Pham Ngu Lao
When it comes to Ho Chi Minh City, no one is unaware of Pham Ngu Lao. Named after the Vietnamese national hero Pham Ngu Lao, the old street is just an ordinary road. What we commonly refer to as the old street is actually an area comprising Pham Ngu Lao and several surrounding roads, a paradise for backpackers. Here, the streets crisscross, with hotels of various grades and budget hostels scattered throughout the neighborhood. Along the roadside, you'll find a wide array of travel agencies, foreign currency redemption locations, restaurants of diverse cuisines, Western eateries, bars, cafes, and shops selling local specialty products—everything you could need. This is the old quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, where the daily life of ordinary people unfolds vividly before your eyes. Travelers of all skin colors can be seen here—some carrying backpacks while searching for accommodation on the streets, others strolling around after setting down their packs, and still others capturing the moment with their cameras. In short, every expression of a backpacker you'd hope to see can be found here. Meal Restaurants from around the world offer a rich variety of flavors. Here you can taste local snacks, and the delicious food from nearby street stalls is no less impressive than that of upscale restaurants. No wonder this place never sleeps—you can always find something tasty even in the middle of the night. You can try the coconut milkshake at Allez Boo, a blend of coconut juice, ice cubes, and milk, and even scoop out the coconut flesh with a small spoon. Alternatively, head to the eatery at the end of the old street for a bowl of beef meatball rice noodles paired with iced coffee—the unique taste is something only you can experience. Or, order a steamed beer crab at some obscure little shop; its thick, tender meat practically melts in your mouth, with an intoxicatingly fresh and sweet flavor. Don't miss the roadside rice skin snacks, available in various flavors—crispy and delicious. And for the girls, there's a variety of ice creams to enjoy, perfectly complemented by tropical fruits. Nightlife The midnight in the old quarter is even more brilliant with lights, and the night is enchanting. The shops on the old street are also the main shopping spots in Ho Chi Minh City. There are many tourist crafts here, allowing you to stroll slowly at night and carefully pick. At night, many sleepless backpackers come out to wander, looking for cafes, snack shops, and juice stalls, making it very lively.Ho Chi Minh City · 39.6 km from Trang Bom

Saigon Central Post Office
The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is a French colonial post office built in the 19th century. The exterior of the Post Office resembles an elaborate train station. Wherever you look, everything is intricately designed and decorated. The dates of the Post Office's construction (1886-1891) are inscribed beneath the large clock over the main entrance. Walk into the Post Office and you'll find a spacious lobby with a classically arching ceiling, round windows, hanging chandeliers, and stunningly gorgeous wall lamps, among other decorative features. Beneath the old map on the wall, there are classic phone booths from which you can make international calls. While visiting the Central Post Office, consider mailing a postcard home.Ho Chi Minh City · 38.2 km from Trang Bom

The entire building features French colonial style, while stepping inside reveals a bustling local atmosphere: fabrics, ready-to-wear clothing, ao dai, handicrafts like wood carvings, lacquerware, and embroidered wallets, as well as Vietnamese specialties like coffee beans, dried fruits, and fish sauce, can all be found in various sections, making it perfect for browsing and shopping at a leisurely pace. For authentic Vietnamese flavors, head toward the market's north gate, where food stalls serving pho, broken rice, and various desserts are concentrated.

