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.
