Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are both regarded as the two largest and most well-

known cities of Vietnam. Both of them have variety of typical differences and
similar points as well. Discussed below are the comparation of these two massive
cities.
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the largest city in the northern half of the
country. With a population just under 8 million, it is a chaotic city with a
surprisingly charming layer of grime, boasting plenty of museums and more than
enough government presence. Hanoi has a somewhat seasonal climate, usually hot
with a few months that can bring a startling chill for the unprepared traveler. The
capital has the advantage when it comes to street food, prices and ease of finding
food. You do not have to go far to find fantastic local food in Hanoi. For example,
in Old Quarter Hanoi, sandwiched between the endless street market of fresh
produce and recently deceased animals are food stalls, restaurants or even a few
plastic chairs around a frying pan.
Ho Chi Minh City may not be the center of politics, but it is the financial center.
With an unofficial population usually quoted around the 11-12 million mark, the
city is growing larger and wealthier, evidenced by shiny new skyscrapers and
towering cranes adding to the skyline each day. The city is hot as hell year-round
with food for any appetite.This city is home to smiling people and a great
launching point for a Southeast Asian wandering. Moreover, this place also
consists of various good points in culinary. The western influence in the southern
megacity brings international demands for new and different cuisine. The city
center, with no shortage of local restaurants, has plenty of other options to offer.
Restaurant varieties include pizza, American BBQ, Sushi, Cajun and Korean, to
name a few.
In conclusion, the above-mentioned facts are several prominent differences and
simiarities of these two cities. However, there may be other points that i have not
mentioned. Everyone should have further consideraiton.
