Early History

The country that is now Vietnam has been inhabited since the beginning of time. According to archaeological discoveries, organised communities started to emerge as early as the first millennium BC. Up to the Chinese invasion in 111 BC, which caused the civilizations of Vietnam and China to converge, early society was mostly focused on agriculture and feudalism, with numerous dynasties ruling over different regions of Vietnam. For hundreds of years, the region was ruled by several Chinese dynasties, but in 905, the Vietnamese gained independence as a result of uprisings. Vietnam entered an era of independence in 938, marking the end of this period of Chinese imperial rule.

Recent History

Following the Sino-French War of 1884 and 1885, French colonists gained control of Vietnam and began to influence it during the 19th century. French Indochina, which encompassed portions of Vietnam, Cambodia, and subsequently, Laos, was created in 1887. Even though the French were able to stifle domestic liberation aspirations for a long time, their rule was eventually overthrown in 1954 when Vietnamese troops defeated the French during the first Indochina War. Vietnam was split after this conflict, with distinct troops controlling the north (headed by Ho Chi Minh) and the south (led by Ngo Dinh Diem, with support from the United States).

The second Indochina War caused widespread destruction and upheaval for the Vietnamese people, and as a result, a large number of individuals left Vietnam in search of sanctuary in other parts of the world. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam was created in July 1976 following the country's reunification in April 1975. Vietnam has lately profited from the free market economy that was established in 1986. Vietnam's economy is still growing, with agriculture and industry serving as the foundation and the tourist industry also making a contribution. Economic, educational, and health conditions have all significantly improved recently, and perhaps they will do so in the years ahead.

Vietnam, which is located on the long, narrow Indochinese peninsula, borders China, Laos, and Cambodia. The north and central highlands of Vietnam, in particular, include a lot of rugged terrain. The majority of Vietnam's population is concentrated in the cities of the low lying areas, where infrastructure is more easily created and the land is productive, despite the fact that some people still opt to live in the heavily wooded highland regions. The Mekong, one of the world's great twelve rivers, flows through Vietnam and has been the cause of extensive floods. During monsoons, a network of canals and levees has been very effective at transferring water, which has reduced flooding in the Mekong Delta and other areas.

Vietnamese marketplaces and tiny businesses are a good mix of the intriguing; the finest choices include handicrafts, art, and clothes.

1. Tailored Clothing

One of the greatest destinations in the world to find high-quality custom apparel is Hoi An. Locate a tailor, select your fabric, get measured, then come back later to pick up your bespoke clothing.

2. Hilltribe Handicrafts

Some of the Vietnamese hilltribe people weave beautiful clothing, jewelry, and bags that make thoughtful gifts for family and friends back home.

3. Coffee

Vietnamese coffee is among the best in the world, and it comes from one of the biggest exporters in the world. Why not bring a little bit of Vietnam home with you if you enjoy coffee?

4. Lacquerware

The time consuming, intensive process of creating Vietnamese lacquer art results in a beautiful, smooth and polished finish that adorns everything from bowls to paintings and jewellery boxes. While not the cheapest of souvenirs, authentic lacquer art is worth spending a bit more on.

Vietnam's old culture dates back many centuries and has been impacted by the Chinese, Khmer, French, and American civilizations over time in various ways. Whether they come from remote villages or live in bustling metropolis, family and community ties are important to the majority of Vietnamese people. Most festivals and holidays are spent with the extended family, when rituals are performed, special dishes are consumed, presents are exchanged, and ancestors are honored. There are many devout Catholics in Vietnam, but the majority of the population follows a religion that is an unusual fusion of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Most Vietnamese people are eager to move on with their lives and live with a sense of optimism and humility as a result of having experienced the hardship that the Vietnam War brought in the 1960s and 1970s.
