Day 01
Ho Chi Minh City Landmarks, Chợ Lớn and Saigon River
- Take the morning trip to visit Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, which was built on the site of the former Norodom Palace. The Independence Palace is a widely known landmark of Ho Chi Minh City and was designed by architect Ngo Viet Thu. Continue to see beautiful structures from the French colonial era, such as Notre Dame Cathedral and the historic Central Post Office. This is followed by the remarkable War Remnants Museum, which has a vast display related to both Indochina wars.
- Have lunch at a local restaurant.
- Continue the city tour in the afternoon by discovering the city's western side. Ride to Chợ Lớn (Big Market) and Thien Hau Pagoda, located in Chinatown. Continue to Bach Dang harbour. The boat will depart after check-in for the waterbus tickets and once you are settled in your seat. During the trip, you will have a unique view of some of the city's most typical commercial buildings, including the Vinhomes Central Park urban area, the magnificent Landmark 81 tower, the Bitexco Financial Tower, and the green, peaceful District 2. A lot of stunning moments are waiting for you. Try to discover the soul of this land - the Saigon River - by water bus; perhaps you will realize many miracles and gain a more accurate view of the land once called Paris of Indochina or the Pearl of the Far East.
- 17:00 pm: Transfer back to your hotel or meeting point. Finish the trip.
