Ho Chi Minh

Deemed as a microcosm of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is a melting pot of culture and an extravaganza of culinary delights. Albeit relatively young compared to Hanoi and Danang, Ho Chi Minh City, endowed with a rich and colorful history as well as staple yet delicious food, is far from lagging behind these two cities in terms of tourism. One of Vietnam’s most visited destinations, this city can be described as an amalgam of a fast-paced life and a rich inheritance. Ho Chi Minh City is emerging as a quintessential cosmopolitan city with the construction of many mega-malls, entertainment complexes and an enhanced public transport system. Travelers can now have more choices to put in their itineraries other than traditional tourist attractions like the Notre Dame Cathedral or the Central Post Office. Also, there are now many types of restaurants and accommodation, ranging from budget hostels to luxury hotels, to opt for. A trip to Ho Chi Minh City will both fulfill your expectation of a rising Southeast Asian hub and surpass your imagination of any typical exotic tropical land.
