Differences between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City is very different to Hanoi, culturally, historically and architecturally. Hanoi was established a lot earlier (in the 11th Century) than Ho Chi Minh City, which was established in the 17th Century. Ho Chi Minh City has also been more strongly influenced by French culture.

French Influence on Ho Chi Minh City

During the period when Vietnam was part of French Indo-China up to 10% of the city’s residents were French nationals. The French colonialists commissioned lots of European style buildings in Ho Chi Minh City and the cultural influence is evident in the city’s cuisine, most famously in the the banh mi sandwich which is traditionally made from french style bread with pate as a base for more South East Asian style fillings.

District 1

Pham Ngu Lao has many budget hotels, as well as restaurants and bars, which cater to the tastes of foreign visitors and stay open much later than most restaurants catering solely to a local clientele.

Ho Chi Minh City is proud of its colonial era architecture which is its top tourist attraction.

Tao Dan Park

For somewhere much more traditionally Vietnamese we recommend a visit to Tao Dan Park. Tao Dan Market is the city’s largest park and full of interesting statues and monuments. Local people make good use of the park for recreation and older men famously spend time in the park’s tea houses comparing collections of caged song birds.
