Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, still known as Saigon to many, is a cacophony of sights, chaos and sounds that is rewards urban explorers willing to get a little lost in what is called “largest city of Vietnam”. Ho Chi Minh City is filled with non-stop action, grit, character, and some of the best eats in Asia, perhaps in the world. By Vietnamese standards Saigon, or ‘Ho Chi Minh City’ as it is officially known, is a modern city thriving on the fast-paced lifestyle that comes with the commercial gains. Despite this, there are still many historical sites and locations to see and visit in and around Saigon, including the Mekong Delta to the south and the famous Cu Chi Tunnels to the west.
For many, Saigon is an starting point of a trip through Vietnam and of even South East of Asia, there are frequent flights to/from the city to neighboring Cambodia including Siem Reap and Phnom Penh as well as flight to Vientiane to Laos, to Bangkok, Myanmar and other destinations in Asia, so, to plan your trip you just need to be there and you will get a wide array of options to start a long journey through Indochina.
