Shall we look up the history of Viet?

The name of Kinh, the ethnic group that makes up the majority of Vietnam's population, officially also uses another name, ‘Việt’.

As of the 2019 census, the Kinh people make up 85.3% of Vietnam's total population.

In other words, 'Việt' is not simply a name that foreign countries use to call Vietnam, but a word that is also connected to the identity of the Vietnamese people.

So what does Vietnam mean?

In Chinese characters, it's 越南.

If you break it down simply, it has the feel of 'Việt of the South'.

In fact, starting in 1804, when the Nguyễn Dynasty began officially using Việt Nam as the country's name, what we know today as

Vietnam's name will take its place in history. Drumroll~🎇✨

And isn't this where the name 'VietSpot' connects again?😘

VIET + SPOTS

So VietSpot carries the meaning of ‘a place that introduces Vietnam's major spots,’

I think the name of the country "Vietnam" itself may hold the wish to stay together for a long time.

From Da Nang's restaurants to massage, delivery, laundry, travel destinations, and now even golf..

Through each Spot introduced, letting travelers get to know Vietnam in a way that's a little more fun and a little wiser.

This seems to be exactly what Vietspots is. 📍
