Welcome to Vietnam

For a long time, I have been traveling everywhere, passionate about discovering new lands. Famous places outside of Vietnam have always fascinated me, and I have been absorbed in pursuing those far-away journeys. Until one day, the foreign friends I met on my journey asked me: "How beautiful is your Vietnam?"

The question startled me. I realized how little I knew about my own homeland. Why had I never explored its familiar beauty? I decided to return and begin my journey to explore Vietnam with all my senses.

From the majestic mountains in the North, the vast fields in the Central region, to the long beaches in the South, every place I have been has left me with unforgettable emotions. The beautiful scenery, friendly people and diverse culture have left me amazed and proud.

Vietnam is much more beautiful than what I have seen anywhere else in the world . I have recorded those moments, emotional footage, so that I can proudly show off to my international friends: "This is Vietnam, this is my homeland. Welcome to Vietnam!"
