Travel in Saigon- a Good Way to Spend the Vacation

Saigon now known as Ho Chi Minh City stands as the biggest city in Vietnam. During the time of rule by the Cambodians the city was called Prey Nokor (Prey means “wood” or “forest” and Nokor means “city” which is derived from the Sanskrit word for city Nagara). Prey Nokor served as the major port for the Khmers and was a small fishing village until the city of Prey Nokor was captured by the Vietnamese during the seventeenth century. In the Vietnamese language the city came to be called Sai Gon. During the French Colonial times the city Ho Chi Minh was called Saigon and was the capital of their colony Cochinchina. Later after independence this became the capital city of South Vietnam, in the years 1954 to 1975. When Vietnam was united in 1976 and became the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the city extended and renamed Ho Chi Minh City, in memory of the communist leader Ho Chi Minh.

The city centre is located sixty kilometers from the South China Sea, along the banks of the Saigon River. Towards the north about 1, 760 km one will find the capital city of Vietnam, Hanoi.
