Tour description:
The Ben Hai River in
Central Vietnam marks the 17th parallel, which once marked the
demarcation line between North and South Vietnam. Though reunited over
two decades ago, the north south division of Vietnam remains obvious.
When the Ben Hai River is crossed from north to south, everything seems
to improve, roads and food being the most obvious.
Central
Vietnam is home to a wealth of attractions from the ancient imperial
capital of Hue to the cosmopolitan shopping and the beach destinations
of Hoi An and China Beach.
Less glamourously, the region is home
to the Demiliterised Zone (DMZ) which was the scene of heavy fighting
during the American war. This part of the country is dotted with all
manner of war-period attractions, including the remains of Khe Sanh and
other US bases along the DMZ. Unfortunately, little remains at most of
these sites as time and scrap hunters have had their way.
The
one exception is the Vinh Moc tunnels -- a breathtaking testament of
the tenacity of the Vietnamese people and a far more worthwhile
attraction than the far more touristic Cu Chi tunnels.
Most
travellers to Vietnam pencil in Hue and Hoi An as definite "must sees"
but then fail to allow themselves enough time in each town. This is
particularly the case with Hoi An, where, while it can feel almost
Disneylandesque at times, people are always running out of time. If you
allowed just a couple of days for Hoi An, be sure to double it.
And
don't forget Da Nang. It's home to more than just the closest airport
to Hoi An! There's also a terrific Cham Museum, China Beach and an
overall rather fun, little touristed Vietnamese city.
