Vietnam Circuit

About the destination: Hanoi, príomhchathair Vietnam, agus an dara cathair is mó sa tír freisin, is ea ceann de na cathracha is draíochtúla in Áise le carachtar uathúil. Tá rian fágtha ag blianta de ghabháil eachtrach ar an gcathair seo mar a léirítear sna músaemanna suimiúla, na foirgnimh stairiúla, na pagodas, an mausoleum, agus a cheantar Francach féin a thugann atmaisféar an-dhifriúil don chathair. Is é an bealach is fearr chun Hanoi a aithint ná ag siúl timpeall. Níl an lár stairiúil rófhairsing, tá go leor áiteanna le cuairt a thabhairt orthu ann nó sna timpeallachtaí láithreach, agus is é an siúlóid an bealach is fearr chun teagmháil a dhéanamh le muintir chairdiúil Hanoi. Tá Hanoi ar aithint mar chathair na lochanna mar tá go leor lochanna agus crainn timpeall ar an gcathair, an ceann is mó ná an Loch Thiar, Ho Tay, agus an ceann is cáiliúla sa lár cathrach ná Loch an Chlaidhimh Athchóirithe, Ho Hoan Kiem. An rud álainn faoi Hanoi ná na codarsnachtaí suimiúla ailtireachta, ó na seanfhoirgnimh traidisiúnta sa Cheantar Sean go dtí na foirgnimh ollmhóra stíle Eorpach sa Cheantar Francach go dtí na séadchomharthaí Coiméadaí ag Mausoleum Ho Chi Minh agus na ceantair máguaird, gan trácht ar an ailtireacht traidisiúnta álainn a bhaineann lena teampall, mar shampla an Pagoda Quan Su. Is cathair síochánta agus gniomhach í Hanoi, ag borbairt le beatha sráide agus margadh exótaigh ach síochánta timpeall na pagodas agus na dteampall ciúin. Is í Cathair an Dragan Ardaithe an áit le bheith i Vietnam.

About the destination: Ho Chi Minh City, previously known as Saigon, is the biggest city in Vietnam. It's a modern, vibrant and bustling city. It's economically active, brimming with lively markets and it's without a doubt the nation’s commercial hub. Despite being the country’s most modern city by a long shot, it maintains a unique Vietnamese character and you can still see traces of a grand Colonial past in this former gem of the east. In the heart of the city, which locals still fondly call Saigon, you'll find some of the city’s main attractions such as the Opera house, railway station, Notre Dame cathedral, Reunification Palace, the Saigon river and the Markets. To take a break from the city, you can take a tour to the Mekong Delta or to Da Lat, if you have more time. Da Lat, situated in the highlands about 300km from the city is worth the journey as there's plenty to see and do including waterfalls, gardens, the old French Quarter and the local restaurants which serve fantastic local food. The commercial and financial centre of Vietnam is an exciting and intriguing sprawling metropolis that does its best to preserve the way of life and culture of this magnificent country.

About the destination: Phan Thiết, or Phan Thiết city, is the capital of Bình Thuận province, in Southeastern Vietnam, where all government offices for the province are located. While most of the inhabitants live in the city center, the others live in the four wards, extending from Suoi Nuoc beach in the northeast to the Ke Ga lighthouse in the southwest. The beaches of Ke Ga and Tien Thanh are peaceful and quiet, inviting tourists to swim and relax. Phu Hai ward covers a hilly area along the coastline and has many small beaches and hidden coves. Many of the resorts in this ward are built above the water on the hills and have a small beach to themselves. One of the great tourist attractions of Ham Tien is the so-called Fairy Stream, where a small stream has carved a canyon through the dunes, revealing colorful layers of sand. Another tourist attraction are the orange sand dunes, located on a hill between Mui Ne and Hon Rom. The larger white dunes are around 23 kilometers north of the town.
