If it is the first time you have
come to Ho Chi Minh City to experience culture and lifestyles as natives of
this great city, you should check out the some places mentioned below in order
to have a good preparation for you trip.
1. Strolling around night markets
Ho Thi Ky Flower Market and Vo
Thanh Trang Market are perfect places for those wanting to get a broader
picture of night life in HCM City.
Ho Thi Ky, the city’s largest wholesale
flower market, is home to more than 100 households selling hundreds of kinds of
flowers in vivid colors. It operates round the clock and its busiest time is
from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. with dozens of trucks carrying tons of fresh flowers to
the market for delivery to sellers there.
Vo Thanh Trang Market on Truong
Chinh Street in Tan Binh District is known as the only traditional wet market
in the city that is open day and night for nearly half a century. Like Ho Thi
Ky, goods are delivered during the small hours. From 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., trading
activities turn very active.
2. Discovering The Chinese
Vietnamese Community
The Chinese Vietnamese community has been in
existence for more than a century in HCM City since the first Chinese
immigrants arrived there in the late 19th century. However, they have kept
cultural and religious values almost unchanged. Touring District 5, visitors
can see major landmarks characterized by Chinese culture.
Binh Tay Market, the Lady Thien
Hau Temple, Hao Si Phuong Alley, Soai Kinh Lam fabric market, Minh Huong
Pagoda, and Ha Chuong Communal Club should be among the venues recommended for
tourists interested in discovering how the Chinese people have preserved their
cultural and spiritual traits.
3. Traveling back in time at Ho
Chi Minh City Museum
Situated next to the
Reunification Palace, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum, formerly Gia Long Palace,
was constructed in the late 19th century on 1,700 meters. With impressive
architecture, the museum tells a story about the 300-year-old city through
archaeological artefacts, ceramics, old city maps and displays of marriage
traditions of various ethnic groups. This would be an ideal place for those
wishing to learn about HCM City and Viet Nam.
4. Sipping coffee in the morning
Some places such as Vy Café on Le
Thanh Ton Street in District 1 where Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
visited last year or Cheo Leo coffee shop on Nguyen Thien Thuat Street in
District 3 are worth giving a try.
5. Tasting street food
Fans of sweet soups can come to
Nguyen Tri Phuong Street in District 10, which is famous for Thai-style sweet
soups, or drop by Cambodian-style sweet soup shop in Alley 374, Le Hong Phong
Street in District 10, run by Cambodian Vietnamese owner known as “Mrs.
Co”.
Located next to the busy Tan Dinh
Market in District 1, Nguyen Huu Cau Street could be an ideal place for those
who like Hue-style dishes. Dim-sum lovers can get to Ha Ton Quyen Street in
District 11.
Hong Ha in Tan Binh District is
famous for specialties of northern Vietnam such as bun dau mam tom (fried tofu
and fresh rice vermicelli with fermented shrimp paste), bun oc (noodles with
snails), bun cha (vermicelli served with grilled pork dipped in fish sauce),
and banh da cua (pancake soup served with crab).
Nguyen Canh Chan in District 1 is
home to a stack of eateries selling different fruits served on plates.
Customers can order a combination of fresh fruits such as dragon fruit, papaya,
mango, and watermelon plus yogurt, fresh milk, and shaved ice. It is a great
treat for those who want to cool themselves in a hot day.
For those looking for better
dining spaces, Ben Thanh street food market and Sense Market food court at Zone
B of September 23 Park are highly recommended.
