2. Our journey begins at the Thich Quang Duc Memorial Monument in District 3, a poignant site where Thich Quang Duc famously self-immolated in 1963 to protest the South Vietnamese government's persecution of Buddhism. After paying our respects, we'll navigate through a bustling local wet market before arriving at the city's largest flower market. This vibrant marketplace, a hub for both wholesalers and retailers, is primarily stocked with beautiful blooms sourced from Sa Dec City in Dong Thap Province.   Next, we will visit the house at 287/70 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City there. This place once hid more than 2 tons of weapons of the Saigon Rangers during the war against America to save the country, especially during the General Offensive and Uprising in the Spring of Mau Than (1968). Today, the young generation and foreign tourists love to visit this secret weapons bunker in District 3 to learn more about the heroic fighting period of Vietnam's ancestors.

About Ho Chi Minhstad

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

District 1 herbergt de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand: de roodstenen Notre-Dame-kathedraal, het sierlijke Centrale Postkantoor met zijn gewelfde hal, het koloniale Operahuis en het rijk versierde Stadhuis. In het Onafhankelijkheidspaleis zijn de kamers bewaard zoals ze aan het einde van de oorlog waren, en het Museum van de Oorlogsresten vertelt het verhaal van het conflict met ontnuchterende openheid.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minhstad: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
