Vietnam Airlines Virtual presents its inaugural event; the first in the series of events to showcase the phenomenal beauty of Vietnam. Join us at the two nodal airports in Vietnam, at Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which connect Vietnam to the rest of the world.
Vietnam is a Southeast Asian country known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas, and bustling cities. Vietnam is called “the land of the ascending dragon” because of its geographical shape that represents a dragon. To the Vietnamese people, the dragon brings rain, essential for agriculture. It represents the emperor, the prosperity and power of the nation. Like the Chinese dragon, the Vietnamese dragon is the symbol of yang, representing the universe, life, existence, and growth.
Ho Chi Minh City also commonly referred to as Saigon, is the largest city of Vietnam. The lights of the high rises illuminate the city. It is absolutely stunning. According to the 2019 census, Ho Chi Minh City has a population of over 8.9 million within the city proper and over 21 million within the metropolitan area. Located in southeastern Vietnam, the city surrounds the Saigon River and covers about 2,061 square kilometers (796 square miles). The beautiful winding rivers are great for tourism and trade! Ho Chi Minh City is the economic and financial center of Vietnam and plays an important role in the country’s culture and scientific developments. Ho Chi Minh is a hustling and bustling city with plenty to see for all!
Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam. It covers an area of 3,358.6 square kilometers (1,297 sq mi). It is the second-largest city in Vietnam, and one of the most lively! With over eight million residents within city outskirts and an estimated population of 20 million within the metropolitan area. Hanoi has a beautiful skyline to enjoy on approach. Located in the heart of the Red River Delta, Hanoi is the commercial, cultural, and educational center of Northern Vietnam. Hanoi is the best place to visit if you’d like to learn about Vietnam’s amazing culture!
