✅Pink Church (Nhà thờ Giáo xứ Tân Định)
The pink walls give a very warm feeling; the best spot for taking photos is on the 3rd floor balcony of the opposite restaurant (Ola Hale Restaurant & Bar), and their smoothies are also very good.

✅Saigon Central Post Office
Full name “Saigon Central Post Office”, buy your postcards, and purchase stamps on the left (there might be a queue), the stamp price is 29,500 VND, but they will charge 30,000 VND (note: no change given)! After sticking the stamp, just put the postcard in their box; opening hours ⏰ Monday to Saturday 07:30-18:00, Sunday 08:00-17:00.

✅Ho Chi Minh City Hall
Reserve for a visit on the last weekend of each month! After a successful reservation, you can visit for free at the designated time.
✅Municipal Theatre
An exterior sight, as you cannot enter unless attending a performance! No photography allowed during performances!
✅Café Apartment
A former apartment building turned into a tourist attraction, you can take photos from the street; if you go inside, the elevator costs 3,000 VND, but the owner of a specific café will refund the elevator fee if you make a purchase.

✅Internet-famous Chocolate (Maison Marou Saigon)
One of the most famous chocolates in Vietnam, it has a slightly sour taste due to the retention of the original cocoa flavor, even the milk chocolate is sour! The price is a bit high, but still acceptable, around 150,000 VND for dark chocolate.
✅Bitexco Financial Tower Observation Deck
Bitexco Financial Tower, one of the landmarks of Ho Chi Minh, the observation deck is on the 49th floor, offering a view over the city and the Saigon River; ticket price 240,000 VND (around 61 RMB on a certain group-buying site).

✅Fine Arts Museum
Very charming style, but surprisingly no air conditioning! Tip: Only the room with national treasure paintings has air conditioning! None of the others do. There is also a rumor about this house! Remember to search for it, ladies!
✅Ben Thanh Market
A treasure trove of a general market, all kinds of things can be found here, the downside is that it’s quite stuffy inside!

✅Pham Ngu Lao Street
A paradise for men, known for its lively nightlife.
