#Travel Itinerary Ho Chi Minh 2 Nights 3 Days Super Easy Itinerary Recommendation! (Including Mui Ne) Day 1 - Central Post Office -> Notre Dame Cathedral -> Ben Thanh Market Day 2 - Mui Ne Sunrise Tour -> Reunification Palace -> Ho Chi Minh Square Day 3 - Pink Cathedral -> City Tour -> Souvenir Purchase -> Airport I went on a trip to Ho Chi Minh with a friend this time and it was really, really great! It was really fun to bargain and buy things at Ben Thanh Market, and there were also foods inside the market, so it was really great! And I was able to buy souvenirs for cheap! On the second day, I booked a sunrise tour to Mui Ne that departed early in the morning! Mui Ne is a small city near Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and it's really, really famous for its desert. It was my first time on a desert, but the sand was really finer than I thought, and maybe because it's Vietnam, it was humid even though it was a desert! It was a tour that went early in the morning and came back in the afternoon, so it was really great because I didn't have to spend a whole day! Sleep is recommended to sleep in the Guinea car during the travel time! On the last day, I only played around the outskirts of the city, went to the Pink Cathedral, and went to Cong Cafe with a view of the Pink Cathedral. Then I took the city tour bus and looked around the city, which was so, so good. And then I went back to Ben Thanh Market to buy the souvenirs I had been saving and went to the airport. It was a perfect schedule.

This time I came to the Ho Chi Minh City Post Office with my family. I felt like I was traveling through time. The overall flow was smooth and it didn't feel too crowded. As soon as you enter the post office, you will be immediately attracted by the strong retro atmosphere. The towering vaulted ceilings, old maps on the wall, and French architectural details make you feel as if you have traveled through time back to the colonial era. Although there are a lot of people, this is still a great place to take photos. Whether it is the eye-catching yellow building on the exterior of the post office or the historical decoration inside, you can easily capture beautiful pictures. We even bought a few postcards as souvenirs. Address: 2 Cong xa Paris, Bến Nghe, tp. Hồ Chi Minh, Hồ Chi Minh Monday-Friday 7:30-19:00, Saturday and Sunday 8:00-18:00. #2月好地方2025

Hello everyone! Today, I would like to share my real experience of sleeping on a VIP Cabin Bus in Vietnam! 😆 This trip, we came for 6 days and 5 nights. We were bored of visiting one city, so we looked for a way to continue on a low budget. And then... 🗣️ "Hey, I want to save money on accommodation. Staying for many days is expensive." 💡 "Then let's just sleep on the bus!!" This idea came to me, and I booked it without hesitation! 🚀 🚌 Bus of choice: VIP Cabin Bus by Viet Nhat ✔️ Reason for choosing: Depart at night, arrive at the destination in the morning, and continue your trip! There are reviews that say it's quite good, suitable for women traveling (this trip was all 3 women!) Price 530฿ (website ticket 489฿ + fee that's so high it makes you cry 😭) 📍 Bus stop: 263 D. Pham Ngū Lão, District 1 This area is a bus stop on the entire street. Every house is a bus stop! Easy to find, just ask for directions, Vietnamese people are very kind 😱 The peak of the trip Got on the wrong bus!!! But I realized it in time, quickly checked the ticket and got off just in time 😂 The bus I booked was delayed for almost half an hour, so I had to be calm... When I got on the bus, the staff gave me a bag to put my shoes + water and then took me to my own bed. 🛏️ The living conditions on the bus Each bed has: ✅ 1 pillow ✅ 1 very thin blanket ✅ Personal TV (but I couldn't watch anything 🤣) ✅ 2-3 USB ports ✅ Personal light + personal curtain Wi-Fi is available but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's okay for a bus. 🚨 Disadvantages you need to know - Vietnam = The city of horns 🚗📢 Sleeping on the bus is like sleeping next to an alarm clock all night. - The road is good, but when you brake, your body will slide 😂 - Very cold! ❄️ The blanket provided is very thin, bring something to protect yourself from the cold! - No matter how good your travel companions are, they can't help 😭 We got hit by the people above "Step on the head" when getting off the bus 1 time - High chance of having the curtains opened because people often sleep in the wrong place 555 (we got it once) - Snoring is there, but not much, considered acceptable ⭐️ Summary of impression scores 🌟 Accuracy: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Better than expected!) 💁♀️ Service: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Deducted 1 star because I thought there would be more service) 🥶 Coldness: ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️ (Getting hit by the iron is startling) 💺 Comfort: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Very good for a sleeper bus) 🚀 Summary: Should you try it? ✅ If you want a new experience + save on accommodation → Go for it! ✅ Travel at night, wake up and continue traveling → Very worthwhile ⚠️ But if you are a person who has difficulty sleeping or is extremely sensitive to the cold → You might have to think carefully For us, we are happy with the experience! Even though there were some peaks, it was a super fun trip ❤️ For those who want to try sleeping on a bus in Vietnam, I hope this review will help! ✨ #How to travel #Get discounts without relying on luck #Vietnam travel #Sleeping bus review #New Year, new trip

