Vietnam Travel Guide | Almost got heatstroke in Ho Chi Minh

In Ho Chi Minh for a few days it was: 💒 Checking out attractions 🍜 Eating Vietnamese noodles ☕️ Drinking coffee 🛍️ Shopping for clothes 💆‍♀️ Getting a massage 1️⃣ About attractions - If you have time, the Central Post Office/Pink Church/Art Gallery/War Remnants Museum are all worth a visit - The Central Post Office is quite small, and there are some souvenir shops inside - We went to the Pink Church on the weekend when it was closed, so we just took photos at the coffee shop opposite - The Art Gallery is relatively large and worth visiting, also very photogenic - The War Remnants Museum is the most popular, mainly about the history of the Vietnam War, and there are a lot of Western visitors 2️⃣ About Vietnamese noodles - Didn't specifically plan to eat at any particular place, just randomly went to a Vietnamese noodle shop near the Central Post Office, turned out to be a hidden gem - Picture 10, the shop name is pho cao van - Ordered two bowls of beef noodles with a whole 🥥 for only 45 RMB - There was also a compatriot eating there who didn't have cash, so he exchanged with us on WeChat. When paying, we told the owner we would pay together, and when she saw we were not at the same table, she told the compatriot not to worry about it and to come back after exchanging money. 3️⃣ About coffee - Visited the popular ones like the workshop coffee / dabao / Linh, etc. - Vietnamese coffee is really good! Especially the salted coffee, which is salty and sweet! - Coconut coffee is too sweet for me, but those who like sweet drinks can try it 4️⃣ About shopping - If you want to keep it simple, just go to D Nguyen Trai street - I don't think you need to specifically look for a certain store, many of the stores recommended online didn't have anything great, and some of the more popular ones were of average quality - Anyway, there are super many clothing stores on this street, if you have time you can visit each one - The green short-sleeved shirt in pictures 5/8/11 was just from a random store, only 55 yuan!! And the quality is pretty good 5️⃣ About massage - Massage shops are everywhere, but still check Google Maps for reviews according to your needs - I had a body massage at Norah spa, the environment is relatively better, comfort level is average, similar to domestic ones, but definitely cheaper - Had a hair wash at Xuan Lan Spa&Hair, also not expensive, quite formal, worth experiencing - Both of these shops are on the same street, very close to each other, and there are also some clothing stores nearby like Datt/ S.C Studio etc. - Finally, make sure to wear sunscreen, Ho Chi Minh is really super hot and the sun is extremely strong! It feels like melting on the streets during the day!
