Vietnam's Special Images

Vietnam is culturally divided into three main regions, the north ( Bac Bo ), center ( Trung Bo ), and south ( Nam Bo ), with Hanoi, Hue, and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) serving as the main cities of each region. Hanoi, the site of the former capital of one of the country's earliest dynasties, has been the capital of the unified Vietnam since 1976. These images represent high points from my travelogue listed in the International Section and strike me as characteristic of culture and society in Vietnam today. I hope you enjoy them.
