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 · 41.8km from Duc Hue

I didn't have high hopes, but overall it was very good, exceeding my expectations. The weather was also quite nice today. I would highly recommend it if you're visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Although I've been to many cities, I still highly recommend it.

Once departed it was excellent. Myself and another traveller were told to arrive by 5pm, only to be told that we could not go on the sunset cruise and would have to wait until 7.30pm. Very disappointing. Such a waste of 2 hours when on a short city break. Feel we were lied to by staff

Not much to see here. The place is small and hot with no air conditioning. You get to see how the government officials would live their lives and how they would host their guests at the different rooms within the palace. Ticket isn’t experience but really not much to see

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.

It’s definitely worth visiting! There aren’t many people, and the aquarium is beautiful. Honestly, you don’t really need to buy an Express Pass because the crowds are pretty small. There’s also a huge Ferris wheel 🎡 inside the theme park that’s definitely worth a ride!
