About Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam's largest city, in the south, still widely called Saigon. It is flat and spread out, with motorbikes dominating the streets and ride hailing filling in where walking stops being practical; District 1 holds most of the museums and colonial-era buildings. The climate splits into a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November, warm throughout.
