Some tourist attractions in Vietnam are the shopping centers in Hanoi, the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, and Halong Bay.
The War Remnants Museum is dedicated to the memory of those people who lost their lives during wars, especially the American War.
There are images, dioramas, and other exhibitions that show the war activities conducted by the United States government during its aggression against Vietnam.
The museum itself has been designed with various symbolic details including a sky filled with children’s faces, an eternal flame lit under green trees, and many other special effects to help visitors better understand why Vietnam was forced to fight for its independence from 1975 until now.
Vietnam has the Halong Bay, a group of islands located about 130 kilometers from the Hanoi area. Halong Bay consists of over 3,000 limestone formations that look like giant petrified mountains rising from emerald seas.
