Cultural Vietnam Tour
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is located at the heart of the southern part of Viet Nam, between the northern edge of the Mekong Delta and the South-East region of volcanic red soil. Being a transformation between the two terrains, Ho Chi Minh City is intertwined with natural forest, vast plains, long coast and hundreds of rivers and canals. The Saigon River winds around the city and connects it with the East Sea. It is nicknamed "Pearl of the Far East."
