The best place in Southeast Asia to witness the convergence of the old and new is Vietnam.
Vietnam of today is a youthful nation fueled by the desire for modernisation and commercialisation while protective of its traditional past. In the stoic political capital of Hanoi in the north and vibrant cosmopolitan Ho Chi Minh City in the south, observing modern cities in the making. But along small streets, like those in the Old Quarter in Hanoi, you will still find silversmiths practicing their century-old trade, far removed from the modern changes around them. The former imperial capital of Hue and the ancient port city of Hoi An offer an evocative glimpse into the country’s rich historical past. Impressive structures from the 18th-century Nguyen Dynasty are a living testament to the royal legacy of Vietnam’s glorious days.
Vietnam boasts amazingly varied landscapes; from precipitous mountains in Northen of Vietnam with emerald terraced rice fields to uncharted forests in Tam Dao, Cuc Phuong, Phong Nha, and Nam Cat Tien to deserted pristine beaches. While large resort developments are heavily concentrated along the coastline of Vietnam in Danang, Qui Nhon, Cam Ranh, Nha Trang, and Phan Thiet, there are still many parts of the country that remain untouched like the castaway islands of the Con Dao archipelago and Phu Quoc Island, an ideal getaway for those seeking an off the beaten path experience.
It is the contrasting characteristics of the country, from its historical past to its modern developments and its diverse landscapes and people that will leave a lasting impression.

In general, Vietnam has a tropical climate with average annual temperatures ranging from 22˚C (72˚F) to 30˚C (86˚F). There are two distinct seasons: wet and dry.
From April to October, most of the country is affected by south-western monsoons. The rains, which tend to be concentrated in the late afternoons, provide welcome relief to the heat. Travel to very remote areas may be affected by the rains, but overall they should not interfere with your trip.
Packing for a trip to Vietnam can be challenging, as the climate can vary significantly depending on when and where you go. When the weather isn’t ideal in one area, it’s great in another.
While Hanoi is cold enough to warrant a coat from December to February, this is an excellent time to visit Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. Although the temperatures are consistent year round, various parts of the country, at certain times of the year, can be affected by unpredictable storms which may cause flooding.
