With a population of approximately 6 million, Saigon
is the largest city in Vietnam. The huge number of
people rushing about their daily business gives
Saigon a vital and dynamic atmosphere. Saigon is
characterised by a vast variety of sights and
sounds, from ancient pagodas, mosques and cathedrals
to the former Presidential Palace and the War
Museum, from historic Dong Khoi Street (the Rue
Catinat from Graham Greene's novel The Quiet
American) to the bustling markets of Ben Thanh and
Cholon (Chinatown). Much of the city life takes
place on the streets which are lined with stores,
shops, stalls and vendors with their wares spread
