The largest city in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known famously as Saigon. Known for its dynamism, modernity, and electrifying atmosphere, Ho Chi Minh is truly a city that never sleeps. Without a doubt, this dynamism translates well to the screen. Not only that, but the city also doubles well for many other Asian locations. With local support for crew hires and equipment rentals, everything your production needs is available within this sprawling metropolis.
Further to the north is the more historic and quaint city of Hanoi. Home to an array of temples, parks, museums and historic districts, anyone with an eye for framing a shot will find inspiration in this location. Hanoi also gets cooler in the winter months, due to its subtropical latitude, so don’t forget to pack your jacket!
Talking about Vietnam without mentioning Ha Long Bay, home to nearly 2,000 islands (only 40 of which are inhabited) would be incomplete. In this UNESCO world heritage site, visiting filmmakers are able to turn their cameras on some of the world’s most stupendous limestone cliffs and island scenery.
