• Binh Tay Market - Nestled in Chinatown (Cho Lon), Binh Tay Market is a lively and historic marketplace in Ho Chi Minh City. With a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, the market acts as a vibrant center of commerce and cultural exchange. Within its bustling halls, visitors can explore a diverse array of products including fresh produce, spices, textiles, handicrafts, and more, immersing themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of this iconic market.
  The market was constructed by the French colonial administration to replace the older and smaller Cho Lon Market, which was destroyed in a fire. Binh Tay Market quickly became a thriving commercial center, serving as a vital trading hub for Chinese merchants and the local Vietnamese population.

Over the years, the market has undergone significant transformations. However, it was rebuilt and continues to thrive today, attracting both locals and tourists alike. It remains an essential part of the city’s cultural heritage, offering a diverse array of products.

• Ba Thien Hau Temple - This beautiful 19th-century temple is dedicated to the goddess Thien Hau and consistently draws a mix of worshippers and visitors, who gather beneath the large coils of incense suspended overhead. It is believed that Thien Hau can travel over the oceans on a mat and ride the clouds to rescue people in distress on the high seas.

Intricate ceramic friezes adorn the roofline of the interior courtyard, while the protectors of the pagoda are said to be two land turtles residing here. Near the large braziers stand two miniature wooden structures in which a small figure of Thien Hau is paraded around nearby streets on the 23rd day of the third lunar month.

On the main dais are three figures of Thien Hau, one behind the other, all flanked by two servants or guardians. To the right is a scale-model boat and on the far right is the Goddess Long Mau, Protector of Mothers and Newborns.
Visiting this temple offers an opportunity to discover a part of the local culture of an ethnic minority.

• The Independence Palace - Surrounded by royal palm trees, the distinctive 1960s architecture of this landmark government building and the eerie ambiance of its deserted halls make it an intriguing spectacle. The first Communist tanks to arrive in Saigon rolled in here on 30 April 1975, and it feels as if time has stood still since then. The building is deeply associated with the fall of the city in 1975, yet it’s the kitsch detailing and period motifs that capture attention. It’s also known as the Independence Palace.
  The building was named Independence Palace and was home to the succeeding South Vietnamese president, Nguyen Van Thieu, until his hasty departure in 1975. Designed by Paris-trained Vietnamese architect Ngo Viet Thu, it is an outstanding example of 1960s architecture, with an airy and open atmosphere.
  The Reunification Palace, also known as Independence Palace, is a landmark building located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. It is recognized as a must-see National Monument when visiting Ho Chi Minh City.
• PHỞ 24 - 158D PASTEUR - Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, noodles, meat, and fresh herbs. Its unique flavor is achieved by simmering beef and chicken bones, along with various spices, for hours until the taste is just right.

The history of pho begins at the end of the 19th century, at the peak of French colonialism. French demand led to a greater availability of beef in Vietnam, resulting in a surplus of beef bones.

From the early hours, pho stalls set up shop along the sidewalks. Shrouded in clouds of steam, the cook assembles each bowl to order. Boiling broth is poured over a bed of soft rice noodles and sliced meat, topped with a handful of chopped herbs and chives. Each diner customizes their bowl to taste, with squeezes of lemon, slices of red chili, sprigs of basil, and dabs of hoisin sauce. It’s an experience no visit to Vietnam is complete without.

Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls are a popular and delicious appetizer and tasty morsels.

• Sơn mài Đại Việt - The lacquer itself is actually the resin of a tree, mixed with colored pigments and solvents, and applied layer after layer to the object’s surface, producing a shiny and durable finish. Eggshell and mother of pearl may be applied to the surface before the lacquer is applied, with the finished product sanded down to reveal the decoration beneath.

The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, notably those of Phu Tho, was a crucial factor in the rapid development of this art form during the feudal period.
Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes, and trays (1428-1527) can still be seen at many temples and pagodas.

In subsequent centuries, the use of lacquerware extended to larger items such as wooden chairs and tables.

Since that time, lacquerware has continued to develop into one of the mainstays of the Vietnamese handicraft industry, both domestically and internationally. Today’s most popular items include vases, jewel cases, desk sets, trays, and vertical blinds.

• History Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - Built in 1929, this notable Sino-French museum houses a rewarding collection of artifacts illustrating the evolution of the cultures of Vietnam, from the Bronze Age Dong Son civilization (which emerged in 2000 BCE) and the Funan civilization (1st to 6th centuries CE) to the Cham, Khmer, and Vietnamese. Highlights include valuable relics taken from Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and a fine collection of Buddha statues. There’s good English information. Parts of the museum are being renovated.

There’s also a perfectly preserved mummy of a local woman who died in 1869, excavated from Xom Cai in District 5; and some exquisite stylized mother-of-pearl Chinese characters inlaid into panels. It’s located beside the Botanical Gardens.

The museum also encompasses the diverse cultures of ethnic groups in Southern Vietnam and other Asian countries. Explore their clothing, unique musical instruments, statues of deities, and tools related to agriculture, hunting, and fishing.
