Unique 'storytelling' architectural works

Many architectural works become symbols when referring to tourism in Ho Chi Minh City.

Exploit the advantage

After 3 times of organization, the program to visit the national architectural and artistic relic of the headquarters of the People's Council - People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has attracted nearly 5,000 visitors, of which the number of visitors from localities and international visitors registering to visit is increasing.

Most tourists were excited and delighted to visit the over 100-year-old architectural work, learn about the city's history and hope that the headquarters will continue to be open for more tourists to visit. The leaders of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Tourism assessed that this is an opportunity for the city to introduce new tourism programs to learn about its historical and cultural works.

Recently, tours of the inner city and cultural and historical destinations in Ho Chi Minh City have received the attention of many locals and domestic and foreign tourists. Familiar destinations and short tours of 2 hours and half a day are also the choice of tourists, especially families and young people.

Taking advantage of the available potential through works marking historical milestones, Vietluxtour Travel has collaborated with District 1 People's Committee to launch the "Vivid Saigon" tour from August 2022. The tour route takes visitors through famous architectural works such as: City Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, InterContinental Hotel, City Theater, admire the ancient architecture of the headquarters of the People's Council - People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, Ben Bach Dang Park, Thu Ngu flagpole...

At Saigontourist Travel, the 1-day "Saigon Heritage of a Hundred Years" tour also takes visitors to visit famous buildings in the central area and to Cho Lon area with assembly halls and temples recognized as national architectural and artistic relics of the Chinese community after nearly 300 years of existence.

According to Mr. Pham Anh Vu, Communications Director of Viet Tourism Joint Stock Company, Ho Chi Minh City's announcement of 366 historical and cultural relic sites is a great potential for developing inner-city tours, especially half-day to 1-day tours.

Impressed by the friendliness

After the tour of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council - People's Committee headquarters, Mr. Le Mau Hiep emotionally wrote in the guestbook: "As a citizen of Ho Chi Minh City, I am very honored to visit this national historical site... I am moved when the city leaders create conditions for people to interact and visit, creating feelings of closeness, solidarity, adding energy and motivation to work together, build and develop the city to become more and more beautiful, affectionate and modern".

Arriving at Tan Son Nhat airport to prepare to return home after a tour of Ho Chi Minh City organized by Vietravel, Ms. Saritha Krishna (an Indian tourist) sadly said goodbye to the tour guide: "Your kindness and friendliness really made our trip unforgettable. Your extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the city helped us learn more. We look forward to returning to Ho Chi Minh City."

Along with the female tourist, many people also recorded their memories of traveling to Ho Chi Minh City by checking in at famous architectural works of the city.
