Ho Chi Minh City is a culturally diverse city! Getting you off the crowded tourist trails, the in-depth tour will bring you to different areas of the city to see how locals live their lives and immerse yourself in their daily basis.
The first place in the journey is the garage of the Saigon manor, a secret hideout and a workshop of the Saigon Special Force in the Vietnam War. This is also the place displaying two cars, Citroen NCE-345 and Hino Pickup EC-6045, which were used to attack the Independence Palace in 1968. That campaign was planned by Captain Tran Van Lai, who has come and hidden in Saigon for 10 years to prepare for the attack.
Following the story of Captain Tran Van Lai, we are coming to the next place – Do Phu Coffee Shop – the old house of him. There is also a secret weapons cellar under the house of Mr. Lai, which took him 3 years to build and connect with a special tunnel through 3 houses nearby. This is the place that contains many historical data of the Campaign in 1968. Especially, you will have chance to enjoy Vietnamese-flavored milk coffee traditionally.
Ho Thi Ky Flower Market is the next point of the journey, this is one of the largest wholesale flower markets in Ho Chi Minh City. This area is known as the Cambodian and street food markets in the evening.
Finally, we will take you to China Town in District 5 to visit many different places:
- The ghost apartment with thousands of vacant apartments located in the center of Saigon with many mysterious ghost stories.
- Old Temples and Pagodas which were built hundreds of years ago.
- Specialized Markets of Chinese people namely the Motorbike Market, Silk Market, etc.
In the end, we will invite you to a Restaurant to have a traditional Vietnamese meal.
