This morning, begin your exploration of Ho Chi Minh City’s key landmarks: Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, Reunification Palace, and War Remnants Museum. These iconic sites provide a window into Vietnam’s colonial legacy and wartime past.

Afterward, enjoy lunch in Cholon, Saigon’s vibrant Chinatown district, known for its blend of Vietnamese and Chinese cultures. Here, you’ll dive into the hidden heart of Saigon — far from the skyscrapers.

In the afternoon, explore the historical heart of Cholon:

• Soai Kinh Lam fabric market – a paradise of textiles and colors, where local tailors source their finest materials
• Thien Hau Temple – one of the oldest and most atmospheric Chinese temples in Saigon, dedicated to the sea goddess
• Binh Tay Market – a bustling trading hub filled with spices, dried goods, and everyday life
• Traditional medicine street – lined with herbal shops selling dried roots, leaves, and remedies used for generations

To end the day, step into a peaceful calligraphy studio where a local “Thư Pháp” master will guide you through the ancient art of Vietnamese brush calligraphy. Learn how to hold the brush, understand the meanings behind the strokes, and create your own artwork to take home — a unique cultural souvenir with your name or a meaningful word written in beautiful flowing ink.
