Vietnam is an exciting country for tourism and investment. Bustling street life, delicious cuisine and majestic scenery all await you. A country constantly in motion, Vietnam always balances young urban culture with traditional values. In the city, ancient temples are just a turn away from modern shops. In the countryside, life still flows along the rivers and harvests. This contrast between old and new makes up a large part of Vietnam's appeal. Another reason to visit Vietnam is its natural beauty. The North has majestic mountains and beautiful limestone bays. The Central Coast Road leads to historical relics and romantic beaches. And in the South, the sleepless life of Ho Chi Minh City and the riverside villages in the Mekong Delta will make you want to linger forever.
Vietnam has an area of 331,212 km², a land border of 4,639 km, a coastline of 3,260 km, and shares a maritime border with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand and with China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia through the East Sea. Vietnam claims sovereignty over two disputed geographical entities in the East Sea, the Hoang Sa archipelagos (which has lost control in reality) and Truong Sa
Vietnam is a country with 54 different ethnic groups, each of which has its own unique and impressive culture and identity. It is this difference in ethnic composition that has contributed to creating a very diverse, rich and unique beauty for Vietnam's culture that no other country can replace. Customs in Vietnam have a long tradition spanning thousands of years, it has become customary law, deep and firmly embedded in the hearts of every Vietnamese person.
Vietnam's history began from 1 to 2 thousand years BC. Over many centuries with the Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties, from the mid-19th century, Vietnam became a French colony. After the August Revolution, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 marked the end of the French in the territory, but Vietnam was divided into two countries: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the North and the Republic of Vietnam in the South. After the events of April 30, 1975, Vietnam was unified and from July 2, 1976, officially named the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
