About Vietnam - An Overview

Officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Vietnam is a country occupying Southeast Asia at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia. It shares its borders with China in the north and Laos and Cambodia in the west. It holds the record of being the world’s fifteenth-most populous country with a population of approximately 96 million. The capital city of Vietnam is Hanoi and the largest city is Ho Chi Minh City which is commonly known as Saigon.

The Vietnamese culture has developed over the centuries from indigenous ancient Đȏng Sơn culture with wet rice cultivation as its economic base. The influence of Chinese cultures such as the Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, and Hainanese cultures is more evident in the north where Buddhism is strongly entwined with popular culture. Recently, Western cultures have become popular among recent generations of people in Vietnam.

The number of days needed to visit Vietnam entirely depends on the interest, time, and budget of the couple. Hence, if you want to explore only the major cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, Halong Bay, or Hoi An, you can wrap up the trip within 7-10 days. However, if you want to explore some more and want to participate in fun activities, you can extend your trip for a week or two. And lastly, if you are flexible with time and want to take a deep dive into the culture, tradition, and art of Vietnam, a month-long trip can work wonders.
