Along Vietnam 21 days

The winding road along Vietnam’s coastline connecting the country’s important cities and towns has borne witness to many twists and turns in her recent history. Built in the 18th century by Vietnamese foot soldiers and mandarins, it was called mandarin route. From the hectic traffic and fast business pace of HoChiMinh city to pristine beaches in PhanThiet, NhaTrang, Danang… and historical sites in QuiNhon, Hoian, Hue and Hanoi, the mandarin route will be with you wherever you go.
