The Mekong Delta is also a reason for Germans to visitVietnam. According to the article, in order to really experience thetranquility of life in the Mekong Delta, holiday-makers should plan at leastthree days. The fertile soil allows farmers here to harvest rice three times ayear. That's why there are an incredible number of rice fields to admire.

A pearl in the heart of Vietnam is the cityof Hoi An, as the historic old town is the only one that was not completelydestroyed during the war and that is why it was also named a UNESCO WorldHeritage Site.
