Geography
Vietnam covers an area of 330,363 sq. km and is
about as big as Italy or New Mexico. The country has
three main geographic regions - the tropical south
dominated by the Mekong River estuary, the dry
central region, and the more temperate north
comprising the River delta and mountain highlands.
Religion
Vietnam supports adherents of all the major world
religions, as well as followers of religions that are
peculiarly Vietnamese: Theravada and Mahayana
Buddhism, Protestant and Catholic Christianity,
Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, Cao Daism, Hoa Hao
and Hinduism. In addition spirit and ancestor worship,
To Tien, is also practiced. Confucianism is probably
the most pervasive doctrine of all.
Climate Vietnam’s climate is very diverse because the
country covers a wide range of latitudes and
altitudes.
The North: The cold season is between November
and April when average temperatures are around
60°F/16°C and it is often wet and chilly. In the hot
period, between May and October, the average
temperature is about 86°F/30°C. The South: The
temperatures in the south are constant all year,
ranging from 77-86°F/25-30°C. The dry season is from
November to April and the wet period from May to
October.
People Ethnic Vietnamese constitute almost 90 percent of
the population in Vietnam. Originating in what is
now southern China and northern Vietnam, the
Vietnamese people pushed southward over several
centuries to occupy the entire eastern seacoast of
the Indochinese Peninsula. Nearly 100 years of
French rule (1858-1954) introduced important
European elements, but the Vietnamese still attach
great importance to the family and continue to
observe rites honoring their ancestors, indicating the
persistence of tradition.
Manners
The Vietnamese used to greet one another by
clasping their hands, prayer-like, in front of their
faces and bowing slightly. Unfortunately, this
charming custom has been replaced by the
handshake. When trying to gain the attention of a
Vietnamese, try not to point or gesture excessively.
This is regarded as rude. Call out their names if
possible, if not beckon by using the whole hand,
palm downwards. Again, as in the other countries of
Southeast Asia, do not touch people on the head as
it is regarded as spiritually the 'highest' part of the
body. Expect to be the center of attention outside
Saigon, Hanoi and the main tourist centers. React
accordingly and be a good ambassador.

“I travel because I like to move from place to place, I enjoy the sense of freedom it gives me,
it pleases me to be rid of ties, responsibilities, duties, I like the unknown; I meet odd people
who amuse me for a moment and sometimes suggest a theme for a composition; I am often
tired of myself and I have a notion that by travel I can add to my personality and so change
myself a little. I do not bring back from the journey quite the same self that I took”

Day 1 Welcome to Hanoi (-/-/D)
Welcome to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. As soon as the group arrives at Noi Bai airport on
their flight from home, the group will be warmly greeted by Refine Asia staff who will assist the
group to clear all formalities and handle the luggage directly to the truck.
At the chosen hotel, the group will be welcomed with cool towels and welcome drinks at the
hotel lounge, while our hospitality staff clear all the check-in formalities for the group.
The guests will have the time to refresh or relay after a long flight. Afterwards, the group will
join a one-hour cyclo ride to get a first impression of this overwhelming city of Hanoi.
Cyclo Ride Hanoi
There are many ways to see the city, but
the best and most unique way to
discover the Old Quarter of Hanoi and its
authentic atmosphere is to take the
traditional transportation “cyclo”.
Starting from the hotel, with the one hour
riding on this special kind of “moving
armchair” through the 36 streets which
are dedicated to 36 different products in
the old quarter of Hanoi, our group will
gain a whole day’s worth of knowledge about the authentic Vietnamese culture and way of
life.

