Read 23 Things to do in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: FREE eBook: When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City, along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnams largest and most exciting city. 1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if youre looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City. 2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple. 3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam. 4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city. 5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. 6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit. 7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. Its a beautiful building. 8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, its a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war. 9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available. 10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon. 11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city. 12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational. 13. San Art Laboratory If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon. 14.

Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around. 17.

I had a bit of a stink eye towards vietnam because they were a communist north that invaded the south, meanwhile the whole point of the revolution against the french was to free the country, not split it in 2. They were communist because the communists werre the only ones to help, for their own selfish gains, and to use vietnam as a show of force to scare the west and capitalists and a battlefield they could fight on outside their own country. Meanwhile, vietnam was never meant to be communist. Ho Chi Min wasnt a 'communist'he was a man who wanted his country and his people free from the torturous colonialists, he did what he had to, and as far as communists were in that time, he was the best example, he should've been 'our' communist (though he was really a socialist more than a communist) He wasnt like the chinese and ussr communists, he was different, a decent guy that truly impressed me with his back story. Live long Vietnam, the memory Ho Chi Mihn left is truly an honourable one.

After the WW 2, the Chinese Communists built up one Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to expel all Westerners (French, Englishman, American ) from Asia, and finally they successfully sacrificed the Vietnamese blood to push the last American out of Vietnam. Now as a big nation, China are so easy to occupy Tibet and expand to the whole South China Sea to control this international sea traffic with many sea resources. Why did the current Vietnamese not realize this Chinese ambition? and restore the previous name SAIGON instead of the name of their bloody traitor HCM?

Last year and the last weekend of Dec, 2018, I went to Ho Chin Minh city alone, but my christian friends only brought me to only a few place that you had shown in your video. I know that I must have miss many other place to visit there as I had also check and do some research for such place before I arrived there but arrived there I was afraid to avenge there on my own and not much time for me to do so. Hope if I travel there again will do more place visiting that mention in your video.

Vietnam and Thailand are very similar, people are warm and genuine, food are fresh not chemically processed unlike CHINA in many ways. Interesting video, i also like the way you carried your backpack at the front, HAHA, you know what i mean? Please mention price for food, as some would be interest in the living expenses as well.

Sorry, but read this: The Saigon Central Post Office was constructed from 1886-1891 and depicts classic elements of Gothic, Renaissance and French colonial design. While some mistakenly credit Gustave Eiffel, the famed designer of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it was actually designed by French architect Alfred Foulhoux.

I've been to hcmc and I can tell you for a fact that the food is disgusting (usually cooked in dirty water on the side of the road and will definitely give you the shits) and the people are only out to rip you off. The best thing you can do is leave as quickly as possible. Don't believe shithead YouTubers with gopros.
