Vietnam offers a wealth of rich scenery - the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south; coastal rice paddies juxtaposed to sublime beaches; spectacular river deltas and forests; the rock formations, sea cliffs and the grottoes of Halong Bay; the World Heritage town of Hoi An and the colonial elegance of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi; deserted beaches like Mui Ne or the livelier but no less beautiful resorts further north in Nha Trang.
