Though officially named Ho Chi Minh City since 1975, nobody but nobody who lives here calls the city anything but Saigon. (Even the state-run Vietnam Railways refers to it as Saigon rather than Ho Chi Minh City). Saigon is noted for its variety of cuisine, thanks in part to its location near the abundance of fresh ingredients in the Mekong Delta. Though busier and more hectic than the capital Hanoi, Saigon hums with life and pizazz. It's hot, tropical climate give Saigon a more sultry anything-goes atmosphere as well.
