As one of must-come​ destinations of any Mekong Delta tours, Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City has become a home of a lot of fancy experience that tourists once coming here must try with their friends, such as:

1. Wandering​ on the East-West Boulevard

It can be said, East-West boulevard is one of the most beautiful streets in Saigon at night. Prolonged from Cat Lai junction to National Highway 1A, this place always looks brilliant at night. This straight road will be an interesting choice for those who want to have some time with friends, or simply, wander alone and watch the bustling car line.

2. Enjoying​ “Street Coffee”

Located next to Notre Dame Cathedral, 30/4 park is the meeting place of Saigon youth. Here, you will not drink coffee on tables like in the coffee shops or cafes, but instead of that, you can enjoy the natural cool breezes, admire people walking around, or sometimes listen to a melody from a underground music band,… while sipping a glass of iced coffee.
