Nha Trang, Vietnam, 1997 Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita "Following
peacetime rhythms, locals flock each morning to a beach in the city
where the first U.S. servicemen sent to Vietnam arrived in 1952 to fix
airplanes for French forces. Today the victorious communists are
deferring to the economic know-how of the once capitalist south."

(Text and photograph from "Crossroads of Asia: South China Sea,"
December 1998, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
