AS development dollars pour in and muscle highways streak through the verdant rice fields, Vietnam these days can be summed up in a single word – SPEED.

There’s not much of it. Highways in Vietnam are showpieces for belching trucks idling in long snaking lines, their unusual horns the only sign of contrapuntal remonstrance. Stray buffalos, wayward chickens and ducks sunning themselves on the asphalt all do their bit to slow things down.

I pushed my eyeballs back into their sockets as we began our dizzying ascent from Lang Co, crossing the hump from Hue to Danang.

Fact is, speed kills, and the hard- working men in uniform are painfully aware of this. Every once in a while an improvised speed limit – say 3. Fail to spot it and camouflaged constabulary around the corner will pounce on you with glee demanding “tea money”, and thus are lives saved and wealth redistributed. Slide Show. E- mail Page.

It took a while then to get to Danang’s fabled China Beach, or My Khe in local parlance, which comes with the usual Baywatch accessories – professional lifeguards on certain stretches but not, alas, women with bodies like ripening corn.

Next morning I slipped onto the beach unnoticed at dawn, painfully aware of my neck, which looks like, well… a neck. Men with heads attached to tree- trunks fell to the ground to do fifty push- ups if any damsel so much as glanced in their general direction. I pressed my camera shutter vigorously, demonstrating I am no slouch when it comes to testosterone. Beautiful Mui Ne Beach at sunrise/ photo: Vijay Verghese. By 7am the local population had departed en masse leaving a few solitary bathers and some frolicking salty sea dogs.

Danang's idyllic stretch of sand runs uninterrupted along a long, long coast, with a gentle drop- off and some decent surf. With the morning mist hanging over the water and low hills providing a backdrop to the curve of the bay, it is an alluring postcard setting.

It was perhaps a moment like this that enthralled Australian prime minister Harold Holt who waded out to sea and was never seen again. And while people around the world continue to misplace car keys, mobile phones, and even prime ministers, Vietnam chugs on serenely, at 3. Vietnam beaches run north- south along the Pacific Ocean from Hue, Danang and the old port city of Hoi An to Nha Trang (which has gained a reputation as a dive centre though it is more of a beach town).

The coast runs on past Quy Nhon and down to Phan Thiet and Mui Ne, the playground of Saigon's nouveau riche and frantically holidaying expatriate community. Just south of Phan Thiet is the emerging area of Ke Ga. From here head on to Long Hai and the three- star offerings of Vung Tau. On Phu Quoc island, in the Gulf of Thailand there’s more white sand beach and a smattering of hotels. Phu Quoc is about the size of Phuket with an array of hotels rising up along the sands. The best beaches are along the southwest coast.

Vin Pearl Ha Long Bay/ photo: hotel. Up north in scenic Ha Long Bay, the 2. Tuan Chau Holiday Villa Halong Bay is set on a private island.

Villa accommodation is stylish and lavish running down the hillside to the seaside. The island has been developed an all- in entertainment getaway with dolphin and crocodile shows, theme parks, golf, and more hotel rooms. There are water and laser shows to keep families occupied, and the more energetic can pursue a broad range of water sports and beach activity – or a hard- hitting game of tennis.

Pick a Deluxe Pine Hill Villa or go up to an Executive Seaside Villa Beachfront, all with mini- bar, Wi. Fi and satellite TV. The ballroom can hold 3. At a pinch this dramatic coast can be squeezed in as a day trip from Hanoi but it is best enjoyed over a couple of days with a Halong Bay cruise through the limestone outcroppings that lend the area its unique 2. Novotel Ha Long Bay (an earlier entrant since 2. Novotel trappings – rooms are clean- lined with a hint of Vietnamese influence and have aircon, cable television, complimentary Wi.

Fi, in- room safe. Request a room with a view of the bay. Novotel caters for the business crowd with plenty of meeting space, as well as three restaurants to cut some deals. Another of the many options in this area is the Royal Lotus Hotel Halong, a hotel rather than resort- style set- up with space for meetings and conferences, an indoor pool, varied cuisine including Japanese, and contemporary rooms with bright colours and wooden floors. Also a city- style highrise is the Saigon Halong Hotel. Other entrants in Ha Long Bay include the massive Vin Pearl Ha Long Bay Resort with the usual raft of facilities (and somewhat impersonal service) and the highrise Wyndham Legend Halong Hotel, a comfortable and neat option with good bay views.

Flying to Hue or Danang on Vietnam Airlines is the easiest option. The carrier uses Airbus A- 3. A3. 20 aircraft with a single- aisle 3- 3 seat configuration on the short hop from Hanoi. Watch American Poltergeist Online Free HD on this page.

If you're on one of these aircraft, pick middle seats B and E for about two to four inches of extra seat width. Pilgrimage Village Hue brick room/ photo: Vijay Verghese. There are regular direct flights to Danang from Hong Kong (Dragonair) and from Singapore (Silk. Air). Hue airport is small and unhurried.

An alternative entry point is via Danang Airport. Grab a taxi and head off. The exchange rate is roughly US$1=2. Once the flourishing capital of the Nguyen Dynasty and later severely pummelled during the 1. Tet Offensive, Hue has lost much of its imperial accoutrement but retains a certain historical cachet. The area is littered with small private pagodas and village homes in the classical Oriental style mixing Chinese architectural forms with Vietnamese styles.

It is a low- rise community with the occasional high- rise hotel or office block. The Perfume River (Huong River) runs a lazy course through the town, passing by the Citadel and its Forbidden City.

Hue hotel and resort options are laid- back and unpretentious in keeping with the style of this ancient town. A distinct departure, and pleasurably so, is the Indochine Palace (formerly Best Western Premier), a white high- rise mimicking a fashionable Paris block with an Indochine “Noble House” theme carried through the interiors. This modern dedication to the last Nguyen emperor, Queen Nam Phuong, offers spacious rooms and suites, starting from 3. TVs, free Wi. Fi throughout, a work desk, and signature toiletries. The safe can house a laptop and a wooden latticework sliding door separates the bedroom from the open- plan bathing area and washbasin. The grand lobby with its de rigueur staircase is in gold hues with ornate chandeliers and beige marble. Indochine Palace/ photo: hotel.
