Officiellement nommée Ho Chi Minh-Ville, le nom de Saigon est toujours préféré et utilisé quotidiennement par les Vietnamiens locaux. Depuis le premier jour où la ville a été fondée, Saigon est restée le principal centre économique du Vietnam. Tout le charme de Hanoï se trouve dans l'atmosphère tranquille, au rythme lent de vie et plus approprié pour les poètes et les écrivains; Saigon est bien connue pour son esprit entrepreneurial, la vie dynamique et plus adaptée aux hommes d'affaires. Hanoï est plus une ville d'histoire, des valeurs traditionnelles; Saigon est d'embrasser des changements et plus d'une ville de l'avenir.

In late afternoon, we start our tour at the Notre Dame Cathedral to adore the amazing traffic flowing by...

In early evening, the lighting and the Cathedral looks just more spectacular.

Walking along Dong Khoi Street or formerly known as la rue Catinat, we'll be charmed by the traffic again, the street lights and the cliche shops.

We'll be passing many old building and hotels which were from the 19th century.

We stop for a rest at the Municipal Theater once the Parliament Building of the former Republic of South Vietnam.

Then we continue onto Le Loi Boulevard heading towards to Ben Thanh Market.

We turn right into Nguyen Hue Boulevard with crescent-shaped street lights.

Walking towards the end of Nguyen Hue Boulevard, we arrive at L’hôtel de Ville or the Building of Local People's Committee.

If you have time, we can walk further to the Central Park near Ben Thanh Market for a move at the dance club in the Central Park of Saigon.
