The Ultimate Vietnam Travel Guide to Ho Chi Minh City
Intro
First things first - if you didn't know that Ho Chi Minh City was also known as Saigon, don't worry. I didn't know either ☺️
Second, if this is your FIRST time visiting Vietnam, I recommend starting off your trip in Ho Chi Minh City, to familiarize yourself with the people, language, food, and currency, since it is the biggest city in Vietnam. Make sure you're asking your questions to all the locals, meet other tourists, get used to the transit system, which will ALL ultimately help prepare you for your next destination in Vietnam.
I was shocked 😱
My first impressions of Ho Chi Minh City were shocking, to say the least. I didn't expect the city to be as developed as it is, and didn't realize how much smaller the city actually is it!
But as a city that's 809 mi² long with a population of 8.4 million people, there's a handful of things you definitely don't want to miss out on during your visit.
