Ho Chi Minh City (HoChi Minh City) used to be called Sai (Sai Gon), Viet Nam's first big cities, the urban planning and living standards are better than the capital Hanoi.
Since 1883, France in Sai Kung after heart operation up to 73 years, leaving many not only French architecture, is now out plain old, but still easily stand proud, to see how those Kung Zoomorphic. Red Church in the city centre, near the landscape, and Paris Champs Elysees Avenue and afterwards, in the style of those spacious Avenue to the Red Church-centered to the radiation, on both sides of the Quartet and the Centre of Ho Chi Minh City, tree, is the most beautiful areas of the essence. This and my impression that the war years, refugees scattered in Viet Nam gap is too big, Ho Chi Minh City has so much to learn, and romantic.For me this time of Viet Nam journey is business travel and not as a tourist, so many places I have been to, unfortunately.
Viet Nam's transport to motorcycles and tricycles, manpower public transport rather backward, bus lines is very small.I hired a car is only unique to Viet Nam to "front-human tricycle" (passenger in the front, the rear brake cleaner) from Red church went to Chinatown "embankment" (Trai).
The real taste of the Viet Nam first major cities in traffic conditions.The street was filled with Japan and China imported motorcycles, in particular the crossroads, motorcycle is much like the Ant, the exhaust pipe jetting of smoke and the engine ROAR mixed together, 99% of the motorcycle has no apparent view mirror, and depending on your mirror of it would have been left out of the mirror and twisted to the body of the Central "herself", not to see the road behind; 100% of the motorcycle without a helmet, but still did not affect a family of four out of the "whole family", and to turn around the dauntless spirit, in the car on the hostile sea.
"Front-human tricycle" Coachman similarly bold terrible, "pushing" the passengers in the steel world motorcycle Shuttle, extremely fast and despise all the traffic light, as if nothing, "implementation" tricycles technology also is the first in the world, they almost never reached and collision "Sagely chaozong," the top of the POPs.
On several occasions in the narrowly (perhaps five centimeters) when it hit the front of the motorcycle, but GA however, security out of danger.Human tricycles for foreign tourists tend to be slaughtered a knife "gentle", a short distance one more open to 20000 rupiah (about RMB 11 Yuan), usually you have to cut the Fink, 8000 more shield (about RMB 4.50) can make a deal.
Long point road, preferably by TAXI, the tricycle is too dangerous.Ho Chi Minh City by TAXI there are yellow and white two-body, yellow body start price 12000 more rupiah (about RMB 6.50), white body start price is 8000, the shield, zaike phenomenon less, but only a few can speak a little English, all old condition, from top to bottom.
Accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City, various grades are convenient hotel for many, the Red Church set up nearly 30 three-to four-star hotel, the price is about US $ 30-80.
Chinatown hotel, no less, but relatively old, room small, poor health. I later found a hotel well suited to the needs of self-service travellers, conveniently located, the rooms are bright, due to poor health, common terrace, price as long as 14 dollars (about RMB 115 Yuan), the boss and the waiter is fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, television could see Hong Kong's "Phoenix," Chinese "joint report". I only discovered after arrival has many Taiwan compatriots also lived in this hotel really on the ball.The hotel's name is called "Fong Ying hotel" (PHUONG ANN HOTEL), the address is: Ho Chi Minh City, the first County-Chen Ruan HOS (118, no. 118 Nguyen Cu Trinh Dist 1.
Ho Chi Minh City）。Ho Chi Minh City's religious belief by external.
Eighteenth century because of France's colonial rule, many people believe in the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church can be seen here, but Buddhism is the first major religions. China, the more incoming Taoism took home Hoa and and good teaching influence. In many Chinese shop almost all houses with Guangdong folk-like shrine, on the left is the land of God, the right is a statue looks like the romance of Zhuge Liang, right hand holds fan, but rich state charities, two written moustached, saying that "the five five Earth Dragon Lord." Shrine decorated with many holiday lights, flashing, it looks very like nightclubs or karaoke."Fong Ying hotel" left a temple, a find, I discovered that Viet Nam's unique "and good education".
Circular dome is Islam's "Crescent" tag, tag, it is a Buddhist "Lotus" dome "beneath the Taoist Tai Chi-yang figure", "three religions-in-one great unity". "Good education" in Viet Nam has a vast number of believers in the South, they consider that no matter what religion are asking someone to guard its ultimate purpose is consistent, where you can see that Viet Nam people inside actually has a lot of inclusive, but not as we imagine it with a violent and aggressive.Viet Nam-China relations rather long, 1883-year battle, France over China over a thousand years to Viet Nam's foreign country status, France in this has lasted 70 years of colonial rule, this time accompanied by Western culture and values of osmosis, Ho Chi Minh City people's habits gradually Westernized, cityscape downtown is France.
1954 France people quit Viet Nam, North and South two camps ' in the United States and the Soviet Union of the two major power, their support to 17 degrees north latitude, split into two completely different national social systems. In the late 1950 's Soviet directly involved the political society, the Viet Nam war lasted 20 years. 1975 year 30 April the North Vietnamese army led by Ho Chi Minh in China, with the support of selfless in Sai Kung, national unity, the Viet Nam Government immediately suspend Chinese language schools, 1979, and China's big brother had a fight, completely forgot to add the "gay brothers," feelings.In recent years, Vietnam
South began to China to study the economic reform and opening up, enliven, restored Chinese language teaching, are committed to improving people's lives, and China's growing economic and trade exchanges, trade between China and Vietnam in 1999 amounted to 149 billion, China has become the second only to Japan, Singapore, Viet Nam third trading partner. As of the end of June 2000, a total of about foreign investment was 2801 Viet Nam Government agreed a total investment of 368 billion (source: Consulate General of China in Ho Chi Minh City, the Commerce Department reference compendium).Ho Chi Minh City's snack is very good, my favorite one is called "SUON NUONG" Viet Nam barbecue meal and SAIGON beer, I and a friend had three Taiwan disk barbecue, two spare rice, two feet 9 inches large grilled shrimp, a bottle of SAIGON beer, only took 93600 more rupiah (about RMB 52 Yuan), really cheap.
Ho Chi Minh City's security is not good, I'm Chinese Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City in Taipei Economic and cultural representative office and residential hotel, are cautioned to note his backpack, the city has many motorcycle robbery suspects, designed specifically for foreigners.
Our out (especially businessmen) is often used to install certificates and cash "boss package" caught in the armpit, most easily let criminals exploit, stranger, and the language barrier, it is identified the culprit's appearance and license plate number or back to the resurrection.Along with economic development, Ho Chi Minh City has a very "capitalism", nightclubs, pubs, karaoke, better hotels outside often have many dressed sexy "Sai Seagull" (prostitution Lady), riding a motorcycle designed for business, for foreigners, "national foreign exchange", sometimes playing the "fairy dance", I was not "sour grapes theory", a trip to a country is not easy, unless someone pointing or carefully weight wise (quote from a local Chinese language).
