What to expect

  1. The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument
    30m
    The monument stands at the intersection where Thich Quang Duc, a Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhist monk, self-immolated on June 11, 1963. This was not a random act of despair, but a carefully planned and incredibly courageous protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government of President Ngo Dinh Diem. The Diem regime, which was Roman Catholic, had a history of discriminatory policies against the Buddhist majority.
  2. 30m
    Cheo Leo Cafe is more than just a place to get coffee; it's a cherished institution in Ho Chi Minh City, offering a nostalgic and authentic experience that sets it apart from the city's countless modern cafes
  3. Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings
    30m
    The specialness of the Nguyen Thien Thuat apartment area lies in its ability to be both a historical relic and a thriving, energetic community. It's a place where you can feel the pulse of old Saigon, witness authentic local life, and, of course, enjoy some of the city's best street food.
  4. The Secret Weapons Cellar
    30m
    The special thing about the "hầm vũ khí bí mật Sài Gòn" (Saigon Secret Weapons Cellar) isn't just its existence, but the incredibly daring, ingenious, and dangerous story behind it. These cellars, often hidden within seemingly ordinary homes, were vital to the Vietnamese struggle for independence.
  5. Ba Thien Hau Temple
    30m
    The Thien Hau Temple in Ho Chi Minh City's Cho Lon (Chinatown) district stands out for several special reasons that go beyond its beautiful architecture. It's a living and breathing cultural institution with deep roots.
  6. 30m
    Bánh Xèo Ngọc Sơn, located in Ho Chi Minh City's District 5, holds a special place in the city's culinary landscape for several reasons. While there are countless bánh xèo (sizzling pancake) places, Ngọc Sơn is renowned for a particular style and experience.
