A Comparison Between The Two Most Happening Cities- Mumbai And Ho Chi Minh City

Words will actually fall short to describe this city, but still, let’s give it a shot. Firstly, the safety: Mark my words, Ho Chi Minh is one of the safest cities here, and I’m not just talking from a female traveller’s perspective but also from the nature of the people. If you accidentally leave a belonging of yours, people will actually make an effort to find you and give it back to you.

What next? Oh, yes! The nightlife. So, if you’re a solo female traveller, you would want to enjoy the nightlife of a place but that too in safe surroundings, and Ho Chi Minh City is exactly that. Safe and amazing. The nightlife here is just out of this world, I found myself dancing in the streets with other members of my group at 3 AM. Club hopping and cafe hopping, we did it all and made the best of the night. 

Diving Into History

One of the places on our sightseeing tour in Hoi An was a visit to a jungle. A jungle? How ordinary? But, trust me, it wasn’t because in the jungle there were tunnels that the Vietnamese soldiers used to hide in and commute from one place to another during the war. 

A Taste Of French In Asia

I stood in the middle of the French Village in Da Nang, one of the best places in Vietnam, feeling like I had stepped back in time or into a storybook. Around me were old-fashioned European buildings painted in warm colours. It was quiet except for the soft chatter of visitors and the distant music that seemed to float on the breeze. 

Everything looked clean and well-kept, and the people I met were friendly, waving and smiling as they passed by. It was a peaceful pretty place that felt a world away from the Vietnam I knew.

What Won My Heart 

Next up, would be the markets. If you’re a shopper, you’re just going to love the country. From coffee to chocolates and from bags to shirts, you ask for it the markets in Vietnam have it all. Shopping in Vietnam is an experience which you just cannot miss. 

A Few Things To Keep In Mind

Firstly, the food situation. The restaurants in Vietnam offer some of the best food that you’re going to taste, but here’s the twist, there are not a lot of vegetarian options when it comes to Vietnamese food. Even if you get your hands on some veg food, you might not like the coconut oil that they use in almost everything. So, you have to be a bit flexible when it comes to food in Vietnam. 

Would I Recommend Vietnam To Other Travellers?
