Brief description :
Ho Chi Minh City, the industrial hub of Vietnam, has huge resources to draw your attention. This dynamic city being the cultural trendsetter constitutes the core of Vietnam. It is also the biggest city of the nation and considered as the economic capital of the country. The Ho Chi Minh City features French colonial architecture mingled with Chinese influences.
The city was once known as Saigon. Later the government of Ha Noi changed its name to Ho Chi Minh City. However its previous name, Saigon, is still more popular among people of Vietnam. The city with its bustling street markets, cafes, shops, pagodas and museums offers a microcosmic view of the entire nation.
Detailed itinerary:
Highlights tour
+ Reunification Palace:Reunification Palace formerly known as Independence Palace built on the site of the former Norodom Palace, is a historic landmark in Ho Chi Minh city , Vietnam. It was designed by architect Ngo Viet Thu as the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and the site of the official handover of power during the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. It was then known as Independence Palace, and an NVA tank crashed through its gates, as recorded by Neil Davis.
+ War Remains Museum: The War Remnants Museum, or War Crimes Museum, is a must see for anyone interested in late 20th century history. The tanks, helicopters, planes and arms on display are not what makes of this such an important visit. What draws most visitors here are the images on display. Visitors can see the effects of the weapons of mass destruction used by the Americans during The Vietnam War (or American War, as locals call it). + Ben Thanh market: The Benh Thanh market, seems to be another albeit somewhat smaller typical market you will find in South East Asia. Selling the usual ,T-shirts, jeans jewelry ,sunglasses,silks and souvenirs. Again it is a typical rabbit warren ,not big enough to get lost in , But enough to maybe find a few useful things for your travels or some presents. There is also a night market that starts at 6 PM , again with the same products, but a nice area of outdoor cafes
