Things have come a long way since the tumultuous years were told through the somewhat cliché “Miss Saigon” Broadway musical. Vietnam is now a progressing economy and widely-favoured tourist destination in the Indochina region. In Ho Chi Minh City, although vestiges of war are still remembered in the War Remnants Museum, you’ll be surprised how much of the city (Vietnam’s largest) has progressed with the times. The juxtaposition of old and new is evident at Temple Club, an uber-stylish watering hole housed in an old Chinese temple. Trendy Ton That Thiep will reward the ardent shopper with quality clothing, homeware and knick-knacks.
Be sure to try some Vietnamese street food, a plethora that draws influences from its historical roots. Don’t be surprised to find Chinese-style Herbal Lamb Stew sharing tables with French baguettes and the ubiquitous Vietnamese coffee. Book a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City today for a deliciously new experience!
