Saigon is one of the cities in Vietnam that has become the trade center of for Japan, China and Western countries who sailed the Saigon River to Pho Island.

Saigon as the largest city in southern Vietnam is experiencing rapid development since the 18th century. The city was then officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City since 1976 to honor their independence father “Uncle Ho”.

For some local residents, Saigon remains a popular name for city with 8 million people. Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City re-styled and slicked up to become an attractive place for foreign tourists. Although under the control of the communist regime, there are still many French colonial heritages in Saigon who remain well cared for.

In fact, United States (U.S.) war machines, such as tanks and aircraft, are not destroyed.

Passion Night at Bonsai Ship

They offer services from morning till night. One of the interesting ship on Saigon River that you must try is Bonsai I. The ship is owned by businessmen from Austria, Stefan Ernst. With 40 meters long and 9.5 meters wide, this ship is quite small. But they have a relatively attractive and luxury package. Dishes are presented in the form of fried shrimp, rice, fried chicken, fruit, and European dishes also Vietnamese standards.
