Vietnam is a riddle waiting to unfold itself in your reality the beautiful serenity of it’s unspoilt rural areas contrasts with the unbridled chaos of the cities, the beautiful mix of Chinese, Buddhist, Japanese, Communist and Colonial architecture offers up another contrast biting at the heals of this order is the sprawl and chaos that has unfolded since the country decided to liberalise it’s economy.
The beauty and calm found in places like Ha Long Bay with it’s never ending islands and caves to explore or Sapa with it’s rolling hills and rural idle is a direct contrast to the chaos of the spawling cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). In the cities the scooters rules ok and to cross the road is to hope.
Exploring and photographing Vietnam is a delight not to be missed at every turn there is a new discovery to be made. An excitement to share, it’s trip of contrasts with sprawling cities and rural idles which really can’t be missed. Checkout more of my Vietnam Photos in the gallery
