Ho Chi Minh City is a city of contrasts. Wander through timeless alleys to incense-infused temples before catching up with the present in designer malls beneath sleek skyscrapers. The ghosts of the past live on in buildings that one generation ago witnessed a city in turmoil, but the real beauty of Saigon’s urban collage is the seamless blending of these two worlds into one thrilling, seething mass, while a host of new and exhilarating tours get you way off-the-beaten track.
The most central of all the markets, teeming Ben Thanh and its surrounding streets comprise one of the city’s liveliest areas. Everything that’s commonly eaten, worn or used by the Saigonese is piled high: vegetables, dried fruit, meats, spices, scorpions in alcohol, sweets, tobacco, clothing, one-day suits, wristwatches, blingtastic jewelry, hardware and more spill forth from a profu-sion of stalls. Souvenir items can be found in equal abundance.
Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum is consistently popular with Western tourists with an exten-sive collection of exhibits relating to the Vietnam War. The museum is housed in the former US Information Service building. Captions are in Vietnamese and English.
Independence Palace, also known as Reunification Palace was the home and workplace of the President of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was the site of the end of the Vietnam War during the Fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975, when a North Vietnamese Army tank crashed through its gates.

Morning, meet your guide and transfer about 75 km North-west of downtown Ho Chi Minh City.

Built in 1909 in honor of the supreme Taoist god (the Jade Emperor or King of Heaven, Ngoc Hoang), this is one of the most spectacularly atmospheric tem-ples in Ho Chi Minh City, stuffed with statues of phantasmal divinities and gro-tesque heroes. The pungent smoke of incense fills the air, sometimes obscuring the exquisite woodcarvings.
China Town or Cholon is the largest in Vietnam dating back to the 18th centu-ry. China town is a popular tourist site to see classical Chinese architecture reminiscent of years gone by with plenty of Chinese restaurants, having Binh Tay Market as it central market, which is always busy. Several temples are found in this market and include Thien Hau and Quan Am which feature Chi-nese-Buddhist architecture and interiors with pagodas, courtyards, altars and painting.
Built between 1877 and 1883, Notre Dame Cathedral rises up romantically from the heart of HCMC’s government quarter, facing Ð Dong Khoi. A brick, neo-Romanesque church with two 40m-high square towers tipped with iron spires, the Catholic cathedral is named after the Virgin Mary. The walls of the interior are inlaid with devotional tablets and some stained glass survives. English-speaking staff dispense tourist information from 9am to 11am Monday to Sat-urday.
Far afield 70km to the northwestern city lay the incredible Cu Chi Tunnels. It is actually a defense system of 250 km of connecting underground tunnels built by Vietnamese resistance fighters during the long time of struggling for independ-ence. The tunnels now are widened and turned into a war memorial park with two other display sites. Not only exploring the tunnels itself, visitors also have the chance to fire AK47s and M16s at a shooting range on site. The site can be visited within a day from Ho Chi Minh.

The ‘rice bowl’ of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a landscape carpeted in a dizzying variety of greens and slashed with mighty waterways. It's a water world where boats, houses, restaurants and even markets float upon the innumerable rivers, ca-nals and streams that flow through the region like arteries. At times you can quite simply lose sight of land.
The area is both riparian and deeply rural, but it's also one of Vietnam's most densely populated regions, with nearly every hectare intensively farmed. Visitors can dwell on southern charm in little-visited riverside cities, sample fruits traded in the colorful floating markets, or feast on home-cooked delicacies before over-nighting as a homestay guest. Mangrove forests, sacred Khmer pagodas and off-the-beaten-track attractions round out the picture.
The capital of Vinh Long province is about midway between My Tho and Can Tho. Vinh Long may not be the largest town in the Mekong, but as a major transit hub it can be noisy and chaotic nonetheless. Flee the mayhem by head-ing to the riverfront, where plenty of cafes and restaurants afford respite. De-spite a lack of in-town attractions, Vinh Long is the gateway to island life and some worthwhile sites, including Cai Be Floating Market, abundant orchards and rural homestays.

Hoi An, also Fai-Fo or Faifoo is perhaps Vietnam’s most delightful town. Once a major trading port dating from the 15th to 19th centuries. Hoi An owes its easygoing provincial demeanor and remarkably harmonious old-town to hap-penstance. Hoi An is one of Vietnam’s most wealthy towns, a culinary mecca and important tourism center.
This beautiful little bridge is emblematic of Hoi An. A bridge was first con-structed here in the 1590s by the Japanese community in order to link them with the Chinese quarters across the stream. The entrances to the bridge are guarded by weathered statues: a pair of monkeys on one side, a pair of dogs on the other.
Located at 101 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Tan Ky House, constructed almost two centuries ago by a Vietnamese family, has been lovingly preserved through sev-en generations. The owner of the house has preserved its interior design and old furniture, as well as many relics of the prospering trade and cultural ex-changes among the Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese during the late 17 cen-tury. While visiting the small town Hoi An, you must also visit this Old House of Tan Ky to encounter great Vietnamese historical and cultural significance.

