Join YPT as we cross the whole of Vietnam in search of traces of the latest history of the country, catching the train across the border to South West China!
On this tour, we are exploring the length and breadth of this country, from the impact of the Vietnam War to its nature and people, and one of the most delicious cuisines in the whole of Asia.
We start in Ho Chi Minh City – Saigon – where we check out the Cu Chi Tunnels and War Remnants Museum as well as life in general in this awesome city. We then head up the coast to Nha Trang and Hue to see more of Vietnam’s ancient history and local people, and we won’t pass the opportunity for a few drinks by the beach either!
Everyone knows the DMZ on the Korean peninsula, but we jump back in time and see what divided Vietnam until the unification of the country in 1979. And of course, we end in the capital Hanoi, visiting the mausoleum of Uncle Ho Chi Minh himself.
For those joining Group B, we take the train over the border to China into Guangxi province, heading to Yangshuo, home of cormorant fishing and awesome karst rock scenery so beautiful its even on the back of the 20 yuan note!
