HO CHI MINH CITY_ CU CHI_ MEKONG DELTA 2DAYS 2NIGHTS

Saigon is a fast growing city, which is changing day by day and recognized by high buildings and colourfull at night time. The ongoing changes in economy have given the city a really cosmopolitan and dynamic character. In 1859 the city was captured by the French and became the capital of Indochina. From 1956 until its dramatic demise in April 1975 it was the capital of the US-backed Republic of Vietnam. Today, Ho Chi Minh City is the heart of Vietnamese business and entrepreneurs. The city still retains its connections to the past, particularly in Cho lon. Here dozens of elegant temples and pagodas can be seen. The French also left their mark with some fine colonial-era buildings such as the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office.
