Twenty reasons to visit Ho Chi Minh City

1 Cheap eats

Ho Chi Minh City (also still called Saigon) is famous for its pho (traditional Vietnamese noodle soup) and pork rolls. Often the best places are shops and stalls named after family members, such as "Aunty" or "Chi" (meaning sister) followed by a number representing their order in the family and, finally, their name. Though many chains, such as Pho24 and Pho 2000, do big business these days, you can't beat family-run outfits for the real deal.

Dam Sen water park - Ho Chi Minh City guide

Dam Sen water park

It's the biggest water park of HCMC. (There are not many water parks in the city). Vietnamese, espcially children and teenagers love to go to water park. Just imagine in a super duper hot summer day in Saigon, where would you go?

It's extra awesome that you can enjoy water park with your friends.

Ticket price is 6-7 USD/person.
