This most popular
city port in Vietnam boasts of a rich cultural heritage as much as good people. Located more or less 50 miles from the vast South China Sea, it is actually on the beautiful Saigon River. This river is found on the wayward north of Mekong Delta. The bustling metropolitan area of this city has a lot of businesses to run each and every day due to its ties with the Cholon city, which is a city wherein all the industries of Vietnam operate.
Ho Chi Minh is far from an American's idea of a war-torn city that has never managed to heal its scars from that damn Vietnam War. This city now has a lot of high-rise buildings, shopping malls, and almost every bit of a business center imaginable to Western civilization. But it has still not yet lost its touch when it comes to defining its culture and history. This city is home to the country's leading universities, along with some of the best museums and historical monuments in Asia. Plus, you could even get a
good hearty meal in some of those Vietnamese-run restaurants, wherein they serve some of the best Asian food I have ever tasted. No trace of those scars from war here whatsoever, except, of course, in those unseen hearts of those good Vietnamese people.
