Saigon - Discovery of the city

Saigon - Discovery of the city

Economic capital of Vietnam, Hồ Chí Minh-City is a bulimic city, frenetic, enterprising and rebellious, commercial, southern and tropical. Placed in the loop of a nonchalant river, in the heart of a low and wet plain of bright green, Hồ Chí Minh-City, which everyone here continues to call Saigon (its name before 1975), has known 95 years of French influence, supported the Americans, resisted the bureaucracy of the North. Today, she shows an insolent economic dynamism and her standard of living is higher than the rest of Vietnam.
