Beautiful Vietnam through American tourist’s lens

An American anesthesiologist Stephen Wallace has shared some of his photographs on Vietnam’s landscapes and people taken during his recent trip to the country.

All photos are posted on the US online newspaper, Huffington Post.

Revealing his decision to return to Vietnam, Stephen Wallace said that this year marks the 50th anniversary of US Marines landing in full combat gear at Red Beach near Danang and the 40th anniversary of southern liberation, national reunification.

‘My country put the Vietnamese people through a hell that should never have happened”, he writes on the website. However, any animus once held for the United States has long ago evaporated. The Vietnamese are gracious, sincere, hardworking, wonderful people that are extremely happy our countries are now friends.’
