Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is Vietnam's biggest city and its most popular tourist destination.
During the 1960's Saigon was a hotbed of activity as artists, businessmen, journalists and spies filled the city. International intrigue stood on every corner and the city ran nonstop. Then came the Vietnam War, and Saigon changed forever.
Today, this modern city of 12 million people, with 5 million scooters, presents a fascinating destination for any traveler. In Saigon you will be captivated by its Chinese and French influences, great food, and friendly, smiling people.

In Saigon there's a most amazing sight; along most city streets, cable, electric and telephone wires are hung en masse. How they find one that's not working remains a mystery to me.
