Explore a high-rise temple hidden inside the busy heart of Chinatown. Walk through a wet market on the ground floor before heading upstairs for a unique local viewpoint.

Continue to Hao Sy Phuong, one of the oldest alleys in Chinatown, known for its 100-year-old community life. Meet local residents and learn how people live, work, and preserve their heritage in the middle of modern Saigon.

Drive through one of the city’s busiest local trading areas, where everything is sold — fruits, toys, cigarettes, clothes materials, motorbike parts, food, and more. Stop at a fruit market to taste seasonal tropical fruits.

Visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, a fascinating temple hidden inside a small alley in Chinatown.

Continue to Nguyen Thien Thuat old living quarter, one of the few remaining original-style residential areas in Saigon before high-rise buildings transformed the skyline. Take a short walk to feel the real pace of local daily life.
