Reasons to Visit Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is somewhere I never thought about visiting until I did some research. While it's not usually where travelers head in Vietnam (most spend their time in Hanoi and Halong Bay), I wanted to see the capital city and it was definitely one of the cheapest cities to fly into. Even though we spent two days there, it was a glorious city to explore and we ate lots of Phở and spring rolls and avoided getting hit by motorbikes running around. If you haven't considered visiting this city, you can look at these photos to get a taste and hopefully go someday.
