Bulging with a population close to seven million people, free-spirited Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's largest and most exciting city. Tree-lined boulevards with magnificent French villas, outdoor cafés, chic fashions, and beautiful young people who never seem to sleep, make this "Paris of the East" one of Asia's up-and-coming cultural and economic centers. Besides visiting all the famous tourist spots, you'll have plenty of time for shopping, a visit to a tailor (custom made clothes are very inexpensive), plus al fresco feasts of mountainous platters of crab and other local delicacies. Saigon is famous for its rollicking nightlife, so don't miss a chance to go dancing at a local disco or people-watching at a crowded, street-side bia hoi (fresh beer) shop. You'll also enjoy a cruise down the placid waters of the Mekong River where you will visit a floating city, explore pagodas, and visit local coconut confectioneries. Arrive any day of the week and stay three days or longer. Saucy Saigon will cast a spell on you that lasts a lifetime.
