  • The Venerable Thich Quang Duc Monument
    On June 11, 1963, Thich Quang Duc rode to Saigon from the war-torn city of Huế in an Austin Westminster. He stepped out of the baby blue automobile onto a busy intersection and sat calmly in the lotus position while a colleague poured gasoline from a five-gallon container over his head. Surrounded by a circle of protesters, burned himself to death. He described his intentions in a final note: “I respectfully plead to President Ngo Dinh Diem to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally.” In 2010, a memorial, displaying the monk wreathed in flames, was installed on the very corner where he died a half century before. Prior to the statue, which sits in front of a bas-relief depicting the powerful action, American journalist Malcolm Browne’s photographs were the most accessible reminders of the event.

  • Banh xeo, also known as Vietnamese sizzling pancakes, is a traditional dish that is affordable for all walks of life. It is gaining popularity on the Vietnamese culinary map and is recommended as a must-try dish for anyone visiting the country. Although banh xeo can vary in shape and size depending on its origin, it generally strikes a perfect balance between yin and yang in its cooking and eating.

  • As we cross into District 5 (Chinatown), hold on tight as our Jeep merges into the legendary Nguyen Trai Street. Known as the busiest fashion corridor in the city, this street comes alive at night with an electric energy that you have to see to believe. From your open-air seat, you are instantly immersed in a "river of lights." Hundreds of neon signs from clothing shops, shoe stores, and sidewalks vendors create a kaleidoscope of colors flashing by. You are not just watching the traffic; you are part of it. Surrounded by a sea of motorbikes, you will feel the true pulse of Saigon's nightlife—chaotic, loud, and incredibly vibrant. This is the ultimate "urban safari" experience. Witnessing the hustle of locals shopping, the endless flow of vehicles, and the glowing lantern decorations of Chinatown creates a mesmerizing visual spectacle that looks like a scene from a cyberpunk movie.

  • Get ready for a rush of adrenaline as we descend 27 meters below the water’s surface into the Saigon River Tunnel—a modern engineering marvel connecting the old city with the new. Riding in an open-air Jeep makes this experience completely unique compared to a standard car or bus. As we enter the glowing tube, the sound of the Jeep’s engine amplifies, echoing off the concrete walls to create a powerful, thrilling roar that you can physically feel. The futuristic amber lights whizzing by create a "sci-fi" atmosphere, making you feel like the star of an action movie. The best part is the finale: The "Light at the end of the tunnel." As we burst out from the underground depth back into the open night air, the sparkling skyline of District 1 suddenly reveals itself right before your eyes. It is a stunning visual contrast—from the enclosed intensity of the tunnel to the wide, glittering panorama of the city center. (pass by)
  • Prepare for the most cinematic moment of your night! As our open-air US Jeep roars onto the Ba Son Bridge (Thu Thiem 2), you will feel like you are flying over the Saigon River. This is the absolute best vantage point to see the city’s transformation. With no windows to block your view, you are treated to a breathtaking 360-degree panorama. To your left, the glittering skyline of historic District 1 shines bright with the iconic Bitexco Financial Tower. To your right, the futuristic Landmark 81 pierces the night sky, reflecting its dazzling lights onto the dark water below. Feel the cool river breeze rushing through your hair and the adrenaline of the ride as we cruise along the bridge’s artistic illuminated cables. It is not just a transfer; it is a front-row seat to the spectacular light show of modern Ho Chi Minh City. Don’t forget to have your camera ready—this is the "money shot" of the entire trip!
