			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to Hochiminh city ! – one of the most bustling cities of Vietnam where you can find the remains of the times to the best five star in the world.<span id="more-781"></span> In fact, Hochiminh city is a city of commerce, industry, travel … where used to be considered as ” The Pearl of Far East Asia “.</p>
<p>The Mekong Delta, or the ‘Nine Dragon River Delta’, is a vast region in Southeast Vietnam. This is where the Mekong River approaches and enters in to the sea through its network of tributaries. Encompassing a large portion of Southeastern Vietnam of 39,000 km2, the Mekong Delta region is richly abundant with water, fruit orchards and most importantly, rice fields. It produces about half of the total of Vietnam’s agricultural output and is the place where you can best experience the timeless sceneries of farmers planting and harvesting rice.<br />
Travel to Siem Reap, the former capital of the once-mighty Angkorian Empire and home to the magnificent temples built by the ancient Khmer kings. Over three days, you will explore these architectural wonders and unlock the mystery behind their construction and meaning.<br />
Take a walking tour of the capital’s modern architecture which reflects the culturally and politically vibrant era of the mid-1900s. Visit the city’s palace and museum before enjoying an entertaining and enriching traditional performance of shadow puppetry and dance.<br />
With specialist guides, remarkable hotels, and unique excursions, Asia Tour Advisor’s ‘Cambodia Highlight ‘ tour is a memorable journey.<!--more--></p>

At 09am come back to hotel for breakfast and rest in the noon to avoid of the heats of the day until 15:00 continue exploring the mysterious Royal city Angkor Thom. Its 50-tower temple is an awesome sight.

The temple was the birthplace of Khmer classical style architecture and the bas-relief work is the best example of Khmer classical art remaining.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Colour is the first of Luang Prabang’s virtues to greet travellers. Pearly frangipanis with their heady perfume, banks of overgrown trees peppered with scarlet flowers,<span id="more-569"></span> the burnt sienna robes of hundreds of monks and their novices, and resplendent gold and claret wats.

Encircled by mountains, and set 700m above sea level at the confluence of the Nam Khan (Khan River) and the Mekong River, Luang Prabang is now Laos’ foremost tourist showpiece.

<h4>DAY 1: The rest of the day is at your leisure to explore the tree-lined boulevards</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Benthanh_market5.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-541" style="margin: 10px;" title="Benthanh_market" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Benthanh_market5.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>Arriving in Hochiminh, you will be welcomed by your guide and transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is at your leisure to explore the tree-lined boulevards, French Indochinese architecture and tranquil lakes of this unique city.. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City</p>
<h4>DAY 2: Arrive to show you around Ho Chi Minh City</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saigon_Stopover1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-542" style="margin: 10px;" title="Saigon_Stopover" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saigon_Stopover1.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>After breakfast, your guide will arrive to show you around Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll visit the History Museum where there is a special exhibition of the 5th century ‘Oc Eo’ civilisation. The Museum of War Remnants provides a very partial, but riveting, perspective of the ‘American War’: not for the squeamish! The huge Ben Thanh market, one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City, is packed with every conceivable commodity. You’ll also call in at the Jade Emperor Temple. It’s one of the best Taoist temples in Vietnam, with superb effigies, remarkable carved panels of the descent to Hell and somewhat incongruous terrapin and tortoise sanctuaries. You’ll finish your day with a visit to a lacquer workshop to see the complex processes and meticulous workmanship involved in this traditional Vietnamese craft product. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City</p>
<h4>DAY 3: Stroll along bustling to visit Tay Ninh Temple</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cu-chi-tunnel1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-544" style="margin: 10px;" title="cu-chi-tunnel" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cu-chi-tunnel1.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>After breakfast, a stroll along bustling to visit Tay Ninh Temple and then an insight into gripping history at the amazing Cu Chi tunnels. At the end of day, transfer back to Ho chi Minh City. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>DAY 4: Visit the bustling Cai Be floating market</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/caibe-floating3.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-545" style="margin: 10px;" title="caibe-floating" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/caibe-floating3.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>This morning, enjoy a 2.5 hour drive past rural villages and rice paddies to Cai Be in the Mekong Delta.

When the cruise ends, return by road to the city. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh City</p>
<h4>DAY 5: Visit the National Museum and the Silver Pagoda</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angkor-thom12.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-546" style="margin: 10px;" title="angkor-thom12" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angkor-thom12.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>Your driver will pick you up at your hotel in good time for the morning flight to Phnom Penh.

The day’s activities, and those of the next, will be devoted to the Angkor Temple complex, of which Angkor Wat is a key element. You’ll begin with a visit to Angkor Thom, starting with the Bayon, a bizarre structure of several architectural changes reflecting a switch from Hinduism (the foundations) to Buddhism (the superstructure). Your next visit will be to the Elephant and Leper Emperor Terraces, followed by the Baphoun Temple, which is now nearing the end of an eight-year multi-million dollar restoration programme. In the afternoon, you’ll explore Angkor Wat itself, the largest, and for most people, the most impressive temple in the complex. As dusk nears, a walk to the summit of Phnom Bakheng Hill will afford a panorama of the whole complex lit by the rays of the setting sun, weather permitting of course. Overnight in Phnom Penh</p>
<h4>DAY 7: Visit the Neak Pean, Ta Prohm and East Mebon</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angkor-wat-temple1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-548" style="margin: 10px;" title="angkor-wat-temple" src="http://www.vietnamtours-travel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angkor-wat-temple1.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="95" /></a>Your day will be taken up with visits to some of the outer sites including Preah Khan, a huge and highly explorable monastic complex, Neak Pean, a Himalayan-style lake and sanctuary, and East Mebon, a temple-mountain. After lunch, you’ll also see Ta Prohm, strangled by massive tree roots and typical of the condition of the whole complex when it was discovered in 1860 by French naturalist Henri Mouhot. Your guide will then show you the Prasat Kravan (also known as the Cardomom Sanctuary) and Srah Srang lake and landing terrace. The Srah Srang is less touristed and could be sunrise alternative to Angkor Wat. Overnight in Siem Reap</p>
<h4>DAY 8: Take you to the airport for your departure flight</h4>
<p>Your time is your own until your car arrives to take you to the airport for your departure flight.</p>
