COMPARE AND CONTRAST 2 CITIES

Vietnam, my beautiful country, has 63 provinces in total. Among them, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city are

two big and modern cities with their unique features. Beside some striking similarities, they also differ each

other in several aspects.

One of the most remarkable similarities is both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city are two central cities which

keep a significant role in cultural and economic prosperity of Vietnam. Hanoi is regarded as a political and

cultural center of Vietnam with its historic tradition. Thus, there are a large number of important conferences

and festivals organized annually here. Similarly, Ho Chi Minh is a most big commercial center of Vietnam,

which appeals to huge investment from a number of foreign enterprises as well as multinational corporations

in the world. Another common side is that both cities are renowned for splendid landscapes. Hanoi stands out

with ancient places such as Guom Lake, Ho Chi Minh mausoleum,.. etc, and Duc Ba church and Nha Rong

habour are all unique pride in Ho Chi Minh city. All these places are tourist attractions that lure the

considerable number of visitos every year.

On the other hand, there are several differences between two cities Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city. Firstly, it

is weather condition. Hanoi’s weather condition seems to be hasher than Ho Chi Minh city’s . It is probably as

Hanoi has a severe season, the winter, in which the temperature is quite low and it’s extremely freezing with

strong wind, whereas in Ho Chi Minh, sunny and rainy seasons are two distinct seasons here. The lifestyle of

inhabitants also makes a contribution to differences of both cities. Hanoi people are inclined to lead a slow,

enconomical life compared to Ho Chi Minh ones who tend to live in a generous and pretty wasteful way.

All in all, both cities , Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city, are woth-living cities regardless of some their similar

and different sides.