Tan Dinh Church is a Catholic church from the French colonial period that still stands in Ho Chi Minh City. Completed in 1876 and painted pink since 1957, it has earned the nickname "Pink Church" and is a landmark that many tourists make a special trip to visit in Ho Chi Minh City. The church's architecture is primarily Neo-Romanesque, blending Neo-Gothic and Renaissance elements: the main tower in the center of the facade is over 50 m high, with a copper cross approx. 3 m tall at the top. The five bronze bells in the bell tower weigh over 5 tons in total, and the side towers are adorned with symmetrical rose windows. The interior continues the pink theme, with strawberry-pink and creamy-white walls, and two rows of Gothic stone pillars leading to the main altar made of Italian marble, which is considered a highly representative decoration among churches in Saigon.Ho Chi Minh City · 38.6 km from Trang Bom
Bui Vien
The area surrounding Bui Vien is known as the foreigner street due to the year-round presence of travelers from around the world. Walking down this street, you can often hear English, Korean, Japanese, and many other languages, making it feel like a small United Nations. Restaurants and street stalls along the street offer everything from pho and banh mi to Indian food, Thai cuisine, and Middle Eastern kebabs, with the scents of fish sauce, curry, and spices lingering in the air. After dark, the signs of bars and beer houses light up one by one, and the sounds of voices and music rise and fall. Even after midnight, the street remains crowded, and many backpackers arriving in Vietnam for the first time use this place as their starting point for settling in and experiencing the nightlife. In August 2017, the renovated street officially opened. A welcome gate shaped like a conical hat was erected at the entrance, and a stage for artistic performances was set up, where modern music, folk dances, and street performances are often featured during festivals and weekends.Ho Chi Minh City · 39.7 km from Trang Bom
Nha Trang beach
Nha Trang beach is the main city beach stretching alongTran Phu Street, extending for approx. 7 km, and facing Nha Trang Bay. There are 19 islands in the bay that block waves from the open sea, making the nearshore water relatively calm and clear. The coastal promenade next to the beach is lined with coconut trees, and the hedges are trimmed into various shapes. In the early morning, residents often run, exercise, or swim directly in the sea on the beach; in the evening, many people also stroll along the promenade, waiting for the sunset over the sea. During the day, you can rent a lounge chair to sunbathe, or go swimming or play beach volleyball. Along the coastal boulevard, there are many restaurants and stalls serving fresh seafood, where you can taste local specialties such as lobster, grilled squid, and fish cake noodle soup. Standing by the beach is the Tram Huong Tower, shaped like an agarwood bud, which is a landmark of the Nha Trang waterfront.Vietnam · Nha Trang
People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City
This is the full name of the Ho Chi Minh People's Committee Hall. It is a building with a strong French style. It was built in 1902 and completed in 1908. The city hall has only two floors, with simple lines, red roof and yellow exterior walls, which are particularly bright against the blue sky and white clouds. The building is lively and lively in design, and its details are exquisitely decorated. Sculptures with Western mythological figures and French heroes as the main themes are all over the pillars, door frames, eaves and other parts. Since it is an office, it is not open to tourists, but there is a small square garden in front of the city hall. In the center of the garden is a statue of Ho Chi Minh holding a little girl. Ho Chi Minh was never married and had no children. This statue symbolizes that Ho Chi Minh regarded Vietnamese as his sons and daughters and devoted his whole life without any regrets. Many tourists take photos with the statue and the city hall in the background. At night, the bright lights will be turned on here, which is one of the classic night scenes of Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, there are many vendors selling origami and other gadgets and fruit around the city hall, which is very lively.Ho Chi Minh City · 38.3 km from Trang Bom

On the garden square in front of the church, there stands a 4-ton Virgin Mary statue which was given as a gift from the Church in Rome in 1945. If, by chance, you happen to visit while Mass is going on, you can quietly enter the church to feel the pious religious atmosphere.Ho Chi Minh City · 38.3 km from Trang Bom

Ben Thanh Market is a lively and colorful place to experience the local atmosphere of Ho Chi Minh City. I enjoyed walking through the busy stalls selling souvenirs, clothes, coffee, spices, and Vietnamese food. The market can be crowded, but that is part of its charm. It is a great place to try local snacks, shop for gifts, and experience the energetic spirit of Saigon.

The Tan Dinh Church, with its entirely pink exterior, is known as the "Pink Church" and is a famous Instagrammable spot in Ho Chi Minh City. The architecture blends Gothic, Romanesque, and Renaissance styles, and its soaring bell tower, spires, and arches retain a strong French flair.

Bui Vien is the pulse of Saigon’s nightlife! The energy is electric, with bright lights and loud music everywhere. It is a bit chaotic but so much fun for people-watching. If you love a vibrant, messy, and exciting atmosphere, do not miss it!

It's been a long time since I've had such a comfortable hotel. Every smiling face was like a gentle spring breeze, and the atmosphere of being respected felt natural. The bedding was comfortable, the service was attentive, and there wasn't a single unpleasant experience. I would definitely come back after my stay.
