Vietnam... It's a very old country, which from 1946 to 1975 experienced the longest war of the 20th century. These tragic events often overshadow the long history and rich cultural and spiritual heritage that have shaped the Land of the Dragon. In this chapter, we'll take a look at some historical milestones, as well as at the country's geography. The landscapes of North Vietnam are renowned for being sumptuous, from the winding roads of the high mountains of the Dông Van plateau, to the karst peaks rising above the sea in Halong Bay, to the verdant terraced rice fields of Pu Luông, but as elsewhere, natural riches are threatened by rapid economic growth and climate change. Demographic and social issues will also be addressed... In short, everything the traveler needs to know before setting off to discover Vietnam.
