Ho Chi Minh City is the country's biggest city and its economic capital, and also an unmissable place to go during your trip to Vietnam.
My suggestion
Don't miss the War Remnants Museum which is both interesting and moving.

My suggestion
Something to see on every corner!

Blue Hmong, Red Dao, Black Lolo... The ethnic minority groups living in the misty mountains of Northern Vietnam form a true patchwork quilt of different cultures. Going to meet them is guaranteed to be an intense trip that would only equal coming into contact with other ancestral peoples.
