Stop At: Hana Tourist Vietnam, 172 Bui Vien Pham Ngu Lao Ward – District 1, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
In this city of almost 10 million, you have plenty of ways to spend your time and money. There are so many amazing excursions, tours and places vying for your dollars, so it could be difficult to stray off the tourist-beaten path, but it are worthwhile.
In Vietnam, the preferred mode of transportation for locals is a motorbike (which is ‘Xe Máy’ in Vietnamese). Some foreigners during their first days in this country shall not dare drive a motorcycle on the streets of Vietnam but that doesn’t mean they are not eager to get on the back of a bike.
We highly recommend that you book us for a night street food tour on motorbike. We shall dart through some pretty gnarly traffic as we made our way from one delectable food stall to another.
You shall definitely be weighing down the back of the bike more at the end of the evening than at the start!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Nguyen Hue Street, Nguyen Hue, Ho Chi Minh City 70000 Vietnam
Hana Tourist is proud to be the only operator in town could take you on one of the top buildings on Nguyen Hue walking street. We don’t go up the sky bar where all are put in the ‘air-con box’; we go up the roof to get real fresh air.
From here, the customers can have a precious location to see the city itself from within. At sunset and night, everything is lit up by the lights. Under harshly hot weather condition in HCMC (Saigon), the view from our rooftop is truly an ideal place for not only the foreign travelers but also for the locals to escape the heat. Those customers with the photography hobbies shall find this destination in our tour as an ideal paradise. Have you ever wonder where to seat and have your cold drinks when it has to be on Nguyen Hue walking street but at the same time, this big square is crowded with people?

Bui Vien street is also called the “beer street” as there are a lot of beer restaurants here. From 7 p.m, this street is completely “transformed” into the hustle and bustle destination of Sai Gon.

Stop At: Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, Ho Thi Ky Ward 1, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
Ho Thi Ky is a wholesale market supplying flowers for both wholesale sellers in other markets or individuals wanting to buy flowers. There are many kinds of flowers in Ho Thi Ky Flower Market such as lilies, roses, daisies, lotuses, hydrangeas and so on, surrounding all four corners of the market that you actually feel like you’ve entered a colorful garden. These flowers come from Da Lat (a beautiful mountain city near central Vietnam), Mekong Delta (a vast maze of rivers and rice paddies in the southwest of Vietnam) and even from other countries. Indulge yourself in this maze of flowers while visiting Saigon. It is customary for locals to decorate their homes and businesses with these flowers so this market will be bustling during the night. There is a Cambodian Market inside – some more steps away and you will easily recognize the place without the address. Here is the place you could try several street foods of Vietnam and Cambodian.

Stop At: Binh Tay Market, 57 Thap Muoi, Ward 2, District 6, Ho Chi Minh City 700000 Vietnam
Binh Tay Market, constructed by the French in the 1880s, is located in the centre of Vietnam’s largest Chinatown district. Unlike Ben Thanh Market in District 1, this market mainly serves the local population with its extensive range of fresh fruits, vegetables, poultry, meat and seafood from regions across Vietnam.
Also known as Cholon Chinatown Market, Binh Tay Market occupies a two-storey building along Thap Moui Street. Travellers can also find an assortment of handicrafts, lacquerware, and textiles that are sold in bulk, though goods are not varied compared to other (more touristy) markets in downtown Hanoi. Along with the interesting historical and cultural aspect of Cholon, Binh Tay Market is great for experiencing the local lifestyle and sampling unique Vietnamese-Chinese delicacies.
