Elect's take

"Vietnam has a quality of food, culture and landscape that I find endlessly compelling. The country runs from north to south with remarkable variety and every region seems to have its own distinct identity and flavour."

Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of genuine majesty. Cruising through the limestone karsts on a junk boat at sunrise is one of the great Southeast Asian experiences. Hanoi is one of the region's most characterful capitals with an outstanding Old Quarter. Hoi An is perhaps Vietnam's most atmospheric destination, a UNESCO listed ancient trading port of lantern lit streets and excellent restaurants. Ho Chi Minh City reflects Vietnam's remarkable economic transformation. Vietnamese cuisine is outstanding at every level from street food to fine dining.
