Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a sprawling metropolis that is home to more than 5 million people. Vibrant and alluring, this city offers something for everyone. It is a study in contrasts: traditional and modern, young and old, rich and poor.

Besides, the Backpacker District of Saigon is also known for its affordable guest houses and mini-hotels as well as the availability of tourist agencies, which is similar to Khao San Road in Bangkok, Thailand.
