Itinerary
You will be picked up at your hotel to start the tour at District 5, the Chinatown of the city, where you can enjoy hustling daily life of the people from both Vietnamese and Chinese roots, and distinctive Thien Hau pagoda.
Returning to the Museum of War Remnants to learn about an important and painful period of Vietnamese contemporary history.
After lunchtime with local foods (including “Pho”, the famous Viet noodle soup, or “Banh Xeo” traditional southern cake), you will reach the colonial quarter in District 1, the golden area of the town, to visit the Reunification Palace. It once witnessed the end of the Vietnam War and now serves as a Museum and a grand hall for government reception as well.
Not far from the Palace you will stop at the Notre Dame Cathedral, a center of Catholicism in Vietnam, and the graceful Post Office, still functional until now.
The trip ends at an XQ Embroidery workshop and Ben Thanh market to learn about the art of making embroidered crafts in Vietnam and shopping.
