Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam and the city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River. Ho Chi Minh City is located in the Southeastern Region of Vietnam, 1,760 km south of Hanoi. The city covers an area of 2,095 km2. The city has a tropical climate. A year is divided into two distinct seasons: The rainy season, which usually begins in May and ends in late November. The dry season lasts from December to April. The average temperature is 280C, the highest temperature sometimes reaches 390C around noon in late April, while the lowest may fall below 160C in the early morning of late December.
Before French colonization, the Vietnamese name of the city was Gia Dinh. In 1862, the French discarded it and adopted “Saigon”, which has always been popular up to now. Today, the city’s core is still adorned with wide elegant boulevards and historic French colonial buildings. The most prominent structures in the city center are Reunification Hall, City Hall, Municipal Theater, Revolutionary Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral. With a population now exceeding 7 million, the city is the highest population-concentrated in the country. Ho Chi Minh City has attracted more and more immigrants from other Vietnamese provinces in recent years, so the city is in need of vast increase in public infrastructure. To meet this need, the city and central governments have embarked on an effort to develop new urban centers.
Ho Chi Minh City is the most important economic center in Vietnam. Some 300,000 businesses, including many large enterprises, are involved in high-tech, electronic, processing and light industries, also in construction and building materials. Currently, the city has 15 industrial parks and export-processing zones. There are 171 medium and large scale markets, tens of supermarket chains, dozens of luxury shopping malls and many modern fashion or beauty centers. Over 50 banks with hundreds of branches and about 20 insurance companies are situated inside the city.
There are only two distinct seasons in Ho Chi Minh City. They are ___________.
A.spring and summer
B.autumn and winter
C.spring and winter
D.the dry season and the rainy season
