Why is cultural tourism in Vietnam worth trying?

Physical cultural products are the result of daily activities of local people, which are pictures, art, tools or literature, typically Dong Son bronze drums. In contrast, intangible culture includes invisible values, such as folk songs and proverbs, folk performances, myths, songs, and art tunes. Meanwhile, spiritual cultural tourism includes tourism activities associated with beliefs, religions or special spiritual values.
