Vietnam
Vietnam stretches along a dramatic coastline from the misty mountains of the north to the Mekong Delta in the south, packing karst bays, terraced rice fields, ancient trading towns and two very different capitals into one long, narrow country. Its cuisine, motorbike-driven cities and deep, complex history make it one of Asia's most rewarding places to travel slowly.
