Legacies of Saigon @ Ho Chi Minh City

We start at an old wet market in the heart of the city and make our way to the riverside to hear tales of the French who established the neo-classical style buildings here in the early 1900’s. Admire the grand old architecture and learn about the early stock exchange and banks which gave this area the name “Wall Street of Saigon.”

Continue walking south along the river, passing more iconic landmarks. We explore a residential area where generations of Chinese families have made their homes. This is an interesting local community that is often overlooked and not as well-known as the busy and bustling Chinatown located in District 5. Pass by mansions that once belonged to wealthy Saigonese merchant families. See how one of the homes has been converted into an art museum and learn the stories of the people who once lived here.

Highlights
• See Ho Chi Minh City in a new light with tales of people and places you never knew before!
• Learn the history of the old riverfront buildings and Vietnam’s stock exchange
• Pass by mansions formerly owned by wealthy Saigonese merchant families