Day 2 Hanoi – Halong Bay (B/L/D) Today, the group will set out early in the morning for their two days excursion to Halong Bay.
Emeraude Halong Bay Cruise
Refine Asia Operation Offices: Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Yunnan
Email: [email protected] / www.refineasia.com
Halong Bay is one of the most magnificent scenic spots in all of Vietnam and was recognized
as a world natural heritage site by UNESCO in 1994. Halong is a picturesque bay with almost
2,000 islets rising from the clear emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. The cruise through
Halong Bay wends among otherworldly karst formations and opens up views of one
stupendous seascape after another. Within the two-days cruise, the following sights will be
visited.
Sung Sot Grotto
Early French tourists who wandered among the 10,000
square meters of this cavern dubbed this space "Grotte des
Surprises", or Surprise Cave. The grotto features thousands of
stalactites and stalagmites. Paths, lights and signposts guide
you through two caves which continue to offer yet more
twists, turns and, yes, surprises throughout.
Cua Van and Vung Vieng Floating Villages
Seven hundred people live at Cua Van in a calm bay
surrounded by limestone karsts. Most, not surprisingly, earn
their living by fishing and spend almost their entire existence
living on the water. The following day you will also pass Vung
Vieng Floating Village.
Hang Trong Anchorage
The Emeraude anchors at Hang Trong. Hang Trong , or Drum
Cave, refers to a nearby cave that earned its name as a
result of the sound made as the wind blows through its
stalagmites and stalactites. The waters here are quiet for
swimming and there are lots to explore by kayak.
Titov Island
The island is noted for a beautiful crescent-shaped beach that's popular with swimmers and
water sports enthusiasts. You may also hike 420 steps up to a pavilion at the summit for a
panoramic view of Halong Bay.

Soi Sim Island
On its return to Bai Chay Wharf, the Emeraude cruises past Soi Sim -- one of the few soil-based
islands among the bay’s countless limestone karsts. Soi Sim is rich in natural beauty and
wildlife. Two stunning beaches offer visitors ideal waters for boating and swimming; while
inland, ancient trees are home to a diverse bird population including Black Kites, herons,
egrets, terns and gulls.
A more detailed itinerary of this 2 Days / 1 Night cruise can be found at the end of the
proposal.
Overnight on board in Halong Bay
Day 3 Halong Bay – Hanoi (B/-/D)
After disembarkation from the Emeraude Cruise, the group will be transferred back to Hanoi.
After check-in to the hotel, the group will enjoy a full day sightseeing tour.
Hanoi is one of the oldest and most charming cities in Asia, and apart from its traditional
Vietnamese architecture, there is a French quarter with grand French colonial villas and
broad boulevards lined with sandalwood trees and coffee houses. On this tour the group will
visit Ngoc Son Temple inside Hoan Kiem Lake, Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, the One-Pillar
Pagoda, the Museum of Ethnology and the Temple of Literature.
Ho Chi Minh Mausuleum: This commanding stone
monument houses the embalmed remains of Ho Chi
Minh, Vietnam’s national hero, and it is a pilgrimage site
for many Vietnamese people. Visitors file silently past his
glass tomb to pay their respects.

The One Pillar Pagoda: Built by the Emperor Ly Thai Tong
in thanksgiving for his heir in 1922, this pagoda is a
Buddhist representation of the world in the form of a lotus
coming out of the water, containing a statue of the
Goddess of Mercy. Originally made of wood on one
single stone column, the current pillar was reconstructed
in 1955 after being destroyed by the French in 1954.
The Temple of Literature: The Temple of Literature is a
peaceful series of walled courtyards and graceful
gateways and is one of the best-preserved examples of
traditional Vietnamese architecture. Founded in 1070
and dedicated to Confucius, this was also the site of
Vietnam’s first university. In one courtyard, giant stone
tortoises bear stelae on their backs, listing the
accomplishments of graduating scholars.
Museum of Ethnology: This museum brings to life the
astonishing ethnic diversity in Vietnam, with art and
artefacts from the 54 different ethnic groups that inhabit
the country. Inside the museum are detailed descriptions
of minority groups, with examples of their traditional
clothing and way of life. Outside are faithful
reconstructions of traditional longhouses, cemeteries
and other distinctive ethnic buildings.

place of Emperor Tu Duc (1848-83) who enjoyed the longest reign of any monarch of the
Nguyen dynasty. The construction of the tomb started in December 1864 and was completed

and low lying island to form the Mekong Delta. The region is referred to as Vietnam's "rice
Bowl" from where farmers produce coconuts, sugar cane, a variety of fruit, fresh seafood and
