Ho Chi Minh

"Despite not being the capital city of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City (also known as “Sài Gòn”) still has the best proportions of developments. There are many aspects of Sài Gòn that visitors can enjoy. In the early morning the city is peaceful and calm, whilst in the afternoons and evenings the hustle and bustle of the city becomes apparent." – Johnny
