This document purports to provide 17 reasons why visiting Vietnam would be a complete waste of time, however it does the opposite and provides beautiful descriptions of the natural scenery, cultural attractions, architecture, and friendly locals that make visiting Vietnam appealing. It uses vivid language and photos to describe scenic landscapes like rice fields and islands, cultural celebrations and traditions like water puppetry, vibrant cities with impressive skylines and nightlife, well preserved historical sites, peaceful monasteries, and more, contradicting the claim that visiting Vietnam is a dumb idea.
