  • Day 1 : Saigon from the past to dynamic present

    Meet your guide and driver at your hotel to embark on a unique day of sightseeing that spans the rich history of Ho Chi Minh City.

    Your visit begins in Chinatown, established in the 17th century, where Chinese immigrants once converged for trade and cultural exchange with the Vietnamese. We will visit Binh Tay Market, the bustling heart of the Chinese community, and their renowned Thien Hau Pagoda.

    Next, explore the "Old Saigon" area, which offers a glimpse into the lives of local residents from the past, many of that are still evident today. 
    On the route to the War Remnants Museum—an essential stop for history enthusiasts—stop to visit the monument of Thich Quang Duc, the monk who self-immolated in a poignant protest for religious freedom.

    In the afternoon, take time to stroll through the city center and witness the impressive development of this dynamic metropolis. Visit iconic architectural landmarks such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the City Post Office, and Nguyen Hue Walking Street.

    After a dilightfull day, come back to hotel for a rest. We highly recommend you take the opportunity to admire the city by night from one of the sky bars along the Saigon River.
