Walking in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, still widely called Saigon, is Vietnam's largest and busiest city. Its central District 1 has colonial landmarks, war history and a legendary street-food scene.

Crossing roads. Cross slowly and steadily so scooters can flow around you.

Heat. Hot all year. Walk in the morning or evening and carry water.