Destinations:
Palaces and pagodas, tombs and temples, culture and history make up Hue, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The once-capital of the Nguyen emperors still resonates with the glories of Imperial Vietnam, even though many of its finest buildings were destroyed during the war.
Lang Co is an attractive island-like stretch of palm-shaded white sand, with a crystal-clear, turquoise lagoon on one side and 10km of beachfront on the oth-er. As a beach resort, it is more geared to Vietnamese day trippers than West-ern travellers, but if the weather's nice, the ocean is certainly inviting .High season is April to July. From late August till November rains are frequent,and from December to March it can get chilly.
The Dynasty of Nguyen in Vietnam consisted of thirteen emperors. Only seven royal tombs remain in Hue nowadays: they are Gia Long, Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, Duc Duc, Dong Khanh and Khai Dinh. The architectural style of these tombs follows rigid regulations relating to natural environment and geographical ob-jects, such as rivers, mountains, ponds and lakes, streams and particularly to what is termed “mysterious palace” – the architectural focal point of all struc-tures built during the Nguyen Dynasty.
Most of Hue’s sights and a sizeable chunk of its population reside within the 2m-thick, 10km‑long walls of its Citadel on the north bank of the Perfume Riv-er. Built between 1804 and 1833, its ramparts are encircled by a moat, 30m across and about 4m deep, and there are 10 fortified gates. The water in the moat is routed from the Perfume River through a series of sluice gates. This enclosure is the Citadel. Inside the Citadel is the Imperial City, with a perime-ter wall some 2.5 kilometers in length. Within the Imperial City is the Purple Forbidden City, a term similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing. Access to the innermost enclosure is restricted to the Nguyen Imperial family

Destinations:
The Perfume River (Vietnamese: Sông Hương) runs through Hue. Its name comes from the fact that it flows through many forests of aromatic plants be-fore reaching Hue, bringing with it a pure and fresh aroma.
As one of the most popular attractions in this romantic city, a boat excursion or cruise along the river is included in most itineraries to Hue. Along the river, you can visit Da Vien, Phu Xuan, and Truong Tien Bridges, visit the royal tombs of Nguyen Dynasty’s Kings, Hon Chen Shrine, and Thien Mu Pagoda.
Built on a hill overlooking the Perfume River, 4km southwest of the Citadel, Thien Mu Pagoda is considered a symbol of Hue. The Pagoda was originally founded in 1601 by Nguyen Hoang, governor of Thuan Hoa province. Over the centuries, its buildings have been destroyed and rebuilt several times.
Its 21m-high octagonal tower, Thap Phuoc Duyen, was constructed under the reign of Emperor Thieu Tri in 1844. Each of its seven stories is dedicated to a manushi-buddha.
The Pagoda itself is a humble building in the inner courtyard, past the triple-gated entrance where three statues of Buddhist guardians stand at the alert. In the main sanctuary behind the bronze laughing Buddha are three statues: A Di Da, the Buddha of the Past; Thich Ca, the historical Buddha (Sakyamuni); and Di Lac Buddha, the Buddha of the Future.

Destinations:
Since its establishment as Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi has been a city of contrasts, from hidden coffee shops waiting to be discovered to the emerging contemporary art galleries; from historical monuments to ancient pagodas and temples and luxurious designer stores. This fascinating city holds deeply its roots and sense of history and has welcomed the modern world. Today, Hanoi is a sophisticated and elegant city, bursting with character.
Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is both a research center and a public museum, exhibiting the ethnic groups of Vietnam. It also serves as a center for scientific research, collection, documentation, conservation, exhibition and preservation of cultural and historic patrimony of Vietnam’s different ethnic groups.
On the grounds are examples of traditional village houses of different ethnic minorities – a Tay stilt house, an impressive Bahnar communal structure and a Dao home. Don’t miss the soaring, thatch-roofed Giarai Tomb, complete with risqué wooden statues.
This complex is a special place of pilgrimage for many Vietnamese who visit the area to pay homage to Hoi Chi Minh, leader of modern Vietnam. It is a traffic-free area of botanical gardens, monuments, memorials and pagodas. Within the complex are Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House and the Presidential Palace, as well as the Ho Chi Minh Museum.
The One Pillar Pagoda was originally built in 1049 by the Emperor Ly Thai Tong, who ruled from 1028 to 1054. The pagoda was built to honor the emperor’s peasant wife who bore him an heir. Built of wood on a single stone pillar, the pagoda is designed to resemble a lotus blossom, the symbol of purity. The original pagoda was destroyed in 1954 by the French upon their withdrawal from Vietnam. The present day pagoda was rebuilt by the government in the following year.
Known as Vietnam’s first University and located 2 kilometers west of Hoan Kiem Lake, the Temple of Literature is a rare example of well-preserved traditional Vietnamese architecture. Founded in 1070 by Emperor Ly Thanh Tong, the temple is dedicated to Confucius and honors Vietnam’s finest scholars of literary accomplishment.
Visitors are welcomed by an imposing tiered gateway that leads through the gardens and to the Khue Van Pavilion, constructed in 1802. The northern side of this courtyard is marked by a low-slung pagoda housing an extraordinary statue of a majestic Confucius, depicted with a goatee and bearing scarlet robes, flanked by four of his disciples.
