Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theater

Quite amazing and cultural. Didn't realize how time went by. Very colourful and a bit funny. The dolls danced on water and conveyed Very good messages and gave a reflection of ancient Vietnam and it's stories. A bit costly but definitely worth a try

If you have been on one of these before then you will know what to expect. They are great to get round the city, sight see and learn a little about history. The auto Que can be a little behind at times but it’s not a problem. They have open top buses which we did find were quite busy at times and struggled for a seat but we ended up sitting downstairs with the aircon and the view was just as good. Tour guides on the buses are very helpful. We paid on trip and we found it is cheaper then at the desk.

Bitexco Financial Tower

The tower entrance is clearly marked and labeled as it has its own reception and elevator to the highest floor. The overall reception is very good and professional and gives you an elegant feel. If you enjoy over head views of city this sky deck gives a clear and perfect vantage point and 360 view of the city.

Pham Ngu Lao

AROUND THAILAND
The park near Ham Ngu Lao Road is calm, shady, clean, safe, there are many people running. There is a labyrinth stage for training and exercising in the garden as well.

Independence Palace

It feels like a museum of political symbols. People who don't know much about Vietnamese history won't have much resonance. There is still a difference in the humanities, history, thoughts, and degree of Westernization between South Vietnam and North Vietnam.

Landmark 81 SkyView

Landmark 81 is a skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City, the official opening took place on July 27, 2018. height - 461.2 meters; 81 floors; height of the observation deck - 382.7 meters; The building has different functional areas: residential areas, a shopping center, a hotel, an observation deck. The external outlines of the tower resemble a traditional bundle of bamboo - a Vietnamese symbol of unity, a talisman of happiness and prosperity.
