Saigon, beside the “must-see” sites in the colonial quarter and some museums, it also keeps the hidden charm in its suburbs. Although being affected by urbanization, district 9 has still some interesting sites to visit like Tam Da lotus pond, Hoi Son ancient Mahayana pagoda, Buu Long Theravada pagoda and “Ao Dai” museum where you will find out the hidden charms of this rich land.
We begin the day with a visit at Thi Nghe market, an ancient market of 200 years old in Saigon. You will feel a real life of Saigon where the smiles are present on slips of local people during your sidewalks of the surrounding streets.
Transfer to district 9, stop at Tam Da lotus pond to visit and take the very nice photos with this “Vietnamese national flowers”.

Vietnamese Ao Dai won the award of "Best Traditional Costume" at the International Beauty Contest in Tokyo in 1995, and influenced fashion cities like Paris, New York, Milan,...
