Day 2 Saigon

Activities:

Sightseeing in Saigon and Cholon (Chinatown) (Full day) (8 Hours):

  • A vibrant metropolis, Saigon teems with energy, activity and motion. Everywhere you look, you see the convergence of traditional and modern life. The emerging modern skyline stands toe to toe with colonial buildings and traditional temples. Outside on the streets, young professionals zip by on motorbikes and chat on cell phones; inside the quiet temple courtyards, worshippers pray amidst clouds of incense.
  • Begin the tour of this exciting city with a tour of the historic centre, strolling along Dong Khoi Street, formerly known as the Rue Catinat, the main shopping thoroughfare and heart of old colonial Saigon.
  • Pass by classic European-style landmarks such as the ornate City Hall (Hotel DE Ville), the old Opera House (both may only be viewed from the outside), and pay a quick visit to the neo-Romanesque Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office.
  • Afterwards dive into modern history with a tour of the Reunification Palace. Formerly the Independence Palace of the South Vietnamese president, this 60s style building was famously stormed by tanks on April 30, 1975 signifying the fall of South Vietnam. It has been preserved in its original state, and the original tanks remain on display near the entrance gates.
  • Continue to the harrowing WAR RemnanTS Museum, which comprehensively documents the travails of the long Vietnam- American War. Inside are detailed photographic exhibitions; outside is a collection of tanks, planes and weapons. A powerful experience, this museum is guaranteed to provoke strong emotions.
  • Afterwards drive to the historic centre to visit Emperor OF Jade Pagoda, one of Saigon’s most interesting pagodas.
  • In the afternoon, head out to Cholon (Chinatown). Explore the highlights of this fascinating area, beginning with a walking tour from Tran Hung Dao Street through Nguyen Trai and Soai Kinh Lam market (cloth wholesale market), visit Cha Tam Church.
  • Continue to Thien HAU Pagoda, built by the Cantonese congregation and dedicated to the heavenly goddess.
  • End the tour at the central BEN Thanh Market, where vendors display a vast array of goods and handicrafts, appealing to every taste.

TIP OF THE DAY: Have a taste of Pho and Banh mi – two of the best street food items on the world.

Overnight: Saigon – (B)
