops along Donh Khoi Street (formerly Rue Catinat). Tonight is free at your leisure, Stay overnight in Saigon.
Day 2: Depart this morning by road for the province of Tay Ninh and visit the ornate Cao Dai Temple (The Holy See). The Cao Dai religion attempts to fuse together many of the existing faiths in Vietnam. Observe the mid-day religious ceremony and then, after lunch at a local restaurant, travel to the hills around Cu Chi in an area known as the "Iron Triangle." Explore the network of secret tunnels that were used during the Vietnam War -- the tunnels and their cramped quarters lend insight into the determination and tenacity of the Vietnamese fighters. Return to Saigon later this afternoon.
Day 3: Today you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Danang; upon arrival you will be transferred to your hotel. After settling in, you will visit the Museum of Cham Sculpture and the Marble Mountains. The Cham people occupied this area of Vietnam from the 4th to the 16th centuries and in the museum you will find the best examples of Cham sculpture anywhere in the world. The Marble Mountains are a series of large marble outcrops that have acquired mythical significance over the centuries. The caves of the Marble Mountains have a number of sacred Buddhist shrines as well as a former Communist guerrilla hospital from the Vietnam War. The balance of the day is at leisure to enjoy your resort.
Day 4: This morning tour Hoi An with your guide and driver. Hoi An was Vietnam's most active trading center over many centuries and has been largely preserved. The architecture of the city reflects the influence of Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, French and British traders. Enjoy a walking tour of this enchanting town visiting an old merchant house, the Hoi An Museum, a Chinese Assembly Hall and the Japanese Covered Bridge. Also explore its many craft and silk shops and the colorful fish and produce markets. Return to the resort later this afternoon for some time at leisure.
Day 5: Depart this morning for the 2.5 hour drive to Hue, a beautiful and welcoming city. This spectacular journey takes you over the scenic Hai Van Pass (Pass of the Ocean Clouds), where you will enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline. As Vietnam's capital throughout the Nguyen Dynasty, as a center of Vietnamese Buddhism and scholarship, and finally as the setting for some of the Vietnam War's most bloody fighting, Hue provides a unique window into Vietnam and its complex past. After settling into your hotel, tour the Citadel and visit Thien Mu Pagoda, Hue's oldest pagoda. Also visit the tomb of Tu Duc, set among lotus ponds, fragrant pine and frangipani trees. Tu Duc was one of the more eccentric Nguyen emperors, with a penchant for poetry and banquets. Take a short cruise along the Perfume River late afternoon and enjoy the setting sun. Tonight is at leisure. You may wish to sample some of Hue's famous vegetarian cuisine.
Day 6: After a morning at leisure in Hue, you will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Hanoi. Start your explorations of this city with some afternoon touring, which will include a visit to the Old Quarter, 36 ancient streets where peddlers continue to trade as they have done for centuries. End the day with an evening performance of Water Puppet Theater. Water puppets are a folk art tradition unique to northern Vietnam. The often-comic story is told by puppeteers who manipulate the brightly painted wooden puppets through the water while remaining unseen. The plays are based on historical and religious themes; often, famous battles of Vietnamese history are re-told, with fireworks and opera singing creating a truly wondrous spectacle.
Day 7: Today's full day of private touring takes in the highlights of Hanoi. Begin with a tour of the mausoleum that holds the interred body of the late President Ho Chi Minh. Also visit his traditional teakwood house, the simple dwelling he preferred to the material grandeur of a palace. Visit the One-Pillar Pagoda, originally built in the 11th century. It is shaped like a lotus to commemorate the birth of the Emperor's heir as predicted by a goddess sitting on a lotus. Continue to the Temple of Literature, the most significant temple complex in the city and a testament to the Confucian history of the city. After lunch visit the superb Fine Arts Museum, then walk around the Hoan Kiem Lake area -- -Hanoi's heart, and a great place to admire the boulevards of French colonial architecture that contributes greatly to the city's atmosphere. This afternoon return to the Old Quarter for shopping.
Day 8: This morning, journey east a little over 03 hours to Bai Chay, the gateway to Halong Bay. En route, pass fields of busy workers farming rice using traditional methods of cultivation. Halong Bay achieved international fame as a key location in the French film Indochine starring Catherine Deneuve. The bay has assumed an important position in Vietnamese legend for many centuries and continues to capture the imagination of visitors. On arrival, transfer to the port for a magical four hours aboard your boat cruising around the bay. Considered Vietnam's greatest natural wonder, Halong Bay boasts over 3,000 islands that jut out of the sea to provide a spectacular natural environment. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch on board the boat and, in the afternoon, travel back to Hanoi.
Day 9: Today you will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight. End of our service.

Vietnam war?
I'm writing a report on the Vietnam War. I don't understand it exactly. For my report, I have to put why it began. Does anyone know why? I know it was after the end of the first Indochina war. Could someone also explain to me what happened in the Indochina war?
Please :]
Domino Theory, Geneva Convention/Accords, that kinda stuff. Basically, the Domino Theory states that if one country falls to Communism, then the countries around it will fall and so on, so forth. Vietnam was split at... the 17th parallel (I think) because of this Geneva Accord... thing. In the Truman Doctrine, the US said that we would help any country that was fighting Communism with either financial, military, or economical aid. Therefore, we entered the war, and, by proxy, we were fighting the Soviets, who were the big Communist force at that time (this was one of the proxy wars of the Cold War).
Is that good enough to at least start the paper?
