“A vibrant metropolis of youthful energy”

Formerly known as Saigon when it was the capital of French Cochinchine, Ho Chi Minh City today is a pulsating megacity of close to 13 million people. Though it has rapidly developed into a cosmopolitan city with skyscrapers and international shopping centres, there are remnants of its past visible in its historic landmarks and beautiful French colonial buildings. The city exudes a constant buzz with millions of scooters and people on the go.
