Viet Nam - A wonderful country in Southeast Asia

Viet Nam is a country worth visiting

Unique culture

It must be said that Viet Nam is one of the most unique cultures in the world. It is a country that was invaded and colonized for more than 1,000 years but still retains its voice and territory. Be independent, fight against enemies and retain your own ancestral land without having to compete with other countries. It was the first colonial country to fight and expel the colonists, thereby opening a new era in the world.

What is Viet Nam? Although it is a country located in Southeast Asia, it has the characteristics of East Asian wet rice civilization. With an architectural style that is a harmonious blend of classical Chinese features and French modernity during the colonial period, it still retains its own unique features.

Coming to Viet Nam, you can enjoy Chinese dishes, but prepared in a very Vietnamese way. Bread, noodles, dumplings,... are all dishes originating from other countries and reshaped through the hands and minds of Vietnamese people, turning them into a unique characteristic. that is absolutely impossible to find anywhere else in the world

It's not just about cultural harmony between great civilizations. Even within the country itself, there is great cultural diversity with the contributions of 54 ethnic groups. In each place, each region will have its own people and characteristics that even ordinary Vietnamese people cannot fully know.

Religious diversity

Coming to Viet Nam, you will witness the religious diversity in this country. Viet Nam was originally purely agricultural, so matriarchy was always prioritized until the period when early states were born. This was the period when Vietnamese people lived according to local beliefs. In every village there is always a protective deity (village Thanh Hoang). In every family, they worship their ancestors, grandparents and parents. In large temples, Vietnamese people worship saints - people who have contributed to the country in fighting foreign invaders, building the country,...

Through the process of Chinese colonization for about 1,000 years, the country's major religions were introduced one after another, the most notable of which were Mahayana Buddhism, Taoism,... along with the ideology of Confucianism. Currently, Taoism only has a few large Taoist temples left in the North. Although Confucian ideology is deeply ingrained in the Vietnamese people's subconscious, through the process of innovation, it is gradually eliminated. Only Buddhism still maintains a strong foothold in the hearts of Vietnamese people through its fusion with traditional beliefs of Mother Goddess (Mau) worship.

Later, through historical events, Theravada Buddhism or Khmer Brahmanism were also popular in the South.

Finally, during the period of colonial exploration, a series of new religions were transmitted from Western missionaries such as Christianity, Islam, Protestantism,... and the endogenous development between the fusion of these religions. Old indigenous religions and newly introduced religions were born such as Hoa Hao Buddhism, Cao Dai,... further diversifying the richness of Vietnamese culture.

But the special point here is that about 80% of Vietnamese people do not follow any religion. Vietnamese people maintain the belief in ancestor worship, religion for them is only believed, not followed. So Vietnamese people can go to church on Christmas day, can go to Buddha's birthday celebration, and can also attend the Muslim fasting ceremony if they want.

The friendliest country in the world

Vietnamese people are friendly, sociable, cheerful and hospitable to friends around the world. The proof of that is the summit between the US and North Korea.

Evidence for the above statement is that it was only after the Paris Agreement on ending the war in Viet Nam. Former US Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara was able to calmly walk on the streets of Hanoi without encountering any anger. Or like the later presidents of the United States, or the presidents of China,... were all received very respectfully with the highest protocol along with greetings from people on the side of the road.
