Visiting Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam has just been honored as Asia’s Leading Destination 2021, attracting more and more international tourists to visit, explore and experience. Whether going to the forest or to the sea, tourists are free to explore the “timeless charm” of the paradise lands in Vietnam.
In particular, Ho Chi Minh City will be one of the places not to be missed when coming to the S-shaped strip of land. Ho Chi Minh City is a young city with a history of just over 300 years of formation and development. This city is referred to as “the Pearl of the Far East” with its captivating heritage architecture, dynamic and bustling atmosphere and friendly people. These characteristics make Ho Chi Minh City become an attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.
