Vietnam
An understanding of history still goes a long way in Vietnam, since the country has a unique civilization and a highly cultured people. Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country’s natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by women in conical hats.
The Vietnam War isn’t called that in Vietnam. It is called “the American War” and was ended in 1975, killed an estimated three million people, flattened cities and destroyed much of the country’s infrastructure and farmland.
