T he Jim Cline Photo Tours Vietnam Explorer Vietnam tour is off and running! Vietnam, Southeast Asia’s “skinniest country”, stretches roughly 1,000 miles from top to bottom but is only about 25 miles wide at its narrowest point near the center. Although officially reunited, north to south, Vietnam feels more like two separate countries. While Hanoi and the northernmost cities and villages cling to more traditional, communist ways, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City as it is now called) in the south, bristles with the energy and entrepreneurial fervor of any major U.S. city. With its amazing diversity and rich cultural history, Vietnam offers the adventurous traveler a unique opportunity to experience and photograph an exciting mix of landscapes, people, places, philosophies, cuisines, crafts, and religions.

Starting in Saigon, we photographed the largest wholesale market, located in Saigon’s Chinatown, the largest Cantonese Pagoda and the Central post office. We then traveled by boat to Can Tho and we’ve been captivated by the lazy rhythms of the Mekong Delta. Today we photographed the amazing diversity of Can Tho’s fish markets and in particular, a unique floating market where trade continues as if untouched by the modern world. Tomorrow we’re off to Da Nang, and Hoi Anh, in Central Vietnam.

Here are 33 photos from our first 2 days or our trip. Enjoy.
