Ho Chi Minh City will be featured in a CNNGo program, which will be broadcast on March 11, CNN said on March 4.
CNNGo is a monthly 30-minute show featuring a unique take on global destinations, bringing views from genuine insiders on what gives dynamic cities in Asia and beyond their distinctive buzz, the cable news network said.
In this month’s show, CNNGo will take its viewers on a “journey around Ho Chi Minh City on the back of a bike with Vietnam Vespa Adventures which allows passengers to see snapshots of local life and tucked away hot spots.”
“The city is in the middle of balancing a growing economy with an intense desire to hold onto its history,” the city was described.

 
CNNGo will also meet up with local rapper Suboi, who proudly took the crew to her favorite places that have hints of old Saigon, including an incredible family-style meal at Cuc Gach Quan.
The show will also feature historian Tim Doling, who explains the changing face of Ho Chi Minh City and shows CNNGo a hidden part of history in the middle of the city.
Finally, CNNGo takes a quick trip down to the island of Con Dao, one of the newest tourist destinations in Vietnam.
“While the island may have a dark past with many revolutionaries imprisoned there during the French occupation, it also boasts breathtaking beaches,” CNNGo said about the destination.
