The Mekong Delta is brimming with rivers and creeks, exuding a cool and refreshing atmosphere. You can take a boat trip to explore the local life and how folks make their living on the water. This region is also known for skillful handicrafts from coconuts.

This tunnel had saved thousands of lives during fierce combats and devastating bomb attacks. Walking in the tunnel feels like a walk down history lane, seeing the bloodshed scene come to life and admiring the courage and patriotism of the Vietnamese people.
We will take you back to the hotel in the afternoon. You have a free night to explore the city or simply have some me-time in your room.

Our next stop is the Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon, which has an impressive Gothic and neo-Romanesque design. This cathedral is a hotspot where young shutters take countless awe-inspiring photos. Only a stone away from the cathedral is the Central Post Office, another French-style building. Then, we will visit the War Remnants Museum before going to China Town in District 5.
In this town, you can savor a diverse fusion of Vietnamese-Chinese cuisines. Of course, we can’t miss out on the oldest Thien Hau Temple and Jade Emperor Pagoda. Finally, let’s head to Sai Gon Square and Ben Thanh Market to do some shopping therapy. These are two crowded trading hubs in the city, where you can blend in the colorful cultural tapestry.
