Because of poor road conditions throughout much of the country, transportation over land is difficult, except along the coast. The two main cities in Vietnam, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, are connected by highway and railway running along the coast.
Otherwise, the Vietnamese rely mainly on the rivers and canals running through the country in order to interact with each other. Besides this, both major cities have international airports and some smaller cities are connected by air too. The picture shows a plane at the airport in Hanoi. The country’s major ports - all important to the economy and interaction with other countries- are situated throughout Vietnam. There is Haiphong in the north, Ho Chi Minh in the south, Da Nang in the central regions, and Cam Ranh, a natural harbour developed during the war.
As of 2004, there was 10, 124, 900 main telephone lines in the country and 4.96 million cell phones. Therefore, Vietnam does have modern methods of communication.
