							Listed as <strong>a</strong> <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010</strong>, the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long is the core place to  sample Vietnam’s history and culture. It is hard to imagine that this city was  once alive as the political center of Vietnam for 13 consecutive centuries as well as being the capital for 800 years. Some buildings remain in good condition while the rest  are in &nbsp;the process being restored, but you can still view them.

							Just outside  Ho Chi Minh City, these tunnels are still tangible with <strong>a  history of over 40 years</strong>. With a length of more than 120 kilometers, these tunnels were  first built for fighting the French in 1948. Now visitors can get a glimpse of  the underground life led by Viet Cong soldiers.

							“Without doubt, no other river, over such a length,has  a more singular or remarkable character,” gushed Francis Garnier,  second-in-command of the French Mekong Expedition in the 1860s. With a length  of 4,909 kilometers, <strong>the river goes through six countries</strong> in total. China, Cambodia, Laos,  Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam are all linked by the Mekong Delta.
						</p>
						<p>
							<strong>Floating markets and a boat tour</strong> are  the most popular things to do when traveling to the Vietnam part of the Mekong Delta. Wake &nbsp;up early and visit the floating market at Phong Dien. It has retained its traditional  way of doing business and you will be able to see standing boat rowers there. Then  take a boat trip to visit the islets and interesting orchards &nbsp;that are around the delta. 2-3  day trips are enough to explore the area. Don’t forget to taste the delicious  Canh chua.

							Being 3½&nbsp;hours' drive away from Hanoi,  visitors have the chance to see <strong>seven ethnic minority groups</strong> there -White Thai,  Hmong, Zao, Muong, Tay, Hoa and Viet, of which the White Thai people are the major  inhabitants. The stilt houses made of bamboo and timber are also something special  for most travelers to see. Locals call them Thai stilt houses and build them that way  to prevent water from getting into the house and to shelter the animals.
