It is located in Southeast Asia and takes about 4 to 5 hours by plane from Korea.

Simply put, it takes about an hour to get to Jeju Island, so you can think of it as making roughly two round trips there haha

[ How big is Vietnam? ]

Vietnam's area is about 3.3 times the size of South Korea.

However, because it has a long, narrow shape, the weather in the north and the south is quite different.

[ How long do people live? ]

Vietnam has a population of about 100 million, which is roughly twice as many people as South Korea's population of about 50 million!

[ What is the capital? ]

Hanoi (Ha Noi) is the capital of Vietnam.

However, the largest city is Ho Chi Minh City.

Da Nang is the third largest city in Vietnam.

Vietnam is a country located in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam is a long, narrow country that stretches about 1,650 km from north to south.

Its population ranks 16th in the world (Korea ranks 29th)

The time difference with Korea is 2 hours.

[ What does the Vietnamese flag mean? ]

The Vietnamese flag has a single yellow star on a red background.

Red symbolizes the courage of the people who worked hard for the nation's independence,

The yellow star is said to carry the meaning that the people should come together as one and unite their strength.

[🍜 Why is pho so famous in Vietnam? ]

Vietnam is one of the world's leading rice producers.🍚

Thanks to the hot climate and abundant rivers, a lot of high-quality rice is produced, and a wide variety of dishes made with it have developed.

Representative dishes include rice noodle soup (pho), banh mi, banh xeo, and bun cha.

Tropical fruits are also famous for being very delicious, with mango, dragon fruit, mangosteen, and passion fruit being especially well-known.🍋

[ Why are Vietnamese money denominations so large? ]

Vietnam uses the dong (VND) as its currency unit.

When you first see them, you'll be surprised at how big the numbers are, like 100,000 dong or 500,000 dong.

This is because, as the value of money has changed over a long period of time, larger banknotes came into use.

When traveling, if you 'drop one zero and divide by 2,' you'll get the approximate value in Korean won.

100,000 dong → about 5,000 won

200,000 dong → about 10,000 won

※The actual amount may vary slightly depending on the exchange rate.

[ What kind of city is Da Nang? ]

[ Why is Hoi An a World Cultural Heritage Site? ]
