Vietnam Has a Vibrant History

First of all, I would like to introduce Vietnamese history which started from about 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. Vietnam has been inhabited since the Paleolithic period. By around 1,200 BC, the development of paddy rice cultivation and bronze casting techniques in the Ma and Red River areas led to the development of Dong Son culture, featuring bronze drums. The first Vietnamese ethnic groups in the southern region of Linh Nam, including a large area south of the Truong Giang River in China today to the Red River Delta and the Ma River in northern Vietnam. In addition to the long history of Vietnam, there are famous UNESCO recognized places as natural wonders such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient Town, Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park, Ancient Monuments Complex Hue,...

Vietnamese Food Is Incredible

Besides the long-standing culture, Vietnamese cuisine is an indispensable thing when talking about this country, Vietnam's territory is divided into three distinct regions: North, Central, and South. It is the characteristics of geography, culture, ethnicity, and climate that define the specific characteristics of each region's cuisine. Every region has a typical taste. That contributes to enrich and diversify Vietnamese cuisine. This is an eating culture that uses a lot of vegetables (boiled, fried, made pickles, eaten raw); many broths are especially sour, while the number of animal-based dishes is often less. The most commonly used meats are pork, beef, chicken, swan, duck, shrimp, fish, crabs, mussels, clams, oysters, etc.
