7 nætter fra Ho Chi Minh City- Saigon med AmaDara

Sydvietnams tidligere hovedstad I forhold til andre steder i Vietnam ses de største kontraster i Ho Chi Minh City. En blanding af nyt og gammelt og stort og småt. Smukke butikker kontra hektiske markeder, moderne skyskrabere og små huse står side om side. Et er dog sikkert – livet leves på gaden, der summer af liv. Det er her at du får de største oplevelser. I 1975 fik Vietnam sin genforening. På det tidspunkt var Saigon Sydvietnams regeringsby, men efter genforeningen blev Hanoi igen hovedstad, og Saigon fik sit nuværende navn Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City er Vietnams største og mest moderne by. Ligesom i Hanoi, har bybilledet ændret sig fra at være domineret af cykler til i dag at være domineret af scootere, motorcykler og knallerter. I byen findes der grønne parker, som kan være et befriende besøg, hvis du trænger til åndehul i den hektiske trafik. Besøg også byens gamle China Town med det store marked og den smukke pagode. Det tidligere præsidentpalads, kendt for sin symbolske rolle i Saigons fald i 1975, og krigsmuseet Vietnam War Remnats Museum er også et besøg værd. Har I flere dage i byen, kan I tage på heldagstur til Mekong-deltaet eller til Cu Chi-tunnelerne.
