Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)

by kelnsha - last update: Aug 11, 2008

Around HCMC (Cu Chi tunnels & Cao Dai temple)

Cu Chi tunnel
A full day is required if you wish to visit these two places or alternatively, you can book a half day tour just to visit the Cu Chi tunnels (a must)!
Bin Tay market

Chinatown of HCMC, Cholon (District 5)

Well worth spending half a day or more to explore Bin Tay market (wholesale) and sample some excellent Chinese and Vietnamese food!
Pham Ngu Lao area

HCMC walking tour(Pham Ngu Lao & Dong Khoi area)

A 5 km walk will take you approximately 7 hours to cover the highly recommended 1 day walking tour around the city centre.

 Hi,Kelvin! Yes, I also went through that same tunnel at Cu Chi. I imagined how people spent their difficult time in such a narrow and dark places... Anyway I love HCMC and love to go there again soon!
