Ho Chi Minh City - Part 1

Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam. It is located in the southeast of the Asian country and is considered a province in its own right in Vietnam. From 1949 to 1975 it was the capital of South Vietnam, at that time still under the name Saigon.

The 19 urban districts cover an area of 494 square kilometres. Each has its own DNA and has its own individual facets. Full of energy and motor bikes.
