Top 10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Vietnam's bustling largest city sets the cultural and economic pace for the country. The former Saigon boasts charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards, usually thronged and choked with traffic. Taxis are an option for seeing the sprawling city. The War Remnants Museum shows the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes. Don't miss the impressive Jade Emperor Pagoda. Go to the frenetic Ben Thanh Market for food, flowers or frogs. Tour through the Mekong Delta, past rice paddies and houseboats.

We went to the tunnel today. It was quite quiet and we spent a lot of time inside the actual tunnel. The local guide was nice to take pictures for us and show us around. The exhibition is well displayed and maintained. Overall a great experience!

From the city centre, we took a taxi to the Buu Long (Buddhist) Temple (and just before that, we also stopped by a Vietnamese Chinese Temple). We spent about 30 minutes in and around the temple complex, but the temple itself was closed for viewing during out visit. It was certainly worthwhile making the one hour's journey by taxi from the city centre to the Buu Long (Buddhist) Temple.

Also known as the Tortoise Pagoda, this figurine-filled place of worship is considered by many to be Saigon’s finest.

This was a very interesting place to visit (part of city highlights tour). Our guide explained many interesting facts such as how it is both a Tao and Buddhist place of worship. We would never have found this place ourselves and wasn’t on our must visit places but if you see it as part of a tour don’t be disappointed.
