Best Of The South
Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, is a pulsating city home to glittering skyscrapers, vibrant nightlife and chic fashion. Yet juxtaposed amid this dynamism is also a city filled with grandiose colonial architecture, wide tree-lined boulevards and ladies in conical hats peddling their wares along the streets. A boat cruise in the Mekong Delta is a great way to complete your southern Vietnam experience.
