Je l'ai déjà été !Explora el fascinante pasado de Ho Chi Minh City y descubre cómo se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos.
Originally a small fishing village called Prey Nokor, inhabited by indigenous communities and under the influence of Khmer kingdoms, the area was a strategic point in the Mekong Delta. Its location facilitated initial development as a trading and fishing settlement in southern Vietnam.
During French colonization, the town was transformed into Saigon, the capital of French Indochina, developing with elegant boulevards and European architecture. In the 20th century, Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam and the central theater of the Vietnam War, with accelerated urban growth and significant modernization.
After the fall of Saigon in 1975, the city was renamed Ho Chi Minh City and became the country's economic engine. In recent decades, it has experienced rapid urban development, with infrastructure expansion, population growth and consolidation as a financial and cultural center in Southeast Asia.
