My hometown is Tay Ninh. It used to be called Long An. It is located in the south of Ho Chi Minh City. It is crowded in the morning and evening because there are many companies nearby. After 8 p.m., it becomes quiet and peaceful. I love my hometown because I was born and raised there. Many of my friends still live here. Now I live in Ho Chi Minh City, but I visit my hometown whenever I have time.
