• The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument - On June 11, 1963, Thich Quang Duc traveled from the war-ravaged city of Huế to Saigon in an Austin Westminster. He exited the light blue car at a busy intersection, sat in the lotus position, and had a colleague pour gasoline over him from a five-gallon container. Surrounded by protesters, he set himself on fire. In his final note, he wrote: “I respectfully plead to President Ngo Dinh Diem to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally.” In 2010, a memorial depicting the monk engulfed in flames was erected at the very spot where he died fifty years earlier. Before the statue, which stands in front of a bas-relief illustrating the event, American journalist Malcolm Browne’s photographs were the most prominent reminders of the incident. - Nguyen Thien Thuat Apartment Buildings - Experience Ho Chi Minh City’s street food scene on this half-day tasting tour, focusing on local favorites often missed by other culinary tours.

This magnificent bridge spans the Saigon River, which runs through the city. The bridge’s backward-sloping and curved pylon is distinctive, creating a unique landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. Despite its unusual shape, the bridge’s structural design is optimal. The 200-meter main span of the asymmetric cable-stayed bridge is a lightweight composite structure of steel and concrete, while the 115-meter back span is made of concrete. This design balances the structure, eliminating bending stresses in the pylon due to permanent loads. The structure has also been optimized with the positioning of the angled cables in the back span. From the other side of Saigon Central, you will have the opportunity to see a different part of Saigon and capture a series of stunning photos.
