It’s has been 15 years since I last visited this Vietnam capital and so much have changed since then. It is more commercialized now, but the city still do have its old world charm.
1) Visit a coffee shop…

2) Learn how to cook Vietnamese dish
Vietnamese dishes uses a lot of spices and wonderfully delicious so it is definitely worth it to learn!
3) Mong Bridge
This 100 year old in Ho chi Minh is a great place to watch the sunset. If you have more time, walk along the Saigon river for more surprises…
4) Visit a chic cafe at the cafe apartment
The Cafe Apartment which used to house officials has been converted into a building of cafes. A lot of young people hang out there and it’s a great place to watch the crowd at this pedestrian street call Nguyen Hue Street. A broad walking promenade in the middle of District 1 city centre, this pedestrian area is flanked by some beautiful French colonial architectural wonders like the People’s Comittee, the Rex Hotel and a luxury shopping mall. In front of the People’s Committee you find a statue of Ho Chi Minh and a fountain show by night.
5) Roam around everywhere
Ho Chi Minh has a lot buildings like schools with the French design influence infused with Chinese architecture. You never know what you will see.
6) Prawn fishing
Catch and cook your fresh prawns! I must admit I didn’t had time to go for this but my friends love this activity and very cheap too!
Enjoy yourself in Ho Chi Minh and stay safe!
