The largest city in Vietnam, Saigon boasts a population over 7 million, and this vibrant and somewhat chaotic city is evidence of this. If Hanoi is home to a motorbike chorus, then Saigon is the full choir. The populace swarms around you on their two wheeled steeds, with horns that seem to be stuck on high volume. Tourists are spoiled for choice in this bustling metropolis, where everything is on offer. The food is world class, bargains abound in markets with maze like aisles that seem to never end, and different attractions are around every corner, from the stunningly beautiful to the deeply moving. For a taste of history, head to the Reunification Palace, or escape to the parks surrounding it that serve as a welcome respite from the chaos.
An attractive place can be Dragon House Wharf (Ben Nha Rong), a large trading harbor built by French, and in 1911, Mr. Ho Chi Minh left here to seek way to liberate the nation. Saigon Opera house is also a good place to visit. With its elegant architecture and wonderful performances, it can please even the most demanding guests. Nevertheless, people who seek for a place o tranquility can go to Nortre-Dame Cathedral to relax their soul. The decent atmosphere here can drive away any stress of visitors. Last but not least, Dai Nam Park is a perfect place to feel the nature with mixture of natural aspects and modern architecture.
Hanoi, Vietnam\'s capital, lies on the banks of the Red River, some 100 kilometres from its mouth. Human settlements at the place date back as far as the 3rd century B.C.
