In less frequented areas you can gain a deeper understanding of the daily lives of the local Vietnamese people; a perspective vastly different from what you experience in the city center. The people of Saigon have resided in these areas for many years, with homes being passed down through generations, visible in the ancestral altars found in even the smallest homes. These alleys showcase a tight-knit community where neighbors know each other well, resonating the proverb that a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin. You’ll get the opportunity to converse with locals about their everyday lives, offering you a glimpse into Saigon’s history, particularly that of the 1960s and the Tet Offensive of 1968.
