Visiting this made me know Vietnam a bit more. Their history is rich and yet traumatizing to know. One of the brutal history I've ever known.
War Remnants Museum
This is where we got mostly of our souvenirs as most are cheap! From food to clothes, this is your go-to!
Ben Thanh Market
Architecture is stunning! You can check more souvenirs here but for us, this is where we got our stamps! There are a lot to choose from. You can send a post card from here as well.
Saigon Central Post Office
It's a short lane but all of was filled with books, arts and crafts, and many more stalls! It's where I got my little notepad and pins. It's so peaceful to walk here and it's just beside Saigon Central Post Office.
Ho Chi Minh City Book Street
If you want to know more about Vietnam, you can visit their Independence Palace. Perfect for a walk as well with its peaceful wide front.
