Synopsis

Ho Chi Minh City grew beside a tidal river, where Khmer landscapes, Gia Dinh administration, Chinese trade in Cho Lon, colonial power and successive wars formed a metropolis with more than one name. Its history remains present in markets, temples, alleyways, apartment blocks and waterways that continue to shape everyday life.

A Little Book of Ho Chi Minh City enters the city through forty concise, researched reflections. Follow the Saigon River from Ben Nghe to the old canal streets; read the layered stories of Binh Tay Market, Thien Hau Temple, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Central Post Office and Independence Palace. Sit down for ca phe sua da, com tam, hu tieu and banh mi; listen to don ca tai tu and cai luong; then move through hems, tube houses, motorbike traffic, restored canals and the city's first metro line.

Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is an intimate literary portrait rather than a conventional guidebook: a book about water, migration, memory and the practical art of continual reinvention.
