Turprogramen er planlagt således at der er variation i oplevelserne. Forstået på den måde at programindholdet veksler mellem asiatisk storbyliv - natur - historie - kultur - mindre aktiviteter såsom kajakroning og svømning i Halong Bugten, trækking i Sapa, bådture i Hue og Mekong deltaet. Turen strækker sig geografisk fra Sapa i det nordligste til Mekongdeltaet i den sydligste del af landet. Og ikke bare er der langt i kilometrer, der er også stor variation i oplevelserne på rejseruten fra Nord til Syd. Fra de etniske stammefolk i de bjergrige egne, over klassiske seværdigheder i storbyerne Hanoi og Ho Chi Minh City og ophold i skønne naturomgivelser på båd i Halong bugten og på en lodge gemt godt af vejen i det flodrige deltaområde i Mekong. Din rejser begynder i Hanoi, lands hovedstad, en af Asiens smukkeste og mest romantiske byer, med brede boulevarder, store skyggefulde træer, de mange små og store parker, søer og

2 mange smukke franske palæer. Oplev Hanois vidunderlige mylder af farverige markeder og rygende gadekøkkener, en oplevelse du kan få stor glæde af på jeres videre færd gennem Vietnam. I Hanoi, besøger du byens kendte attraktioner: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Præsidentpaladset, Præsident Ho Chi Minhs pælehus, Den ensøjlede pagode, Vietnams første universitet Van Mieu og Det etnografiske museum. Senere på eftermiddagen gåtur rundt i Hanois stemningsfulde gamle kvarter og ser det berømte vanddukketeater, der er en 1000 år gammel unik vietnamesisk teaterform. Turen fortsætter med spændende trekking ture i Sapa i dit eget tempo gennem de smukke bjergrige egne med risterasser og landsbyer med farverige etniske minoritetsgrupper. På på et 2 dage 1 nats krydstogt tur, sejler du rundt i denne enestående bugt, Halong med dens forunderlige kalkstenslandskab. Der er planlagt besøg af en grotte, landgang på en større kalkstensø og mulighed for at sejle kajak. På sejlturen, kommer du også forbi en flydende fiskelandsby, der bor i små landsbyer på vandet og få et førstehåndsindtryk af denne specielle levevis. Byens kvinder ror sig rundt i deres landsby, der ligger i ly af en klippeø og børn padle sig af sted mellem husbådene for at lege med kammeraterne. Man løber ikke lige hen ad gaden her, og man cykler heller ikke selv i skole. Du flyver videre til kejserbyen Hue, hvorfra det sidste kejserdømme "Nguyen-dynastiet" regerede Vietnam mellem Kvartererne i Hue har sine forskelligartede arkitektoniske fingeraftryk. På en spændende sejltur på den berømte Parfume-River, skal du blandt andet se den syv etager høje Thien Mu-pagode, der ligger i et naturskønt område. Thien Mu-pagoden er en af de mest kendte bygninger i Vietnam og placeret på en bakke med udsigt over Parfume-floden. Senere på dagen besøger vi kejsercitadellet og royal paladset, der er en tro kopi af Den forbudte By i Kina og de meget smukke gravmausoleerne af kejser Khai Dinh og Tu Duc. Fra Hue, kører du i bil til den charmerende gamle by, Hoian, som af mange siges at være Vietnams skønneste sted. Kinesiske, japanske og europæiske købmænd kom sejlende hertil for at købe og sælge varer, og siden slut 1500-tallet slog nogle af disse udenlandske handelsfolk sig ned, og etablerede deres forretning her. Her tager du en sightseeing tur i det gamle kvarter, hvor du går forbi de gamle købmandshuse, som nu huser restaurationer, skræddere, værksteder, små købmænd og butikker, rammes man nemt af den afslappende og hyggelige stemning, som hersker i de små stræder. Efterfølgende flyer du syd på til Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnams største by. Her er der farverige og pulserende markeder, historiske seværdigheder og en meget varieret restaurantscene. Men midt i det moderne findes stadig det vidunderlige Vietnam, ligesom den franske kolonitid stadig præger bybilledet med brede alléer, flotte villaer, og mange vestlige butikker. I bycentrum besøger du Genforeningspaladset, det gamle franske posthus-som blev tegnet af den verdensberømte franske arkitekt Gustav Eiffel, Notre Dame katedralen og det centrale Ben Thanh Marked. Fra Ho Chi Minh city, tager du en udflugt tur til Cu Chi tunnelerne, et

3 underjordisk tunnelsystem i 3 niveauer og godt 250km langt. Herfra kæmpede modstandsgruppen Viet Cong mod den sydvietnamesiske hær og de amerikanske tropper. Turen går videre i først bil og så båd til Mekongdelta, som er et flodrigt deltaområde. På en sejltur, besøger du et berømt flydende marked hvor små både ligger vuggende side om side, og handler frugter og grønsager over rælingen. I land besøger du et familieforetagende som laver snacks-specialiteter fra ris og frugt.
