Vietnam Tour & Travel Guide - Tourist Places near Vietnam

From the gorgeous temples to a chaotic capital to sleepy seaside towns, Cambodia has a much to offer in terms of its stunning locales and an equally intriguing history. The mother of all temples, Angkor Wat makes for a divine experience especially with its fusion of symbolism, symmetry and spirituality. You can chart the various charms of this magical kingdom starting from the capital city of Phnom Penh, which is a compelling hub of political intrigue and intellectual debate. Then stop by at Siem Reapis to enjoy the city?s beautiful riverside and cultural renaissance. The other places that must feature on your itinerary include Kampot from where you can trek the Bokor National Park or take an elephant ride in the jungles of Mondulkiri Province and of course check out the Mekong dolphins at Kratie or just relax at a beach near Sihanoukville.

Laos

With its pristine environment and fascinating culture, Laos is fast becoming a popular tourist destination after years of war and isolation. It has kept its old traditions alive and the simple village life by the riverside will give you the much needed relaxed holiday. But that?s not all, Laos is also as much about its wilderness and sense of adventure. You can go kayaking, rafting, rock-climbing and biking, or try its most popular activity, which is the community-based trekking in the most spectacular natural locations and do the much recommended village homestay. The places you much keep in mind include the capital city of Vientiane and the historic royal city of Luang Prabang where you can see the hundreds of saffron-robed monks move silently among ancient monasteries. Other places to see are the Plain of Jars in Xieng Khuang Province, the forested mountains of Northern Laos, the gothic limestone karsts around the backpacker-haven Vang Vieng and in the deep south, past the market town Pakse, is Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands).

Whether you?re looking for the busy urban experience or isolated mountain tops or the calming monasteries, China?s got it all. The hustle bustle of Shanghai, the volcanic dishes of Sichuan, Pudong?s ambitious skyline and Tibet?s divine panoramas span through the diversities that mark this nation. With one of the most ancient civilizations of the world, China has moved ahead of the times with fast paced development, both of which will be evident in the historical and modern icons found all over the country. As fascinating as the country are its people, known for their talkative nature and sharp and quick intellect
