    It is a unique experience even though I didn’t find too many books in English language. There are shops and shops of books and cafes where you could sit and read while sipping a coffee or a juice. There is a second hand English book store where I have found many interesting titles. I love walking down the book street any day.

    Initially I thought I was in the wrong place. A lady had to point me to the stairs at the back of the temple. Keep climbing till you reach the Buddha at the top, it’s worth it

    I am so glad I was able to visit this wonderful gallery. It is not big but an amazing and well appointed space for the display of exciting works by Vietnamese artists.

    The outstanding Women’s Museum in Hanoi left a lasting impression on me. So I had high expectations for this museum in Ho Chi Minh City, but I was quite underwhelmed with this one.
    Part of the reason is that it appears to be under renovation, and only part of the first floor is open to the public.
    And that probably reflects the ticket price – – free.
    If you get a chance to tour the Women’s Museum in Hanoi, don’t pass it up!

    Had an amazing High Tea and was one of the best I have experienced. The owner and host was originally from Canberra Australia. Food was delicious and plentiful at a reasonable cost. Atmosphere and decor interesting, can highly recommend especially if you are an Aussie traveller in Saigon.
    Cheers Steve

    Had the stone massage which was amazing. We couldn’t believe how our masseuses had so much finger strength, they did a thorough job leaving both my boyfriend and me very relaxed. Great value for money and a very welcoming experience!
