Ho Chi Minh City Attractions
Ho Chi Minh City is a unique blend of the ancient and modern. Incense-scented temples and colonial structures lie nestled alongside sleek, towering skyscrapers, giving the city a distinct skyline and feel. Formerly known as Saigon, the city's architecture offers poignant reminders of its French-colonial past and the tumultuous legacy of the Vietnam War is still felt at places like the Reunification Palace and Cu Chi tunnels. But that's not to say Ho Chi Minh City is stuck in the past. This contemporary city is full of new and fascinating things just waiting to be uncovered.