#2月好去地方2025 Pink Church~ "A touch of pink under the blue sky adds a touch of gentle color to the solemn holy place" ⛪️Introduction to attractions: The Pink Church was originally named "Sacred Heart of Jesus Church" and is now called "Tin Dinh Church". It is located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City and is the second largest Catholic church in Ho Chi Minh City! The building is painted pink, hence the name. It has become a popular Instagram spot in recent years. The building consists of a main tower and two auxiliary towers. There are five bells and many stained glass windows inside the main tower. The church itself is not big, but many tourists come here to see its beautiful face! ! 📕History brief introduction: In 1858, the French invasion of Danang fired the first shot of colonizing Vietnam. With the efforts of President Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam won its sovereign independence. Although it was oppressed by French colonization for a long time, the cultural and artistic works it built are beyond doubt! ! The Pink Church is a Roman Catholic church built in 1876. Its architectural style incorporates many features of Gothic architecture! ! Before the Pink Church was built, it was only built with wooden walls and columns. In 1870, Bishop Eveilard initiated the reconstruction, which took six years to build. The original church was mainly solemn and dignified white, just like European countries. It was not until 1957 that the exterior was painted a touch of girlish pink~ 🕰️Business hours: There is no fixed opening hours at present! ! If you want to visit, it depends on your character! ! 📍Address: 289 Hai Bà Trưng, ​​Phường 8, Quận 3, Hồ Chí Minh 💞Recommendation reason: It is a very unique church building in Vietnam.

#favouriteitinerary I just ate on a 14-course meal and my whole experience was amazing! This is ORYZ Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City, a fine dining and a Michelin Guide restaurant that took me to different parts of Vietnam through there unique and innvative dishes! I even had a boarding pass and a passport! 😱🤯 I started from hanoi with their beef pho but in a jelly form and their mustard fried rice with this green leaf like tacos. Next i had this beef jerky papaya salad with peanuts, hanoi rice vermicilli soup, their bun cha with a crab spring roll and this turmeric & dill fish is soo good with noodles! And this is their lemon tea topped with salted plum Now, Traveling to Hue. I love how they plate this Hue cake platter and a fish sauce dip from this jar. Snake head fish soup with steam egg. Bon bo hue comes with this tofu noodles thats gonna make right in front of you. 🍜 Ho chi minh dishes starts with the Beef stew with a seasame bun to dip. And rice noodle soup which I personally love.🩷 And finally desserts! I cant believe they made tjis com tam with pudding. This sweet soup is so refreshing with jellies and shaved iced.

If you are visiting Vietnam, you have to put Pizza 4Ps Cafe on your to-try travel itinerary! It is such a famous brand that they now have over 30 stores across the country. What I like about this cafe is that if you can’t decide what pizza flavours to pick, you can always select a few and have them all in one single pizza! Of course this costs a little bit more but it’s worth it. And the quality of the food is beyond yummy! The pasta and fried chicken we had were super flavourful and well-cooked. You’ll certainly be in for a treat! My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #hiddengems #tripmoments #tripblazers

Ho Chi Minh is famous for its croissant specialty store, offering a wide variety of flavors, both savory and sweet. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a giant croissant model. The seating area includes both outdoor and indoor options, and there's even a second floor. The place is always bustling with people, making it hard to find a seat. We were very lucky to find a spot and ordered two flavors of croissants and a canelé. The food was up to standard, and it's no wonder the business is thriving! It's highly recommended for friends traveling to Ho Chi Minh to give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

It is really worth taking a day trip on the Mekong River! The tour guide's language is fluent and the explanation is detailed, so you don't have to worry about not understanding. The itinerary was very rich, visiting three small islands, each with its own unique charm. The meals were very local in style, not only cheap but also delicious, making us feast on them. Coconut candy, in particular, is not only delicious, but also perfect to take home and give as a souvenir. Overall, this trip was fulfilling and interesting, and allowed us to deeply experience the charm of the Mekong River. I highly recommend it to everyone! #MekongRiver #DayTour #VietnamFreeTravel
