The Vietnamese traditional dress, "Áo Dài", is one of the most elegant and beautiful dresses for women. It’s very simple, consisting of a close-fitting blouse, with long panels in the front and back, that is worn over loose white trousers. As a Vietnamese girl who loves to travel abroad, sometimes I bring an Áo Dài to travel with me. Whenever I wear it, my Áo Dài always attracts friendly l... Read Full Entry

I am a Hanoi_girl who loves to travel. I work for a Japanese construction company in Hanoi. Over the past few years, I have traveled to 18 countries in Asia and Africa, 58 out of 63 provinces in Vietnam, including 23 trips to Huế city.

I have visited all the countries in South East Asia except Timo... full info

Phát Diệm cathedral, Vietnam

The Red River in northern Vietnam
I am standing in front of Chử Đồng Tử temple (Hưng Yên province). In the background, you can see the Red River, which carries my name. This river originates from China and runs through northern Vietnam (including Hanoi). My parents gave me the name "Red River" in memory of Hanoi. The Áo Dài that I wear is a modern design, which has front and back panels, but no collar and sleeve. It's suitable to wear during the summer time.

Thank you
Thank you for your comment on my Ao Dai photos. I have been working in the construction industry with the Japanese for many years. I can speak English and Japanese, and used to travel in Japan on business in 2004. I'm still new to blog technique and hope to write some travel stories about the countries that I visited and share experiences with other bloggers.

wonderful
Hi, I just came across your site when searching for images of girls in ao dai. Having lived in Vietnam for 15 years I still find the ao dai the most attractive and graceful dress on this planet. Nothing compares to it and it is pleasing to see someone such as yourself travelling the world showcasing this wonderful dress. I can understand the need for young women to wear western style dress these days but perhaps they do not realise that they all look their most beautiful when wearing an ao dai. For me, the ao dai, is the single most beautiful vision of Vietnam and it should be universally recognised as the dress that brings Vietnam's culture to the world. Thanks. Paul

You have a beautiful collection of Ao Dai
You really have nice collection of Ao Dai. I love the accessoires you've used with them, pe the red one with a paper fan in HaLong bay. The violet one at Heaven Gate in Sapa has wonderful colour. One of my favorites is the white one at the Lotus Lake: it is just so pure. Hope to see your new blog soon.

Trip to Vietnam
Having just come back from my first trip to Vietnam I have to say I think your national dress Áo Dai is one of the most beautiful and elegant costumes I have every seen. I only wish now I had got one made for myself as I think they would be most comfortable to wear for any body shape although they do look very good on the slim Vietnamese women. I love your country and hope to get back one day soon as Thypoon Ketsanaprevented us from getting to Halong Bay and Hoi An Happy travelling Sandy

I miss VietNam so much
Thank you, You are so beautiful in ao dai. I live in France for a long time and I miss so much Vietnam and Ao dai. I had only one occasion to wear white Ao dai in France when I presented my project. At that day, every people in my school told me that "so elegant, you are going to a marriage ?", I only told that 'in Vietnam, it is a uniform to go to school, and I want to take advantage this occasion to wear vietnamese uniforme". As you know that Ao dai is so elegant and I am a his fan

Chào em, your photos of the Ao Dai are beautiful - they make me very homesick for Viet Nam! I spend most of my time in Hoi An - returning to Australia only long enough to earn some money! You have certainly travelled far & wide! What do you do for the company? Safe travelling. Mai.
