The city originated as a fishing village named Prey Nokor before becoming a French colony in 1859, later evolving into the largest metropolitan area in Vietnam.
The Notre Dame Cathedral, Independence Palace, and War Remnants Museum represent different periods of history, attracting thousands of visitors each month.
District 1 contains many hotels, restaurants, and transportation hubs, making it a central location for visitors to explore the surrounding districts.
