Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city of Vietnam, is its economic and as some say,
its tourism capital. This bustling city is the most densely populated city in
Vietnam. The City's status as commercial capital has not taken away anything from
its cultural roots. The timelessness of tradition and its ancient culture is still
as much a part of the city as it was in the yesteryears.
The city streets are a lively scene. They are a dizzying jumble of street markets,
shops, pavement cafes, stands-on-wheels and vendors selling wares spread out
on sidewalks. From DVDs to street snacks everything is sold by the pavement
vendors and the air in the markets is always charged with excitement.
Popular tourism destinations in from Ho Chi Min City include the Vietnam History
Museum; the grisly War Remnants Museum. Nearby is Cholon, the Chinese District,
with its pagodas and exotic markets. The food in Ho Chi Minh City is some of
the best Vietnam has to offer, its nightlife is rocking, and the shopping to
die for! The city is also an excellent starting point for excursions to southern
destinations including the Mekong Delta, the Cu Chi Tunnels, and Vung Tao beaches.
