Art lover’s must visit in Ho Chi Minh city
This museum showcases a stunning collection of Vietnamese modern art, including paintings by renowned artists like Nguyen Gia Tri, and hidden female painters like Le Thi Luu.
The french influenced colorful colonial-era architecture adds charm, while every corner of the museum features Vietnamese paintings, sculptures, and culture.
The place is serene and uncrowded, which makes it perfect for art enthusiasts. I will return for the rich cultural insight and the chance to meet evocative works by pioneering Vietnamese female artists.

Book Street, Ho Chi Minh City
Another relaxing place in Ho Chi Minh City is Book Street. The atmosphere is shady and pleasant. It's not just Vietnamese books available here; there's quite a variety. Plus, there are plenty of postcards to choose from and send as souvenirs. The post office is right next to the alley. Or you can just relax, pick up a book, and read. It's a great place to unwind.
Independence Palace
#asiatrip
Independence Palace, also known as Reunification Palace, is a must-visit landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. This historic site played a crucial role during the Vietnam War, famously marking the end of the conflict when a North Vietnamese tank crashed through its gates on April 30, 1975. The palace’s architecture is a blend of traditional Vietnamese and modernist styles, offering a glimpse into the past with its preserved state rooms and war command bunkers. The surrounding gardens provide a peaceful contrast to the palace’s storied history. A visit here offers a profound insight into Vietnam’s journey towards reunification. #IndependencePalace #HoChiMinhCity #Vietnam
HCMC trip as a Hanoian, why not?
It’s only my second time in HCMC and regrettably it was quite short again, but I had fun exploring new cafes and restaurants I was never able to try out before. The weather was quite a let down but I love the place. The city is so robust and dynamic, it’s always changing, always something new under development. Once the skytrain system is finished, I bet it’ll be any different from Bangkok 😆

🇻🇳 HCMC Water Puppet Show
#folkactivities #100WaysOfTravel
I have been to Ho Chi Minh city many times but this my first time coming to a water puppet show. This is one of the top tourist attractions to do in HCMC and it is an old traditional art performance. The show talks about the culture and heritage using the puppets controlled by humans submerged inside water. You can find tickets to Golden Dragon Water Puppet show. It does get somewhat boring after a while watching this show but try to watch it with an open mind and appreciate the hard work. This show is about 45 minutes and it is great to be able to enjoy traditional performances.

Beautiful design
I loved the way barista collective was put together with those antique and rustic vibes. These old, almost heritage like buildings have such a beautiful quality to them. The interior is sleek and contemporary, with an open layout that allows you to see the baristas at work, emphasizing the café’s focus on transparency and the art of coffee making.
The staff is highly skilled and knowledgeable, always ready to share their passion for coffee and recommend the perfect drink to suit your taste. In addition to coffee, the café also offers a selection of pastries and light bites, making it a great spot for a quick breakfast, an afternoon break, or a casual meetup with friends.

🪩 Bui Vien Walking Street
#nightlife #100WaysOfTravel
A busy street in HCMC district 1 and the music is loud. Anyone can come here including children but if you want to drink then you have to be of legal age. There are also many dancing platforms to lure you into their bars and restaurants. There are also many street food hawkers and buskers trying to gain your attention too. It is better to be safe and take care of your belongings here. You will also see policemen passing by and when it happens, the staff will remove the makeshift tables and chairs on the street but place it back once after the police passed by. The bahi mi selling on this street is yummy and they roast it on the spot too.

Here is the one I went to:
Address - 📍Trung Nguyen Legend Cafe Van Chiem
Ambiance - warm and relaxing
Highlights - Sang Tao coffee
Avg. Price per Person - 45.000 VND and more
