Ho Chi Minh City — formerly Saigon — is a bustling metropolis with rich cultural attractions that looks as much to the past as it does to the future. By day, absorb the sights and sounds of Cholon, the city's vibrant Chinatown, and descend into the Cu Chi Tunnels, the subterranean network used by Vietnamese fighters during the long struggle for independence.
Travel by roads from Saigon to the Mekong Delta. Just like the Ganges to India, or Yangtze River to China, Mekong River has been the primary element that creates the natural environment and ecosystem from which the civilization of Mekong Delta was born.
