With its unique location at the crossroads of East and West and abundant natural resources, Vietnam has long been a focal point of conflicts between major world powers. The country has witnessed numerous wars, most notably the Vietnam War, which involved the United States and significantly impacted 20th-century global history and the post-World War II world order.

Through historical museums and war relics such as Hoa Lo Prison and B-52 bomber wreckage, let's uncover the true stories of Vietnam’s wartime past.

Highlights of the Journey:

• Vietnam National Museum of History (Tuesday to Sunday) Explore Vietnam’s history during the French colonial period, the Vietnam War (Resistance War against the US), and conflicts with the Khmer Rouge and China.
