Sights to See in Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia's most precious gems. The experience is not complete without an adventure in Ho Chi Minh (previously Saigon). This bustling and ever-so-interesting city is filled with places that are sure to give you a good time. If your Kosher cruise takes you here, make sure to stop by at these places:

As the most popular market in the city, Bến Thành Market is an obligatory experience. Everything you would ever want from an urban tourist experience is here - shoes, backpacks, and Vietnamese coffee! And these items aren’t even the most interesting part to look forward to. The bargaining game can be a fun way to engage with local street vendors. It is part of the Bến Thành experience.

If you're looking for a sanctuary, the Giác Lâm Pagoda is the perfect destination to go to. Adorned with dragons in the entrance, this spectacular Buddhist pagoda houses 112 historic handcrafted statues. It is believed to be the oldest temple in Ho Chi Minh City. Rich in culture and history, Giác Lâm Pagoda’s design has aspects of both Taoism and Confucianism. There is so much to learn from a visit here.

If you love green spaces, you will love Tao Dan Park. This remarkable park contains several tropical trees such as flame trees, Sao Den trees, and So Khi trees. It’s a breath of fresh air from the busy and bustling modern life, and a fresh attraction when you’re in Ho Chi Minh. Part of the experience is the Bird Cafe, where gorgeous birds housed in cages are hung from metal sculptures for people to see. An adventure with nature is just what you will need to cap off a visit to this wonderful city.

Can’t wait to see these attractions? Book a Vietnam-Cambodia Kosher cruise! Kosher touring in Southeast Asia is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
