Wandering around Vietnam – HCMC & Mekong Delta

Not going to talk more about Mekong Delta 1 day trip as it was quite bored actually. Went along the river, pass by some island, walked around some village, row boat along the canal, taste honey, taste coconut, taste fruit, listen folk music…Here’s some photos for you.

 

 

It’s already 4 months after my Vietnam trip but I still have a few posts to write to share with you…gosh...how busy am I nowadays, until I almost forget I actually like to write.

Well now I am preparing for my another vacation next week... Oh no, more posts to queue...

Ok. Let’s go wandering around Ho Chi Minh city.

We visit several tourist spot.
 

The first must-visit place is The War Remnants Museum. A lot of photos and posters showing the distressing horrors that happen during the war. Every of us is in a depressed mood during the visit. World peace, why war? And if world is not peace, why war?

 

There is also aircraft and war tanks collection outside the museum.

 

 

This is another attraction to check out. The Reunification Palace is one of the historical site marks the end of the Vietnamese War. This building used to be the Presidential Palace during the war. You can see banquet room, meeting room, mini cinema, office room and more rooms.

Next is the General Post Office and the Notre Dame Cathedral.

 

 

I like this French architectural building.

I have no idea why I visit a post office when travel to a foreign country. But this General Post Office is one of the major tourist spot in this city and it is big. Anyway, I like the architectural design and I sent myself a postcard :)
 

 

 

Ben Thanh Market in HCMC is like Chatuchak in Bangkok, you can find almost everything here. From key chains to clothes and accessories, from coffee to groceries, it is like a big market. For me, it is a tourist trap. Things are not cheap here. Do remember to ask for CHEAP CHEAP price and compare among a few stalls before you decide which one to buy from.

 

All in all, I could say that my trip to HCMC was a memorable one.

I have so much to share and I really enjoy it.

I will come back again, Hanoi and Danang are already in my list :)
