Vietnam

A woman in Hanoi is carrying a lot of different fruits with her bike. She is standing behind the bike. The woman is wearing a traditional Vietnamese conical hat, and she's also wearing a mask. The fruit is very colourful, with yellow, orange and red being the most visible colours.

In the northern regions, rolling mountains are home to swirling patterns of rice paddies, while the southern shores are all about the golden beaches. The country's dishes are equally varied, with classic dishes such as Phở and Bánh Mì and even the delightful egg coffee (Davide's favourite). In Vietnam you can explore ancient imperial cities and learn about the customs of mountain tribes. Vietnam is a feast for the senses.
