It's former name is Saigon. It is the largest city in Vietnam.
Honestly, i can barely remember their airport. And I was surprised when I saw that their airport is nice. Clean, simple, new, it looks like a small version of Changi airport to me.
We took the half day city tour for our first day to explore the city.
 |
| Ho Chi Minh City Hall - This is a good place to take a photo. It's like as if you're in Europe. |
 |
| Emperor Jade Pagoda or Tortoise Pagoda - There's a lot of statues inside. Big and small. It's dark inside and you can smell the incense. |
Next stop, we went to this place where handicrafts are made.
 |
| See this board? This is how it's done. It's pretty impressive actually. Everything is hand made. |
Here are the sample products.
I thought of making them as my wallpaper. They're very beautiful!
 |
| Reunification Palace - this was the site where the Vietnam War has ended. A tank crashed through its gates. |
 |
| Notre Dame Cathedral |
 |
| The Post Office - It really looks like a structure in Europe. |
 |
| I think there are ATM machines inside these small rooms. |
 |
| Ho Chi Minh is the man on the picture |
 |
| Thich Quang Duc - he was a buddhist monk who burned himself to death to protest against the raping of buddhists. |
Our city tour ended on this big boat in Saigon River where they served us dinner. One thing that I love in Vietnam is the food. So even though I was not very happy with our tour, all were gone after eating dinner. lols.
