Why take this tour?

It is hard to imagine that something is even more vibrant and alive than downtown Ho Chi Minh City, but Cho Lon is just that kind of place. With its distinctly Chinese character, the sounds, sights and smells of Saigon’s Chinatown are home to the Minh Huong (Chinese origin) and are worth half a day of exploration. This morning tour will take you to the heart that it is so traditional Cho Lon and learn more about the values, cultural differences and religious practices that define this part of Ho Chi Minh City. • Wander through the old streets and alleys of Cho Lon • Learn about the Chinese way of living in Saigon • See how bargaining continues to fill the air of the city • Pay respect to the Goddess of the Sea at Thien Hau • Try some of the local snacks and dishes, unique to Vietnam
