It's normal if someone think HCMC is vietnamese Capital because maybe they have heard a lot about the city, depend on the purpose and how long is your trip, so you would have different experience there.
Why do you have to travel to this city?
If you google " Ho Chi Minh city" you would maybe understand why. In fact, it's much more than what you have seen and heard about that. What you need is having enough time there, why? it's 2061km2 and no way everywhere is the same, no! In the central of the city, you can see a lot of buildings which are relevant to vietnamese history, they're just beautiful and do not make you dissappointed!

Tan Dinh church- Street foods in this area are yummy, special and cheap ( but not cheapest food in VN)

Duc Ba church is completed in 1880s and located right in the middle of the central where is located of a lot of shopping mall, coffeeshop and everything .

Saigon central post office was constructed between 1886-1891
One of the best things in this city is street food, i quite sure that you also have heard about vietnamese street food a lot and again, what you have heard is not enough! 4 days for trying street there maybe too short, i mean if you try 3 times a day or more, to be honestly, i have been there 4 years but still not can try all of the foods, so you can understand and know what im saying about then. The price of the food would make you also be surprised, just so cheap, just only with 2 dollar you can have a GOOD meal , that's means A LOT of food under 2 dollar( tell me if you want to know more about 2 dollar meal in this city) but dont forget ask the price before you order something, you must to do it!

Try to search #vietnamesefood in instagram then you can see.
I don't know if this thing make you surprised or not but in this city everything is better at night, it's like you wear cool clothes to go out with your freind at night, this city do like that also, just different but im really good way.
After you have some food, how about check out some cooffeeshop? well, i have to tell you this crazy point is why this city have that much coffeeshop? why? i dont know, hmmm maybe Vietnamese like to sit down a nice place to drink something or just because they like to take a photo, so that's why all of the cooffeeshop there are so pretty, if you're not in a cityside, you can find a coffee shop every 10m, yes! that's closed! ohh i almost forget, you must try milktea there, belive me that's is amazing!
