Countrywalkers.com Announces Special Offer on Laos & Vietnam Walking Tour
Take a step back in time and discover the complex history, deep cultural traditions, and striking beauty of Laos and Vietnam.


WATERBURY, VT, June 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- CountryWalkers.com announced today that guests who join the November 22, Laos & Vietnam: Trails of Indochina tour will receive a complimentary pre-tour night at the Villa Maly Hotel in Luang Prabang, as well as a free dinner at the elegant L'Elephant Restaurant.

Take a step back in time and discover the complex history, deep cultural traditions, and striking beauty of these two neighboring countries. Your first stop is the royal city of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the banks of the Mekong River in Laos, where you walk quiet streets lined with French colonial buildings to ornate 16th-century temples, imperial palaces, and the colorful night market.

In Hanoi (an intriguing blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and French influences), you tour the Old Quarter, One Pillar Pagoda, and the Temple of Literature—then watch the Thang Long Water Puppet show and locals practicing Tai Chi. Walks here lead to the traditional, rural village of Duong Lam, the birthplace of two Vietnamese kings; we're invited into its communal house to learn about customs, both ancient and modern.

Boarding a traditional Vietnamese junk, you sail the turquoise waters of Halong Bay to secluded coves, limestone karsts, and hidden caves. In Hue, the capital of Vietnam's Nguyen dynasty, visit the Gia Long Tomb, Forbidden City, and famed Citadel bordering the tranquil Perfume River. Continue on to Hoi An for a tour of the 17th-century Japanese covered bridge and a former merchant's house. At night, dine on each region's unique cuisine and relax at a five-star hotel, elegant resorts, and a private sailing vessel.
