Th e atural Beauty Southeast Asiaof

Hanoi, VietnamThe undeniable charm of this historic capital city resides in its shaded boulevards, bucolic parks and the city center—a time capsule of 1930s French‑colonial architecture. The famous Ba Dinh Square is a testament to more recent history—see the imposing, granite Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. The Beaux‑Arts‑style former French Governor’s Residence is adjacent to the garden and modest cottage where Ho Chi Minh lived in the 1960s, and nearby, is the 11th‑century One Pillar Pagoda, one of Vietnam’s most iconic temples.

Stunning limestone pinnacles rising from teal waters, vivid landscapes, scenic coastlines, delectable cuisine, exquisite architecture, colorful markets and a compelling history render Southeast Asia one of the most enriching and exotic regions on Earth. Discover Vietnam and Cambodia’s rich legacy of culture as well as the influence of Japanese, Chinese, French and Americans that helped shape this fascinating area of the world. Experience the social, intellectual and spiritual heartbeat of Vietnam’s captivating people in its palaces, pagodas, temples and tombs, and in the fascinating fusion of its past and present; and explore the mystique of Cambodia’s Angkor temples.

where women still wear the traditional áo dài, a silk tunic worn over pantaloons. See the neo‑Romanesque‑style Notre Dame Cathedral and the City Opera House, both a distinct reminder of the city’s French Colonial history. Visit the 19th‑century, European‑style Central Post Office; the imposing Reunification Hall Palace, the former South Vietnamese presidential palace; and the War Remnants Museum, which offers a Vietnamese perspective on the Vietnam War. Explore the Ben Thanh Market, an authentic symbol of Saigon, where merchants offer aromatic spiced cuisine, traditional Chinese medicines and handcrafted wares and textiles. Outside Saigon, explore the Cu Chi Tunnels, an underground complex used by the Viet Cong stretching from Saigon to the Cambodian border.

Siem Reap, Cambodia, for AngkorThe UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor was the capital of the Khmer Kingdom, one of the world’s most important archaeological sites located in the lush jungles of northern Cambodia. Tour the Temple of Angkor Wat, near the vibrant city of Siem Reap, built in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II to honor the Hindu god Vishnu. Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world, stands in testament to the centuries‑long grandeur of the prosperous Khmer empire.

Visit Banteay Srei, the Citadel of Women, considered the jewel of Khmer art. Built in the 10th century from rose‑pink sandstone, the temple is believed to be built by women, based on the intricacy of the elaborate carvings that adorn its peaked buildings. On the banks of the Siem Reap River, the monumental walled city of Angkor Thom was the last capital of the Khmer Empire. See the towers of its Bayon Temple, with approximately 200 stone faces and bas‑relief sculptures depicting historical scenes from everyday life of the Angkorian Khmer; interior artwork depicts scenes from Hindu mythology. Explore the area surrounding the complex, including the ruins of the 11th‑century Baphuon mountain temple and the intricately carved Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King and the atmospheric Royal Palace. Visit Ta Prohm, the fascinating 12th‑century Buddhist temple left largely untouched in the jungle. With fig, banyan and kapok trees growing out of the ruins, the dynamic lifecycle between nature and humanity provides the basis for Ta Prohm’s “lost city” legendary tales. Tour the main workshop of the Artisans Angkor, which provides training for thousands of Cambodians to perpetuate the creation of their traditional, cultural handcrafts.
