Saigon still exists, much as the City of London still exists, but it is only a portion of the urban area now. Ho Chi Minh City is actually a regional, or provincial, authority, covering an area far larger than the urban area itself.

Old Saigon has morphed into new HCM. As Vietnam moves into greater economic prosperity, the urban expansion of the country's largest city has been explosive. Saigon still exists, much as the City of London still exists, but it is only a portion of the urban area now. Ho Chi Minh City is actually a regional, or provincial, authority, covering an area far larger than the urban area itself.
On this new edition of HCM, ITMB have introduced a new map on the reverse side of the city map to cover the entire region of southern Vietnam centred by the city. This offers users a real advantage, in that the city map itself, useful though it may be, does not meet all of the needs of tourists by itself.
Most visitors to HCM also want to see the Cao Dai religious centre in nearby Tay Ninh, or spend time at the seaside resort of Vung Tau, or explore the various tributaries of the Mekong River. Thus, the regional map is a significant improvement to the city map, and brings this title into line with their other Vietnamese city maps, Hue Region and Hanoi and Region.

Gloss Laminate
Gloss laminate makes colours look more vibrant and stand out more, but is quite shiny (reflective). If you’re planning on using a marker of any sort, this is a better choice because it’s easier to clean. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Matte Laminate
Matte laminate has a smooth, non-reflective, very classy looking surface. I wouldn’t say it dulls colours, but it doesn’t make them ‘pop’ (I hate that I just used that word) in the way that gloss does. Matte can be drawn on with pencil (and erased), but is harder to clean if you use markers. Your print will be fully encapsulated (so laminated on both sides) in durable 80 micron laminate and will last you a lot longer than plain paper.
Canvas
Everything looks better on canvas! Something about the texture really makes prints look wonderful. It is quite expensive though. We use a very high quality 340gsm artistic matte canvas. Your canvas print will come rolled with a roughly 50mm white border to allow you to have it stretched or mounted however you wish.
