• 10 reasons you'll love Vietnam

All photography by Christian Berg

We know what you’re thinking: 'Why only 10?' The list could go on (and on), but these 10 reasons are a good starting place to describe what many travellers love most about Vietnam. Some highlights you may know well (hello, street food), while others may be a surprise. All are excellent reasons to start dreaming and planning your next holiday in Vietnam. 

The incredible local food.

No point in being modest about it. You can find the healthiest, freshest, most insanely delicious food on the planet right here. Prepare to roll and dip scrumptious bites with your hands, and lose yourself in bowls of noodles that make you swoon. Vietnamese are used to eating to such a high standard that the competition on the sidewalks is fierce. Discovering your favourites — whether steaming pho, crunchy banh mi or smoky bun cha — is itself worth the trip.

The warm, hardworking people

Not every Vietnamese you meet is going to become your new best friend — but a lot of them are willing to try! You’ve never met a group as fun-loving, hardworking, and ready-for-anything as the Vietnamese. We are resilient people , and we value family and friendships more than anything else. Take your time to learn the stories of some of our 54 ethnic minorities, and enjoy our smiles and hospitality wherever you go. 

The diverse destinations

One unique aspect of travelling Vietnam is that no two destinations are alike. Our three major cities are totally different from each other. We have chilly winters in highlands up North but it’s balmy year-round on the islands in the South. Even destinations that are an hour apart are often decades apart in character and appearance. Having so many distinct places to explore and choose from is a big part of the fun.

The addictive coffee culture

In Vietnam, coffee is a tradition, a religion, and a social glue in one. We love meeting up on the sidewalk and chatting for hours over coffee. That’s why you’ll find thousands of cafes — from cool to colonial — all over the country. We like being creative with coffee too. Try a refreshing coconut coffee in summer or a creamy egg coffee in winter. Just watch out: Many travellers become addicted to our distinctive brews!

The second-to-none scenery

Maybe you’ve heard about the dreamy, karst-studded seascapes in Ha Long Bay and the misty, terraced valleys in Sa Pa, but did you know Vietnam is home to more dramatic sights? In the world’s largest cave, Son Doong, you can camp, climb, and explore for days. Vietnam also boasts breathtaking mountain scenery in Ha Giang, thundering waterfalls in Cao Bang, and striking sand dunes in Mui Ne (be sure to pack your camera.)

The history around every corner 

In Vietnam you don’t have to go far to find treasures from another time. They’re sprinkled all over the countryside and tucked away in the cities, as well as in eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The timeless capital of Hanoi is a gold mine for history lovers, with ancient pagodas, gateways, and houses layered in the fabric of the Old Quarter. In the centre of Vietnam, the former imperial city of Hue is strewn with the tombs of feudal kings and their forgotten palaces.

The scenic motorcycle rides

There’s something about being on two wheels that makes one feel young and alive again. Or at least, that’s how it seems to us. You haven’t really experienced Vietnam until you’ve seen our alleys and countryside from the back of a bike. Explore like a local by hopping on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride through emerald rice paddies, or take a motorbike after dark for a romantic ride on the banks of our lakes and rivers. 

The energetic, youthful cities

Vietnam’s burgeoning cities have more fine layers than a mille-feuille, and are endlessly interesting, especially if you’re a foodie, photographer, culture-seeker, or a combination of the above. Start with the parks, get lost in the temples, take a break in the alleys, dine on the sidewalks, retreat to the cafes, and head up to the rooftop bars to finish. In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s biggest metropolis, there’s something new every day.

The authentic adventures 

Every now and then, it’s nice to get lost in a new place. In Vietnam, just hours outside the cities you’ll find yourself in another world, with new adventures that will challenge you in all the best ways. Intrepid travellers will love the ethnic villages and spectacular views in Vietnam’s northern mountain ranges. Try rock climbing at the crags in Huu Lung, sign up for canyoning at Datanla Waterfall in Da Lat, or have the caving adventure of a lifetime in Phong Nha. Why not? 

The safest place to visit

We’re all a little concerned about health and safety on the road, especially after 2020. Luckily, Vietnam has proven it’s ready to combat any health crisis with decisive action and a strong community spirit . During the COVID-19 pandemic , Vietnam managed each outbreak so successfully, the country enjoyed long periods of no transmission during which everybody could connect, relax, and travel safely — which is what we all want to be doing after all.

The Story Behind the Anti-War Protest Song “San Franciscan Nights” by Eric Burdon and The Animals

T he word “hippie” comes from hipster and describes people who embraced a social movement in the mid-20th century. Their anti-materialistic lifestyle and rejection of conformity and consumerism was a continuation of the wave started by the Beat Generation, who had experimented with drugs, sexuality, and travel. Writers such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Neal Cassady appealed to the “beatniks” who were unhappy with the status quo.

