Vietnam is a country of great beauty and variety. Many of its people live outside the busy towns and cities, surviving on what food they can obtain from land and sea. Through the ages, the courageous and hard-working Vietnamese have defended their country against some of the largest nations in the world. During the twentieth century, Vietnam was painfully divided by a long war, which left it one of the poorest countries in Asia. Barely twenty-five years have passed since the north and south were officially reunited under a Communist government.
Conditions within Vietnam have been slow to improve, but now links with other countries are helping the economy grow stronger. Today, the Vietnamese are working to belnd the old with the new, and to secure a better future for the children through education, the development of modern industries and friendship with other nations.
Can you imagine an ancient country torn by war, whose courageous people delight in their brilliantly-coloured kites, dragon festivals and unique water puppets? There you can visit craggy limestone islands, climb through forest to the thatched villages of hill tribes or explore the secret tunnels of Cu Chi and learn about the ever-growing Vietnam. |
