While this beautiful country may still evoke images of war in western minds, Vietnam is a country on the up. Boasting one of the fastest-growing economies in the region, backpackers have enjoyed it for years. Now the delights of vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, French-flavoured Hanoi, island-studded Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta towns are all reaching beyond the gap year market. If you've been there, give us your Vietnamese verdict.

    The scenery at this inland version of Ha Long Bay is possibly even better. The same limestone karst structures rise up out of bright green rice paddies and you get rowed through on a little boat. It is quite touristy, but much less so than Ha Long Bay - make sure you get there first thing in the morning though, before the big coaches arrive. The best way to visit is to rent a bicycle in Ninh Binh and get them to show you the lovely backroads around the area.

    Near Ninh Binh, about an hour south of Hanoi on main highway (buses will drop you there).
