_TI***ieThis trip was great. Centrally located pick up and drop off points. Please note that the starting points are different at different times if the day. The bus drives through lots of the central parts of Saigon so you can see how the daily life is and how busy all the streets are from above. Driving such a large bus in the city is impressive. I went during a weekday afternoon so there were not as many people on the bus. which was great for me. Please note that when you ride the top of the bus it's quite scenic but also exposed to lots of sun.Ho Chi Minh City

PicknBounceDuring my visit to the Saigon Central Post Office, I was deeply impressed by its magnificent French colonial architecture designed by Gustave Eiffel. The building’s high vaulted ceilings, intricate ironwork, and vintage telephone booths transported me back to the early 20th century. Inside, I admired the grand portrait of Ho Chi Minh and the beautiful tiled floors that reflect the city’s rich history. I also sent a postcard from one of the oldest functioning post offices in Southeast Asia—a charming way to connect the past and present. Visiting this landmark truly showcased Saigon’s timeless blend of culture and history.Ho Chi Minh City

Chris 王墨迪The experience isn’t expensive and you get your moneys worth. I enjoyed the show it was as the box explained a famous old puppet show an I would advise everyone to experience it at its cheap price and to see a bit of local culture. If taking kids it is 1hr long so if you don’t plan to stay the whole time then please don’t sit in the front rows.Ho Chi Minh City

长脸张少侠Vietnam🇻🇳Ho Chi Minh【Tan Dinh Catholic Church】(Pink Church)
Tan Dinh Church
Tan Dinh Church, also known as the Pink Church, is located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City. It was completed on December 16, 1876. Its pink exterior is very eye-catching and is said to have been painted in 1957. The overall style is Gothic, but the decorative details have some Romanesque and Baroque influences. The entire building is currently painted pink, and the facade includes a main tower and two secondary towers. There is a 3-meter-high bronze cross on the top of the 52.6-meter-high main tower. There are five bells inside, with a total weight of 5.5 tons. Not only is the exterior of the church all pink, the interior is also decorated in pink. There are mass times every day and visitors can go inside to visit.
