"Ho Chi Minh - A must see place for all backpackers" Ho Chi Minh City by mellisa_o

There are several places that have to be visited when you go to HCMC. They are War Remnant Museum, The Notre Dame, General Post Office, and Reunification Palace. With a half day only that's the best I can do :p

Going inside Chu Chi Tunnel

This Tunnel was built and used by Viet Cong in Vietnam War. The tunnel is marvellous but it's too small; no wonder American soldiers was beaten by them. Here I bought a snake wine as a souvenir.

The making of Rice Caramel

Mekong Delta was a place to see rural life in Vietnam. Here you can see floating market, the making of rice paper, the making of Rice Caramel, the making of coconut candies.

• Pros:Everything here is still affordable
• Cons:Piracy here has gone too far at the point of copycating books
• In a nutshell:A Lively City
