• Binh Tay Market - Nestled in Chinatown (Cho Lon), Binh Tay Market is a lively and historic marketplace in Ho Chi Minh City. With a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, the market acts as a vibrant center of commerce and cultural exchange. Within its bustling halls, visitors can explore a diverse array of products including fresh produce, spices, textiles, handicrafts, and more, immersing themselves in the lively atmosphere of this iconic market.
  The market was constructed by the French colonial administration to replace the older and smaller Cho Lon Market, which was destroyed in a fire. Binh Tay Market quickly became a thriving commercial center, serving as a vital trading hub for Chinese merchants and the local Vietnamese population.

Over the years, the market has undergone significant transformations. However, it was rebuilt and continues to thrive today, attracting both locals and tourists alike. It remains an essential part of the city’s cultural heritage, offering a diverse array of products.

• Ba Thien Hau Temple - This beautiful 19th-century temple is dedicated to the goddess Thien Hau and consistently draws a mix of worshippers and visitors, who gather beneath the large coils of incense suspended overhead. It is believed that Thien Hau can travel over the oceans on a mat and ride the clouds to rescue people in distress on the high seas.

Intricate ceramic friezes adorn the roofline of the interior courtyard, while the protectors of the pagoda are said to be two land turtles residing there. Near the large braziers stand two miniature wooden structures in which a small figure of Thien Hau is paraded around nearby streets on the 23rd day of the third lunar month.

On the main dais are three figures of Thien Hau, one behind the other, all flanked by two servants or guardians. To the right is a scale-model boat and on the far right is the Goddess Long Mau, Protector of Mothers and Newborns.
Visiting this temple offers a chance to explore a part of the local culture of an ethnic minority.

• The Independence Palace - Surrounded by royal palm trees, the distinctive 1960s architecture of this landmark government building and the eerie ambiance of its deserted halls make it a fascinating spectacle. The first Communist tanks to arrive in Saigon rolled in here on April 30, 1975, and it seems as if time has stood still since then. The building is deeply associated with the fall of the city in 1975, yet it’s the kitsch detailing and period motifs that capture attention. It’s also known as the Independence Palace.
  The building was named Independence Palace and was home to the succeeding South Vietnamese president, Nguyen Van Thieu, until his hasty departure in 1975. Designed by Paris-trained Vietnamese architect Ngo Viet Thu, it is an outstanding example of 1960s architecture, with an airy and open atmosphere.
  The Reunification Palace, also known as Independence Palace, is a landmark building located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. It is recognized as a must-see National Monument when visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
• Vietnam Lacquerware - The lacquer itself is actually the resin of a tree, mixed with colored pigments and solvents, and applied layer after layer to the object’s surface, producing a shiny and durable finish. Eggshell and mother of pearl may be applied to the surface before the lacquer is applied, with the finished product being sanded down to reveal the decoration beneath.

The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, notably those of Phu Tho, was a crucial factor in the rapid development of this art form during the feudal period.
Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays (1428-1527) can still be seen at many temples and pagodas.

In subsequent centuries, the use of lacquerware extended to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables.

Since that time, lacquerware has continued to develop into one of the mainstays of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both domestically and internationally. Today’s most popular items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays, and vertical blinds.

• War Remnants Museum - Established on September 4, 1975, The War Remnants Museum is a member of the International Network of Museums for Peace (INMP) and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

Throughout the year, a wide range of activities are organized, including conferences, meetings with war witnesses, and temporary and itinerant exhibitions. With nearly one million domestic and international visitors per year, The War Remnants Museum is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most captivating cultural and tourist sites.

• PHỞ 24 - 158D PASTEUR - Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, noodles, meat, and fresh herbs. Its unique flavor is achieved by simmering beef and chicken bones, along with various spices, for hours until the taste is just right.

The history of pho begins at the end of the 19th century, at the peak of French colonialism. French demand led to a greater availability of beef in Vietnam, resulting in a surplus of beef bones.

From the early hours, pho stalls set up shop along the sidewalks. Shrouded in clouds of steam, the cook assembles each bowl to order. Boiling broth is poured over a bed of soft rice noodles and sliced meat, topped with a handful of chopped herbs and chives. Each diner customizes their bowl to taste, with squeezes of lemon, slices of red chili, sprigs of basil, and dabs of hoisin sauce. It’s an experience no visit to Vietnam is complete without.

Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls are a popular and delicious appetizer and tasty morsels.

• Central Post Office - The city’s landmark French-era post office is a period classic, designed by Marie-Alfred Foulhoux (though often credited to Gustave Eiffel) and built between 1886 and 1891. A mosaic of Ho Chi Minh takes pride of place at the end of its barrel-vaulted hall.

The post office features a unique, bright yellow exterior framed with white trim. Curved windows are elegantly framed with green shutters, and a large clock is prominently displayed at the building’s main entrance. The stunning, spacious interior has tall, domed ceilings with metal arches and a gorgeous patterned tile floor. There are two painted maps inside the office – Lignes télégraphiques du Sud Vietnamet du Cambodge 1892 (Telegraphic lines of southern Vietnam and Cambodia 1892) depicts the postal route from southern Vietnam to Cambodia, and on the right side of the building is Saigon et ses environs, 1892 (Saigon and its surroundings), a local map.
