One day trip in Ho Chi Minh City

One day trip to another country that doesn't share the border with your homeland sounds a bit ridiculous, but it is doable! Although my original plan is to mainly visit my friends, it wasn't too difficult to do some sightseeing along the way. So here's what I did during my trip to HCMC! 1) Visit cafe and coffee shops: There are so many cafes scatter around the city, you can try the famous coconut coffee! I also visit a very cute Japanese cafe in the afternoon to rest from the scorching hot weather. 2) Visit Ben Thanh market: It's a good place to see the variety of local products. 3) Try Vietnamese food: It's a MUST 4) Stop by and get Vietnamese chocolate as a souvenir at Alluvia: They offer various kind of chocolate. The packaging is so beautiful and will make a good souvenir 5) Visit the Independence Palace: A place where you can learn a bit about modern Vietnamese History. #hochiminh #vietnam #cafe
