Traverse a land wrought with natural and cultural history and that once dominated news wires. Travelers usually visit the well-known cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon.
In Hanoi, you might visit Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum or attend a water puppet show, a performance art many centuries old. In Ho Chi Minh City, stroll through the Binh Tay Market, the city's largest. To satisfy history buffs, there's the War Remnants Museum, also in Ho Chi Minh City. Outside the city are the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of tunnels used by the Viet Cong.
