Be ready for a wild ride in a colorful and chaotic land -- along the way, you'll discover tranquil places and opportunities to connect with local people. Vietnamese are careful to distinguish their cultural traditions from those of China. Vietnam, in fact, boasts its own cultural landscape -- one that's as varied and colorful as Vietnam's topography -- which includes distinct, very sophisticated traditions of painting (particularly lacquer painting), crafts such as weaving and woodcarving, theater, opera, dance, and water puppetry.
