• Cu Chi Tunnels - Begin your journey with a transfer from your hotel to Tan Cang Jetty, then set off for the Cu Chi Tunnels via a shared speedboat. Relish the scenic views along the Saigon River’s outskirts. During the American War, Cu Chi was a crucial base due to its strategic position. The Vietcong constructed a 200km network of tunnels linking command posts, hospitals, shelters, and weapon factories. These tunnels, dug by hand from hard laterite without cement, extended from Saigon to the Cambodian border and reached three levels deep. Today, the remaining tunnels are a major tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the underground life during the war.

• War Remnants Museum - Previously known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum is a favorite among Western tourists. Few museums worldwide depict the devastating impact of war on civilians as powerfully. While many atrocities documented here were widely reported, Westerners seldom hear the personal accounts of US military action victims. Although some exhibits are one-sided, numerous disturbing photographs of US atrocities are sourced from the US, including those of the notorious My Lai Massacre.

• Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral - Constructed between 1877 and 1883, Notre Dame Cathedral graces the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s government district, facing Ð Dong Khoi. This brick, neo-Romanesque church features 40m-high square towers topped with iron spires and is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The interior walls are adorned with devotional tablets, and some stained glass remains intact.

• Central Post Office - Situated directly opposite Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City’s impressive French post office is a classic of its era, designed by Marie-Alfred Foulhoux (though often attributed to Gustave Eiffel) and built between 1886 and 1891. The grand concourse walls display captivating historic maps of South Vietnam, Saigon, and Cholon, while a mosaic of Ho Chi Minh is prominently featured at the end of its barrel-vaulted hall. The interior boasts a magnificent tiled floor and abundant green-painted wrought iron.

• Saigon Opera House (Ho Chi Minh Municipal Theater) - Visitors are immediately enchanted by the Saigon Opera House’s elegant French colonial architecture, with its intricate carvings and grand arches reminiscent of 19th-century Paris. As evening falls, the building’s soft, golden illumination transforms the city center into a scene of timeless elegance and artistic charm.
