3. In the verdant expanse of the Mekong Delta, traditional Vietnamese cuisine takes on a character all its own, reflecting the fertile land and abundant waterways that define this region. Here, iconic dishes like spring rolls, banh xeo (pancake), and deep-fried elephant ear fish are celebrated for their freshness and authenticity. Spring rolls, locally known as goi cuon, burst with the flavors of the Delta's bounty, as they are often filled with freshly caught shrimp, fragrant herbs like basil and mint, and crisp vegetables sourced from the delta's fertile soil. Banh xeo, the sizzling pancake, showcases the Delta's rice fields with its golden hue, while its filling may feature local treasures such as river prawns, pork, and bean sprouts.

Cidade de Ho Chi Minh, ainda chamada Saigon, é o animado polo comercial do Vietname: edifícios coloniais, história de guerra e comida de rua.

O Distrito 1 reúne as principais atrações a pé: a Catedral de Notre-Dame em tijolo vermelho, a elegante Estação Central dos Correios com a sua sala abobadada, a Ópera colonial e a ornamentada Câmara Municipal. O Palácio da Independência conserva as suas salas como estavam no fim da guerra, e o Museu dos Vestígios da Guerra conta a história do conflito com uma franqueza que dá que pensar.
