From the Back Cover
Vietnam¦s meteoric rise onto the international travel scene has occurred in little over a decade, during which time the economic boom of the 1980s brought unparalleled prosperity to the cities. But life in rural areas remains rooted firmly in tradition. Here, timeless values of selflessness and concern for the stranger ensure that the visitor is made truly welcome. The Bradt Guide to Vietnam was the first English-language guide to this intriguing country, with its colorful festivals, myths and legends, rich scenery and mouth-watering cuisine. Now fully updated, this third edition features increased coverage of Vietnam¦s natural history and national parks, and opens up a vast range of opportunities and attractions for visitors of all budgets. This handy volume contains suggested itineraries throughout the country, extensive coverage of natural history and national parks, fully updated practical information, comprehensive background information, and all the information any traveler needs to know about how to get around - by road, rail, air and sea.

Use a different guide book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to Vietnam (Bradt Guides) (Paperback)
Having traveled extensively throughout Asia in our 14 years of living in Tokyo and Hong Kong, we decided to try a new publisher of guide books for our first trip to Vietnam and Laos. Our choice of this book was a mistake and the only blot on an otherwise rewarding and fulfilling trip to two wonderful countries. Never again we will we consider a guide by this author. Factually inaccurate, historically distorted and inflammatory as well as arrogant in the extreme, the guide was an insulting waste of money. Just about any other guide book is better than relying on this one.
