Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnamese: Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh), commonly known as Saigon (Vietnamese: Sài Gòn) or by the abbreviations HCMC or Tp HCM, is the largest city in Vietnam.

It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. It is known to all of its inhabitants as Saigon (or Sài Gòn) — although the name Ho Chi Minh City is the official name it is mostly used by northern Vietnamese and not by the Saigon people themselves.
