HAI PHONG PORT

Unlike its two neighboring sites of Halong and Cat Ba, Hai Phong attracts less tourists unless, of course, they arrive in Northern Vietnam by sea. Nonetheless, this seaport city has many charming architectural buildings which were evidently influenced by the early 20

th century French colonial style. The old French regime

invested a lot of money to build this seaport attraction. Visiting Hai Phong is an exciting experience. You can go to the city to different ways. You can go there by crossing on the Cam River Ferry, you can reach the city overland from Halong Bay or you can take it will and run along the coast of Vietnam for 12 kilometers either from Halong or Cat Ba Island. Both sea ways offer wonderful views with plenty of islands along the Halong and Cat Ba archipelago.

mountains to the coast during which its tail carved out the earth, creating

waterways and 3,000 islands. Halong means ‘where the dragon descends into the

sea’. This incredibly beautiful bay can be visited from either Bai Chay or Hong Gai

CHAN MAY PORT - HUE

Prior to WWII, Hue had been the capital of Vietnam and the residents of this city

act as if Hue still is. The city has a long and distinguished history. During the Tet

Offensive in 1968 the North Vietnamese flag flew from the citadel flag pole for 25

days. When the Americans returned to re-take the city, Hue was virtually

destroyed in over ten days of terrible conflicts. The film "Full metal jacket" has

much of the major fighting set in Hue, and accurately represents just how

completely devastated the city was. It is estimated that over 10,000 people were

killed during this battle including thousands of people rounded up by the North

Vietnamese as ‘undesirables’ and shot or buried alive. The city has now been

mainly rebuilt and no real signs of the Tet Offensive remain except for the virtual

destruction of the Imperial city.

TIEN SA PORT - DANANG

Da Nang marks the halfway point between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and was

the first place to organize its own local communist party committee. The city is

fairly featureless, and if you are coming from the tranquil setting of Lang Co, Hoi

An, or anywhere for that matter, Da Nang is an extreme disappointment. It is a

busy, dusty, colorless city, the fourth largest in Vietnam, and one of the largest

business centers. Unless you are in Da Nang for business, chances are you will

pass straight through. Da Nang does have a fascinating Cham Museum that

contains an excellent collection of Cham art. However, the main reason for staying

in Da Nang is in the surrounding region. China Beach, the Marble Mountains, Hoi

An and My Son are all within striking distance of Da mange, though it is more

pleasant to stay in Hoi An and visit these sights.

northwest of Saigon, the Cu Chi area lies at the

end of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and was the base

from which Ho Chi Minh guerillas used to attack

Saigon. As a result the whole area became a "free

fire zone" and was carpet-bombed in one of many

American "scorched-earth" policies. But the

residents of Cu Chi took their war underground,

literally, developing a network of tunnels that, at

its height, stretched as far as Cambodia and

included meeting rooms, kitchens, and triage

areas - an effective network for waging guerilla

warfare on nearby U.S. troops. The U.S.

Army's 25th Infantry Division was just next

door, and there are detailed maps denoting land

that was either U.S.-held, Vietminh-held, or in

dispute. The sight supports a small museum of

photos and artifacts, as well as an extensive

outdoor exhibit of guerilla snares and

reconstructions of the original tunnels and

bunkers. Wear your "play clothes" if you

choose to get down in the tunnels; the

experience is dusty and claustrophobic. Latest

BONG SEN PORT – SAI GON

Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) is a thriving metropolis with an unavoidable western

influence offering quite a different experience to Hanoi. Whilst Hanoi may be a city

to be savoured coasting along at its bureaucratic pace, Saigon has been busy

revitalising a stagnated nation. As cyclo drivers rest below neon lit billboards, the

new Vietnamese elite cruise past draped in their western fashions on their Japanese

bikes. In electric Saigon the people look now to the neon shrines for direction rather

than to Uncle Ho. The old guard look increasingly out of place, n a city now

dominated by the dollar. Young executives now pound the pavement in the place of

blind obedience. Where in Hanoi the past is sacrosanct and inescapable, in Saigon

only the future matters as the past is plunged into irrelevance.

telling our clients what they will definitely get for an

enjoyable trip. Any news and updates from local

regional authorities, any new exciting events, any

outlets to open for hang-around, any promotions of

our suppliers are to be advised to you as soon as they

come into effect.

Flexibility Whatever we say and sign, traveling is to find relax

and pleasure. We care about our guests’ feelings

primarily and our team is ready to take pressure to

ensure your enjoyment during your journeys.

Sufficient travel services and high customizing

capability We are organizing Series Package Tours, Free &

Easy Packages, hard adventure, independent trips,

honeymoon long and short stays, themed tours and

services to meeting and incentive groups.

Adaptation to negotiation We highly appreciate your negotiation efforts. You

are the best person who knows exactly what you

want, and your ideas shall help us to find the best

solution. The more mutual understanding, the more

benefit.

Trust We are operating for nearly 100 operators and travel

agencies worldwide. For retail sales, one of the four

new individual requests is from our previous clients,

their families, friends and neighbours.

Sustainable and responsible travel As many tour operators in Indochina, we focus on

ecology protection. Smoking, deforestation,

disruption of traditional life in local communities

and destruction of the environment are discouraged

or forbidden.

Fresh The team of THREELAND is young, cool and

effective. Each of your inquiry is considered a new

challenge and all of us are eager to conquer it. We

are young enough to frequently refresh our business

concept, systems and structures, but we are mature

enough to be your experienced partner shortly.

Last but not least, our slogan is Once in Three lands of Asia, never-ending impression. Despite you

choose THREELAND or another helper, we will be happy to provide you with new, updated information about

Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Your choice of traveling to Indochina is our honor and as other Indochinese

people, we will unconditionally delight to welcome you.
