My recent 2 days stop-over at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam has also uncover many interest spots. Unlike Hanoi, landing into Saigon is liked stepping back into history, maybe 10 – 20 years although the city center is very much modern and with the highest building Saigon Trade Center rising some 33 floors. Similarly, the City has many things to offer, the sites, the food and the entertainment.
Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam. Under the name Saigon (Vietnamese: Sài Gòn; it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. In 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding province of Gia Định and was officially renamed Hồ Chí Minh City (although the name Sài Gòn - formally known as District 1 - is still commonly used.
The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers from the South China Sea.
The metropolitan area, which consists of Hồ Chí Minh City metro area, and surrounding towns, is populated by more than 9 million people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam. The Greater Ho Chi Minh city Metropolitan Area have an area of 30,000 square kilometers will have a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020.
