Through pictures posted on the Instagram account of the Huffington Post, Vietnam appears both lively and serene.

From the solitary beaches of Ha Long Bay to the chaotic streets of Ho Chi Minh City, travelers to Vietnam will be rewarded by the country's dramatic landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

"Through Your Lens" is a project of Huffington Post. By opening an Instagram account named Worldpost, the American newspaper wants its readers to share beautiful photos taken while traveling. All pictures are grouped by destination and introduced to the public each week. Recently, the site published images of Vietnam tourism.

“I spent four days riding through the backcountry of Northern Vietnam getting to know a place of extraordinary beauty. I rode through rice fields and over mountains, all the while interacting with some of the most down-to-earth, kind people I have ever met. I took this picture on the side of a small country road. It was the Golden Hour in the Golden Land,” wrote Rezonate.

Back streets of the Mekong Delta. “While this may look like a quiet backwater, behind me is a long line of boats full of tourists all being floated down the same route. This sort of thing is always bittersweet for me, as much as being part of mass formulaic tourism has its woes, I can also still appreciate the experience itself (don't look behind!!) and the support the jobs bring to the local economy is priceless,” wrote where's wiwi.
