Day 1 - Ho Chi Minh City

Place Transport: Car
Meals: Lunch

In the morning you, will be picked up and you will visit The Notre Dame Cathedral was built between 1877 and 1883, this is one of the best examples of classical French colonial architecture. Remarkably, every stone used in its creation was shipped from France to Vietnam. Her two forty metre towers, topped with iron spires, still dominate the city’s skyline. Then we'll go to the Old Post Office which is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the country’s largest post office. After that, we'll take a look at the Opera House. Built in 1897 by French architect Ferret Eugene, the 800 seat Opera House was used as the home of the Lower House Assembly of South Vietnam after 1956. It was not until 1975 that it was again used for performances. The structure was restored in 1995. The Opera House is located on the historical Dong Khoi Street which is home to many boutiques and fine restaurants. Around the corners are the iconic Rex hotel and the beautiful Peoples’ Committee Building. Then, we'll visit the Reunification Palace. This is one of the most important buildings in the city. Here on April 30th 1975 the ‘American War’ officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam. You will have lunch at a local Vietnamese restaurant. In the afternoon, you will visit The War Remnants Museum which is formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes. This is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem’ exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine. After that, you will go to Thien Hau Pagoda. Located in Cholon- the city’s Chinatown, this pagoda is dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea. The most impressive features of this structure are the intricately friezes and the carved tableaus towards the front of the pagoda. The impressive incense coils in the interior also make for some great photos. Then, you'll take a Cholon Cyclo Tour. This is one of the best ways to observe street life in this vibrant commercial center. Enjoy a ride through the narrow streets and timeless street scenes as you soak up the atmosphere in comfort.
