HONEST Lady SAVED my 200,000 | Ho Chi Minh City Tour

Ho Chi Minh City, largest city in Vietnam. It was the capital of the French protectorate of Cochinchina (1862-1954) and of South Vietnam (1954-75). The city lies along the Saigon River (Song Sai Gon) to the north of the Mekong River delta, about 50 miles (80 km) from the South China Sea. The commercial centre of Cho Lon lies immediately west of Ho Chi Minh City.
The area now occupied by Ho Chi Minh City was for a long time part of the kingdom of Cambodia. The Vietnamese first gained entry to the region in the 17th century. Relations with France began in the 18th century, when French traders and missionaries settled in the area. In 1859 the town was captured by the French, and in 1862 it was ceded to France by the Vietnamese emperor Tu Duc. As the capital of Cochinchina, Saigon was transformed into a major port city and a metropolitan centre of beautiful villas, imposing public buildings, and well-paved, tree-lined boulevards. Railway lines running north and south of the city were constructed, and Saigon became the principal collecting point for the export of rice grown in the Mekong River delta.
Saigon was occupied by the Japanese in 1940, but French colonial authorities continued to administer Vietnam until 1945, when they were interned by the Japanese. Saigon itself was largely unaffected by World War II.

It was a wonderful experience walking through the streets and riding grab bikes especially when I hired a bike for an hour and then a biker tried to run away after 15 minutes. I still forced him to give a tour for an half hour, and I paid him the price we agreed upon. I regret I could not take the ferry trip and long train trip which I'll do next time.
