Pham Ngu Lao
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Southeast Region

Pham Ngu Lao

7.1
4.5/5
798 reviews
When it comes to Ho Chi Minh City, no one is unaware of Pham Ngu Lao. Named after the Vietnamese national hero Pham Ngu Lao, the old street is just an ordinary road. What we commonly refer to as the old street is actually an area comprising Pham Ngu Lao and several surrounding roads, a paradise for backpackers. Here, the streets crisscross, with hotels of various grades and budget hostels scattered throughout the neighborhood. Along the roadside, you'll find a wide array of travel agencies, foreign currency redemption locations, restaurants of diverse cuisines, Western eateries, bars, cafes, and shops selling local specialty products—everything you could need. This is the old quarter of Ho Chi Minh City, where the daily life of ordinary people unfolds vividly before your eyes. Travelers of all skin colors can be seen here—some carrying backpacks while searching for accommodation on the streets, others strolling around after setting down their packs, and still others capturing the moment with their cameras. In short, every expression of a backpacker you'd hope to see can be found here. Meal Restaurants from around the world offer a rich variety of flavors. Here you can taste local snacks, and the delicious food from nearby street stalls is no less impressive than that of upscale restaurants. No wonder this place never sleeps—you can always find something tasty even in the middle of the night. You can try the coconut milkshake at Allez Boo, a blend of coconut juice, ice cubes, and milk, and even scoop out the coconut flesh with a small spoon. Alternatively, head to the eatery at the end of the old street for a bowl of beef meatball rice noodles paired with iced coffee—the unique taste is something only you can experience. Or, order a steamed beer crab at some obscure little shop; its thick, tender meat practically melts in your mouth, with an intoxicatingly fresh and sweet flavor. Don't miss the roadside rice skin snacks, available in various flavors—crispy and delicious. And for the girls, there's a variety of ice creams to enjoy, perfectly complemented by tropical fruits. Nightlife The midnight in the old quarter is even more brilliant with lights, and the night is enchanting. The shops on the old street are also the main shopping spots in Ho Chi Minh City. There are many tourist crafts here, allowing you to stroll slowly at night and carefully pick. At night, many sleepless backpackers come out to wander, looking for cafes, snack shops, and juice stalls, making it very lively.Ho Chi Minh City · 44.3 km from Go Cong Dong

Bui Vien Street is a lively spot to experience Ho Chi Minh City after dark! 🌃✨ Lots of restaurants, cafés, street food, and entertainment. Great for a fun evening walk and people-watching. 🇻🇳

You get a lot for this price. A brief vr experience (HTC vive headset), photo at the entrance and small open area where you could take photos without windows.

Had such a great experience with the Ho Chi Minh City Hop-On Hop-Off Bus! 🌃✨ Traveled with friends, and it was such a fun and affordable way to explore the city at night. Perfect for enjoying the city lights, taking in the views, and seeing HCMC from a different perspective. Great value for money, too! Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City. Would definitely book again! 🚌❤️

I joined a trip purchased via Trip.com to Cần Giờ, a coastal suburban district 50 km away from Saigon. It is home to Cần Giờ Mangrove Forest, a biosphere reserve listed by UNESCO. Rừng Sác, where the Viet Cong established base areas during the Vietnam War, is also located here. We left Saigon at 08:00 (I was the last passenger) and drove to Phà Bình Khánh (Bình Khánh Ferry Pier) and then rode a ferry across. We continued on and reached Cần Giờ at 10:00. Our guide paid for the tickets and then we walked in. There are two types of monkeys, the brown and the golden (yellowish) kinds. The former is mischievous and devious. Be careful of your belongings as they are bold enough to climb up and steal your glasses and caps. One member in our group had his water bottle taken from his shorts pocket. Our guide distributed some peanuts for us to feed the monkeys.After that, we went to see some salt-water crocodiles nearby. There are 16 crocodiles in the area and we saw four of them. On weekends, there are stalls selling fish to be fed to the crocodiles but there was no one selling fish when we went on a weekday.After that, we walked beneath the canopy of trees along the path and crossed some bridges to get to Rừng Sác War Zone area. The guide shared some historical background then we were free to explore the hints before taking a motorboat back to the entrance.We had lunch at a restaurant and were served seafood hotpot. The restaurant prepared vegetarian noodles for three o members of our group who were vegetarian. After lunch, we rested and I took the opportunity to explore the nearby seafood market.We left at 14:00 and headed back to Saigon. It was a comfortable trip and I enjoyed myself.
