How the bloody and for certain versos absurd war of the Vietcong of the years '60 - '70 of last century is far!
After the occupation of Saigon (1975), the retirement of the USA troops, the reunification of the country (1976) and at last the constitution of 1992, which recognized the principle of the private property, today Vietnam is a poor state, but at the same time an economic reality among the most lively ones of its area.
The landscape is very good, there are the delta of Mekong (intently cultivated to rice and sugar cane), central plateuas covered with forests, mountain typical environments and the beauties, by often exalting, of its coasts long beyond 3.000 kilometers.
And then it is pleasant to see that despite of a deep-rooted cultural and religious tradition, the change of the present civilization and the face of the towns move quickly. There are always more shops, markets, restaurants and hotels.
