Full Tour Description

Vibrating with energy, innovation and traffic - lots of traffic - Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is the economic heart of Vietnam and the main hub of the southern region. A freewheeling, cosmopolitan metropolis, HCMC's dynamic cityscape draws together old and new Vietnam in the most compact of spaces, representing the city's past as well as its future.

•  Ben Thanh market: This market was built in 1914, and also the first must-see attraction for tourist to take many lively pictures of local market activities. You can find out many things over there: kitchen equipments, souvenirs, garments, foods, fruits, etc.
•  Saigon Notre Dame Basilica: This beautiful basilica was designed in the 1870s by J.Bourad (French architect) with the special neo-Romanesque architecture and materials imported from France. It is also called as “Saigon church” or “Virgin Mary church” and a favorite place for local couples to take pre-wedding photo shot.
• Saigon Central Post Office: Its architecture will surprise you at the first time. Built in 1891, and not designed and constructed by Gustave Eiffel (who designed the famous Eiffel Tower) but Alfred Foulhoux.
•  War Remnants Museum And Reunification Palace: Visit War Museum if you are a history lover to know more about the American war in Vietnam. Reunification Palace is a landmark of Saigon for its history and architecture values.
•  Jade Emperor Pagoda: Built in 1909 by the Chinese community, it’s the most impressive spiritual place for local worshippers to pray for their career or love, especially for having babies. Visit here is a great chance for you to discover the real Asian worship culture.
