Hong Kong, when compared to Saigon, comes across as a quaint little village. Saigon, the largest city in Vietnam and its economic center, is an electric and vibrant city of 8-million inhabitants. Swarms--literally--of bicycles, motorbikes, pedi-cabs (called ‘cyclos’ in Vietnam) and other vehicles move in vast waves as if in a prearranged ballet of motion, constant animation and seeming chaos. Originally founded by the French in 1863, its now well worn French colonial veneer hints at times past while throbbing to rhythms and beats of the modern era. If only for a day, Saigon is a must see city for any visit to Vietnam.

Air Transportation: Daily and multiple air service from all Vietnamese cities. Daily intra Indochina and Asian air service from Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Vientiane, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea and Japan.