As early as 1964, the media was using the term hippie. It became synonymous with anti-war protests, and hippies started adopting the slang terms created by the Beat writers and subscribing to the countercultural ideas they fostered. And as a result of LSD and marijuana use, the musical landscape changed drastically. Let’s take a look at the story behind “San Franciscan Nights” by Eric Burdon and The Animals.

The song’s opening is a parody of the TV police procedural Dragnet , with Burdon reciting a verse encouraging listeners to do whatever it takes to reach San Francisco.

The following program is dedicated to the city and people of San Francisco,

who may not know it, but they are beautiful, and so is their city

This is a very personal song, so if the viewer c annot understand it,

particularly those of you who are European residents

save up all your bread and fly trans-Love Airways to

San Francisco U.S.A., then maybe you’ll understand the song, it

will be worth it, if not for the sake of this song but for the

Sake of your own peace of mind

San Francisco

Hippies started to congregate in larger populated cities. Chicago, New York City, and San Francisco had some of the biggest groups of counterculture representatives. In 1967, the Human Be-In in Golden Gate Park and the Monterey International Pop Festival brought the image of the hippie to the mainstream media. The West Coast celebrated the Summer of Love as the growing movement of anti-establishment dreamers believed they could make a difference in the world.

The Animals first visited America in 1964 and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show . “House of the Rising Sun” shot to the top of the charts, and more hits followed. The original lineup continued for a few years before they began splintering. Bassist Chas Chandler managed The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and lead singer Eric Burdon gathered a new crop of musicians and dubbed them The New Animals.

Strobe lights beam create dreams

Walls move minds do, too

On a warm San Franciscan night

Old child, young child feel alright

Angels sing leather wings

Jeans of blue Harley Davidsons, too

Old angels, young angels feel alright

Monterey Pop

The fashion and values of hippies significantly affected culture, appearing in television shows, movies, books, art, and music. Mainstream society assimilated many aspects of hippie culture, and hippies began subscribing to Eastern philosophy and Asiatic spiritual concepts. The vast majority of the movement consisted of the oldest Baby Boomers and the youngest members of the Silent Generation. People born in the late ’40s and early ’50s came of age during the most optimistic era of the hippie movement.

Eric Burdon and The New Animals played at the Monterey International Pop Festival on Friday, June 16, 1967. They covered “Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones, featuring an electric violin. This performance signaled a change in Burdon’s music, moving in a more psychedelic, hard rock, politically charged direction. He later wrote the song “Monterey” about the experience. The lyrics would quote a line from “Renaissance Fair” by The Byrds and name-check Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Hugh Masekela, The Grateful Dead, and Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones.

I wasn’t born there. Perhaps I’ll die there

There’s no place left to go, San Franciscan

Be-Ins and Love-Ins

In the BBC documentary Eric Burdon: Rock ‘n’ Roll Animal , the singer remembers his time in San Francisco during the Summer of Love: “It was all flooded with color. England was bleak, and America was technicolor cinemascope. For a few months, it was heaven. It was magic, the great be-ins and love-ins in the park, and the people that I met. Well, that’s what LSD does.”

Cop’s face is filled with hate

Heavens above, he’s on a street called love

When will they even learn

Old cop, young cop feel alright

The children are cool

They don’t raise fools

It’s an American dream

Includes Indians, too

Anti Vietnam

“San Franciscan Nights” was written in protest of the Vietnam War. In 2010, Burdon told Songfacts : “The ‘Love Generation’ helped the anti-war stance in the States. It certainly turned a lot of soldiers’ heads around, making them wonder why they had to be out fighting a war when back home, their girlfriends were frolicking around, and it caused a lot of anguish on that level. Maybe it helped politically with the so-called enemy. I’m not sure.”

The song’s final line is a plea to include Indians, too. In 1963, Belva Cottier, a Sioux social worker in the San Francisco Bay Area, learned the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary would be closed, and the city of San Francisco would take over the property. According to the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, she and her cousin, Richard McKenzie, proposed that if the property was surplus land of the government, Sioux could claim it. On March 8, 1964, a group of Sioux demonstrated by occupying the island. The protesters publicly offered the federal government 47 cents per acre, the same amount for the land the government had initially offered them. The protesters were threatened they would be charged with a felony. This resulted in increased attention to indigenous peoples’ protests across the Bay Area. Occupation continued for years. On June 10, 1971, FBI agents and special forces police removed five women, four children, and six unarmed Indian men. The occupation was ended.
