One
of Asia’s most vibrant and welcoming cities, Saigon (as it is still
popularly known) is a cultural melting pot with something to offer
every traveler. Join Vietnam Today Travel to discover the many faces of
this city - our home in South East Asia.
District 1 is the best
place to start with its many historic French-built landmarks - the
Opera House, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Hotel de Ville to name but a
few. We visit the remarkable Cu Chi Tunnels where the Viet Cong hid
during the Vietnam-American War, the former Presidential Palace, and
the sobering War Remnants Museum. We’ll introduce you to the enormous
variety of exotic local produce at the sprawling Binh Tay Market in
Cholon, the city’s bustling Chinatown, and nearby the colorful Thien
Hau Pagoda. Visiting Saigon while it passes through a remarkable and
rapid phase of transformation will fascinate and delight. Above all,
experiencing the heartfelt warmth and humour for which the Saigonese
are renowned will stay with you long after you’ve departed for home.
In
recent years Ho Chi Minh City has transformed into a city offering
visitors a fantastic abundance of shopping, dining and nightlife.
Explore the many new shops and boutiques of a rejuvenated Dong Khoi
Street - the famous Rue Catinat of the French elite in the colonial era
- where fine silks and tailored clothes, hilltribe crafts, Vietnamese
antiques, ceramics and embroideries vie for the attention of visitors.
Or take a browse through nearby streets and the central Ben Thanh
Markets for imitation designer labels and modern fashions, jewelry,
CDs, luggage, and an array of local products - all amazingly cheap.
Finish the day with a Vietnamese feast at one of our favorite
restaurants, or perhaps try one of the city’s delectable French or
Western eateries. There’s a gastronomic treat awaiting every taste bud
and every budget. And if you’re in the mood for a boogie, party on at a
city bar or nightclub - Metropolis, Monaco, or the infamous Apocalypse
Now are a must.
