Field-tested travel guide! Super detailed routes🗺️, attraction introductions, and food recommendations! [Praise][Praise][Praise]
——Attractions——
[One]【War Remnants Museum】Commemorates the Vietnam War, with several planes and tanks outdoors. The indoor photos are quite graphic and gory, very impactful!
[Two]【Reunification Palace】Independence Palace, former presidential palace, open for interior visits. Don’t think it’s just about ornate meeting halls and large gardens; the basement was a military command center.
[Three]【Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral】Said to be modeled after the design of Notre-Dame in Paris, but unfortunately, it’s always under renovation.
[Four]【Central Post Office】A post office with a century of history, typical European-style architecture, still in use as a post office. You can buy postcards and stamps here.
[Five]【Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum】Most people come here for photos, only a few rooms have air conditioning, so it can get quite stuffy.
[Six]【Pham Ngu Lao Street】A street that might be more lively at night, really quiet during the day.
[Seven]【Ben Thanh Market】A large market (somewhat like a farmers’ market), lots of coffee sellers. If you love coffee and know your stuff, you can try hunting for some good finds here!
[Eight]【Ho Chi Minh City Hall】French colonial building, not open for tours, with a street of luxury shops in front.
[Nine]【The Cafe Apartment】An entire building filled with cafes, each with its sign hanging on the exterior, quite unique.
——Specialty Foods——
🍫🍫Maison Marou Chocolate Café: Marou chocolate, available in major supermarkets, a brand dessert shop, known for freshly made chocolate desserts, both beautiful and delicious!
☕☕Eggyolk Coffee: Specializes in egg coffee, with finely and elegantly prepared coffee. You can choose to add one or two eggs. If you like sweets, definitely go for two eggs, it’s delicious!
🍞🍞Bang Mi Huynh Hoa: A very famous banh mi shop in Ho Chi Minh City (salty meat-filled). There’s usually a long queue, feeling like you’d need to wait for an hour, too much time investment, so I didn’t get to try it.
The banh mi from other local eateries tasted pretty good too.

This walking tour sounds intense but so informative! I’d love to see the War Remnants Museum and learn more about the war history.
