Journey Through Ho Chi Minh City: A Pictorial Guide to Vietnam's Emerging Economic Centre

Tree-lined avenues, French cafes and crowded marketplaces...Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh is a city that is truly alive. Straddling the Saigon River, it is the largest city in Vietnam and fast becoming a flourishing commercial centre. Formerly called Saigon, the city was renamed in 1975 and has since attracted the presence of major international brands. Along Dong Khoi Street, the aromas of spicy soup and freshly baked baguettes permeate the air. Numerous art galleries, designer shops and bars flank the French-styled boulevards and children play street games in the unbearable afternoon heat. An intoxicating atmosphere, friendly people and authentic street scenes all come together to make Ho Chi Minh City a place that lingers with you long after you've left it.
