Transformation of Ho Chi Minh City in 48 years since its renaming

Today, Ho Chi Minh City has been built on the foundation of a "civilized, modern and compassionate city." It is experiencing rapid growth in various fields, including the economy, tourism and culture, and is gradually becoming the economic locomotive of the country.

The following images depict the city's remarkable progress, worthy of the name Ho Chi Minh City.

Forty-eight years ago, the former Saigon-Gia Dinh City officially changed its name to Ho Chi Minh City.

Key transportation projects have been developed across the river, connecting to the city's center.

From a marshland in the southern part of Ho Chi Minh City, this area has been transformed into a model urban area, attracting many international residents and workers.

In the eastern part of the city, large real estate companies like Vingroup and Masterise have built numerous high-rise buildings to meet the housing demands.

The connection between different areas is facilitated by an integrated highway system.

Ho Chi Minh City is currently developing rapidly with modern and large-scale projects.

The city attracts a young and dynamic workforce.

Additionally, Ho Chi Minh City has earned the affection and trust of embassies, diplomatic missions and international organizations.

A unique feature of Ho Chi Minh City is that it continues to develop and expand while preserving historical architectures such as Ben Thanh Market, the City People's Committee headquarters and the Opera House.

Ho Chi Minh City is increasingly attracting international and domestic tourists.

Marking 48 years of transformation, Metro Line 1 will commence commercial operations by the end of this year.

As part of its urban development journey, Ho Chi Minh City is better positioned than other provinces to realize the dreams of becoming a "civilized - modern - compassionate" city.
