Saigong One Day Tour Guide

Before coming, I heard about the motorbike gangs in Ho Chi Minh City, so upon landing, I quickly held my backpack close to my chest, hesitant to take out my phone. In reality, it feels overall safe here. The people I encountered were friendly, and there were helpful aunties eager to assist with translation (since most people here don't speak English well, hand gestures are common). There was even a delivery guy who chased after me to return my fallen phone case. Here are some recommendations from my trip: Food: ⛪️ Little Hanoi Egg Coffee - 🕓 8 am - 10 pm ⛪️ Hu tieu tho thanh xuan (Fresh Shrimp Noodle Soup) - 🕓 Breakfast ⛪️ Dabao Concept (Coffee shop in a renovated old house, also serves croissants) - 🕓 7:00 - 21:00 (Avoid weekends) ⛪️ Spice Bistro (Local Vietnamese cuisine, outdoor seating in Thao Dien) - 🕓 10 am - 10 pm (Mon-Fri), 7 am - 11 pm (Sat-Sun) ⛪️ Banh mi Huynh Hoa (Famous Banh Mi shop) - 🕓 13:30 - 23:00 Sightseeing: - Ho Chi Minh Fine Arts Museum (Antique market opposite) - 🕓 9 am - 5 pm (Closed on Mondays) - 30,000 VND / 9 RMB - War Remnants Museum - 12 RMB - Thao Dien Walk (Vietnamese Little Paris) - Coffee Apartment (Canvas bag shop "the eye," small bar "p room") Itinerary: Day 1: - Ho Chi Minh Fine Arts Museum (Visit the antique market across the street) - Coffee Apartment - Central Post Office - Book Street - Pink Church - Thao Dien Walk Day 2: - Ho Chi Minh Square - Ho Chi Minh Museum - Reunification Palace - Pham Ngu Lao Street #hochiminhguide
