The Indochina countries are known as a largely unexplored part in the world. These countries have a lot of things you need to discover in depth.

Tam Coc landscape, an attractive sites, is a green valley covered with limestone peaks. The stalactites and stalagmites are impressive, but can be a little disappointed because of few riff-offs. In our case, our boat was rowed by a very thin woman who sometimes must stop to rest because of her hand fatigue. Some girls carefully took care of us and did a hard selling at the turn-round point and your rower will require more money at the stop place. The Hanoi capital is an attractive destination with a lot of nice sites. The prior visit was a unique pagoda designed to resemble a lotus blossom. Temple of Literature, the oldest university in Vietnam where many students graduated with high flying colors, is also a must-see in Hanoi divided into five landscaped courtyards. Here you also can see a very big bell… try ringing it one time, why not? Driving to Halong bay, our car passed through green fields, lazy buffaloes, and everyday Vietnamese village life. All of us were brought on the boat for exploring the Bay of Descending Dragons. The rooms were clean and met our expectations, definitely value for money. The buffet was huge; they wore eye-catching uniforms and just kept on bringing more food to our table. The junk passed by spectacular stone blocks, and stopped at Surprise Cave, a large and amazing grotto divided into three vast chambers. The first looks like a wide theater hall with many stalactites hanging from the high ceiling and the inner chamber is a large room with granite pavements and colored-lighting beautification. At the side of the entrance, one legend involves a rock that seems like a horse with a long sword.

Apart from Hoi An ancient town, My Son Sanctuary was a world heritage site you can't pass by. Located in a lush valley, My Son was a masterpiece of ancient Cham architecture. At the entry, a traditional dance show was one thing you had better not skip. The dance show was actually quite good; but it was too hot…With the sounds of panpipe and drum, beautiful girls wearing colorful traditional costumes approached us and took our hand to dance together. In Hue, we did a boat ride to the sights along the ‘Perfume River’ in the large space with the flat flow of water. The river itself is lovely because of the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. On the left bank of the river, you will see Thien Mu Pagoda, contains numerous living and working buildings for its resident monks, a bell tower and a monument in front. Its most striking feature is the seven tiered tower representing the seven steps of enlightenment. When traveling to these countries, tour with a Vietnam tour operator so that you get all the information.

Enjoying a full day cruise on Tonle Sap Lake with floating houses and schools, churches and even floating basket ball courts! Journey out in the lake gave us the chance to experience the centuries-old lifestyle of the inhabitants. Here what we did right: we prepared to meet young children, and the day before we purchased plenty of stationery supplies - crayons, pencils, sharpeners, color pencils and notebooks, also candy. Entering a class run by a smart young Vietnamese volunteer teacher, we distributed the gifts to the class and this was quite rewarding. Kids smiled in happiness. Driving through countryside roads, we arrived at Wat Phnom temple, a revered place of worship for all Khmer. The main entrance to the temple was via the grand eastern staircase, guarded by lions and balustrades. Afterwards we visited an orphanage, and were very impressed with the work done there. Not only do the people there bring up children and provide them with basic education, but they also try to be self supportive by growing beds of green vegetables. Children were very enthusiastic about our visit and loved to talk to us, definitely the highlight of our trip. These children deserve better care from the commodity.

If you wish to join active activities, Vang Vieng seems to have something for you! Experience a kayak with a fast exciting stream…. adventurous feelings, and extend into a longer river exploration. As paddling, we saw people there doing the gardening activities on the bank, villagers catching fish with nets, even buffaloes soaking in the cool water. A short cruise on Nam Song River was a great chance to experience the rural life. To understand the Laos royal family much better, visit the Royal Palace Museum, a spectacular and large palace with gardens and building units located for several miles. The outstanding was the gifts on display given to the royal family, and classic cars exhibit at the back…really impressive. And there's nothing much to do in the evening, so we went to the night food market where merchants line up to sell their foodstuff. It was so busy and the food was great as well, but quite spicy. A site you must see in the capital of Laos was Wat Si Saket, an old temple. The highlight was unique niches in the walls decorated with small statues. It attracted us from the first impression; we felt comfortable and pleasant in here and learned more about the Laos country. Our next stop was the Morning Market, hub of local commerce and where the action was. Enjoy a pleasant stroll and interesting shopping with full of goods displayed around every corner. Through this journey, we concluded a thing: you must travel to Vietnam Cambodia at least once time in your life!
