This article was produced byNational Geographic Traveller(UK). There’s no better time to visit a new place than during a festival. These heightened moments, special points in the calendar, are when a culture reveals itself most vividly: town squares are festooned with flowers and draped in finery, people conceal themselves beneath extravagant costumes and wild-eyed masks, and the air is filled with the sound of music and the delicious smells of festival food.

This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). “Safe travels. And don’t touch the bomb!” It’s a disorientating message to hear crackling through my phone as my Deutsche Bahn train glides through the outer suburbs of Dresden on a chilly, darkening evening. I feel like Billy Pilgrim, the time-travelling protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut’s war novel Slaughterhouse-Five, barrelling headlong into the 1945 firebombing that remains intertwined with the fate of this German city.

My first time writing an entire @NatGeoTravelUK cover story, and an honour to do it on Vietnam, 50 years from the end of the Vietnam War. Feat. hill-tribe villages in Mai Chau, whale cults in Mui Ne, and courtly vegetarian food in Hue, among much else. In shops now. https://t.co/iTDmFQQBDd
