Bustling Ho Chi Minh City + Video

The largest city in Vietnam with a population of over nine million, Ho Chi Minh City offers a plethora of interesting sites and attractions. Bustling Chinatown reveals the merchant nature of the ethnic Chinese who have traded here for over 300 years. The city centre reveals its French colonial past with beautifully restored colonial-era buildings, including the city Post Office and Nore Dame Cathedral. One must not overlook the Vietnam War-era historic sites and museums – the Reunification Palace from where South Vietnam ran its war effort, to the confronting War Remnants Museum, revealing the horrors of war from a local perspective.  

Ho Chi Minh City is also the gateway to many attractions in the south of the country, the Cu Chi Tunnels, Long Tan Cross Memorial, and the breadbasket of the country – the Mekong Delta.
