Hoogtepunten

Cho Lon is often introduced simply as Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown. This private four-hour walk goes further, using its assembly halls, temples, trading streets, food and everyday neighborhood life to understand how different Chinese communities helped shape this part of Saigon. Rather than moving through a checklist of landmarks, the walk connects what you see to migration, commerce, belief and community life. Your guide is trained specifically for this route and its historical and cultural context, and the private format leaves plenty of room for questions and conversation along the way. The route takes in some of Cho Lon's most important religious and community sites, busy trading streets, local snacks, a long-running neighborhood coffee stop and Binh Tay Market. It is designed for travelers who want to understand the area, not simply see its highlights.

Route

  1. Our tour starts at the front courtyard of Nghia An Assembly Hall. Also known by various names such as Quan De Temple and Ong Pagoda, Nghia An Assembly Hall holds great significance within the Teochew community. It serves not only as a vital place of worship for Teochew people in Saigon but also as a precious architectural and artistic masterpiece from the late 19th to the early 20th century. This temple venerates Quan Vu, a renowned figure from the Three Kingdoms period, who symbolizes talent and moral excellence for the Chinese, hence its alternate names Quan De Temple and Ong Pagoda.

About Ho Chi Minhstad

Ho Chi Minhstad, vaak nog Saigon genoemd, is het bruisende handelscentrum van Vietnam met Frans koloniaal erfgoed, oorlogsgeschiedenis en straatvoedsel.
