Vietnam
Vietnam is a country rich in culture with a long history and ancient traditions. It has many historic sights, old temples, and inspiring landscapes. Vietnam's most beautiful region is Halong bay, meaning 'descending dragon'. With over 3,000 oddly shaped limestone islets, the natural beauty of the grottoes is captivating. Another highlight is the city of Hue, the ancient capital of the Annamese - located about halfway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. For those who love nature, a visit to northwest Vietnam is a 'Must'.
Laos
Natural in almost every aspect, Laos is one of Southeast Asia's least developed nations offering the adventurous tourist a land of many surprises. Embrace this wonderful opportunity to experience its untouched culture and its majestic beauty. Surnamed the 'Land of a Million Elephants,' Laos has a rich cultural heritage with religious art and architecture forming the cornerstone of artistic traditions. Enjoy a trip to Wat Phousy on top of the hill overlooking the Mekong River and experience the Wat Xieng Thong, the most beautiful temple. Since 1995 Luang Prabang has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage City.
