Visit Tan Dinh Church, Tan Dinh Market and War Memorial Museum in Ho Chi Minh

After staying in Ho Chi Minh for 3 days and 2 nights, I sorted out a one-day special forces route to avoid unnecessary detours. It basically covers the popular check-in attractions in Ho Chi Minh City and avoids pitfalls! Attached is a personal photo for camera reference!

1. Tan Dinh Church (Picture 2), a popular pink church. Many young ladies come to check in. It should be noted that there is an urn wall behind the statue of the Virgin Mary. It is recommended to respect the deceased when taking pictures;

2. Tan Dinh Market (Picture 3), about 3 minutes walk from Tan Dinh Church. It is a local grocery market, you can walk around and see. Many vendors do business with tourists, and the prices are inflated. It is not recommended to shop here;

3. War Memorial Museum (Pictures 4-5), which mainly tells how Vietnam resisted the invasion of the United States during the Vietnam War. There are a lot of realistic video materials and American equipment in the museum. The museum is not big and the visiting time is 20 minutes to 1 hour;

4. Reunification Palace/Independence Palace (Picture 6), the former presidential palace of France in Southeast Asia, you can enter the interior for a visit;

5. Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, also known as the Red Church (Picture 7), the church is still under renovation;

6. Ho Chi Minh City Central Post Office (Pictures 8-9), I think it is more appropriate to call it "Ho Chi Minh Official Cultural and Creative Center", the official postcards, stickers, and refrigerator magnets are relatively reasonably priced. The post office is not big. In addition to the "official store" in the center, there are some shops on both sides. The prices are much higher than the counter in the middle of the post office. Be careful to distinguish;

7. Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee (Picture 1 & Picture 10-Picture 11), there is a statue of Ho Chi Minh, the father of Vietnam, in the center of the square, one of the landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City;

8. Ho Chi Minh City Grand Theater (Picture 12-Picture 13), an exquisite French-style building, you can buy tickets to watch performances, and the interior decorative patterns and reliefs are also worth exploring;

9. Coffee Apartment (Picture 14), a commercial attraction transformed from an old apartment building. On the 4th floor, there is the internet celebrity canvas bag the eye studio. I think this is the only shop worth visiting in the whole building;

10. Financial Tower (Picture 15), "Avengers Tower" has come into reality. The 49th floor skydeck is currently the highest observation deck in Ho Chi Minh City, where you can see the skyline of Ho Chi Minh City;

11. Mariamman Hindu Temple (Picture 16), the only two Hindu temples in Ho Chi Minh City (the other one is not filmed, so it is not recommended to go);

12. Ho Chi Minh Weapon Bunker (Pictures 17-18), Google Maps search Secret Weapon Bunker in Saigon. It is in an alley. Be sure to pay attention to the tips on Google Maps. The one with a classic car parked at the door is a private coffee shop. There is only a basement without weapons and an additional fee. The store next to the parked car is a free attraction managed by the government! Be careful not to be fooled and spend money in vain! The staff will explain to you for free and guide you into the underground weapon bunker. There are basically no tourists and no reservation is required!

The above is the route planning. I wish you all a safe and happy time in Ho Chi Minh City~
