Saigon, Vietnam: 23 Attractions to Do and See When You're There... watch the video below... #Vietnam #travel

5:50 - One of the best moments of my life so far - standing in the Post office with my family on my first day in Vietnam. We stood under the photo and took a picture underneath the Ho Chi Minh painting

I lived there for 8 years, and god I sometimes miss it. Now living in Kyoto Japan. There are things I really like here, but I miss the chaos of Saigon

I am Vietnamese and I have been living in Ho Chi Minh City for over 20 years. I really love your suggestion.

Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I was born in Vietnam and have visited it quite a few times..but I haven't been back in over 12 years. Seeing all the amazing places and foods makes me miss it even more. Thank you for letting me see how Vietnam has evolved so much. I love my country!!!

Love Vietnam from China 🇨🇳❤️🇻🇳So amazing country , people are very kind.

Saigon will always be in my heart because I was born there. Vietnamese people here are definitely diverse since they come from all cities of Vietnam. There are many unique places that one must see....I will be there in January because the weather will be cooler than the rest of the year....

As a person who comes from Sai Gon, I want to thank you for such an amazing video about Sai Gon.

Genuinely thanks for introducing my country to the world with so many beautiful words. Welcome to vietnam.

Vietnham is amazing and so western could not believe it! Hanoi is just so special aswell!

I like his calm and polite style. And for some reason he looks quite like the Singapore swimmer Schooling.

Thank you for introducing our beloved Sài Gòn to people around the world. It is so meaningful to me.

Thank you very much for making this video! I’ve been living in this city ever since I was born, so I really appreaciate you introducing foreign friends about our culture and history!

Last time I've been in Saigon was in 2003...lots of well known places...and so many new ones like the enlightened bridge and this huge tower.Street life is still the same: chaos but good street food at every single corner.Thank you for this video!

If you can afford the noisy and all the chaos of motorbike traffic then VN is really heaven for back-packers: beach, highland, adventure, culture in its bare format - no cosmetic, great landscape and WONDERFUL FOOD CULTURE!!!

Wow saigon has changed so much since i have been there for 7 years. Even my parents dont know that there are so many places to explore.

I'm from California and I just love Vietnam

I am a Vietnamese and I always visited Saigon every summer holliday school when I‘m a child. Even I had lived in Saigon around 2years before I go overseas for study but you are know more museum at Saigon than me !!! You did a good job Mr. What a amazing video ❤️

I live in Vietnam with my Vietnamese wife for approximately 10 ,I started youtube channel , got the idea from watching your channel but only in Vietnam and Thailand

Thank Mark, as a Saigon person I have to say that this video is really AWESOME, I love every single video you have made about our place. That experience is so real through the tourist eyes like you. We appreciate your work so much. Hope you will always get success and enjoy your admirable live.

I love that you include the local currency prices for everything from food to museums and attractions, very helpful...Keep up the good work.

It’s amazing how far Vietnam has come from such a scary terrifying place to live during the time of the Vietnam War, which wasn’t that long ago, to such a beautiful attraction in such a short time. That place literally used to be hell only just years ago

My ex-girlfriend's uncle drove me around this city few years ago. It was like a small tour so I wasn't able to see a lot, but still I can say it was a beautiful city.

I was visiting Saigon last week. and it was such an amazing experience. I visited the Chuchi Tunnel, the place which make the Vietnamese won over The US army, it was a great place to visit. hopefully, I can visit Saigon again next time.

Thank you so muchhhh for this video !! I just landed to HCM and I don't know anything about Vietnam yet ! This will help a lot :)

This is a very helpful video,Mark. I’m going back in January, 2023 for a month. Exploring the whole country and visiting Nha Trang where I served during the Vietnam war.

thanks. i was in Bangkok for 2 months earlier this year and it was thanks to your video that gave me loads of ideas for things to do and eat! i'm off to Saigon next week for the 1st time.

Well done Mark! The Vietnamese government's tourism department should pay you big bucks for producing such an outstanding video, making people want to go to Saigon!

Thank you bro....nice video I,m from East-Timor I,m very interesting with Vietnam....🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱 S.E.A....

Vietnam so beautiful and friendly. I hope you go to one again

Those were very beautiful and interesting places to see . The post office looked like a place I 'd love to see. I skipped on seeing Saigon when I visiting Vietnam but only because of my two week time limit there. I don't want to rush thru a city just to say I've been there. Now I'm thinking about heading back to Southeast Asia and I want to see Saigon. And I also want to say - the people of Vietnam are so very welcoming and charming. this video was really fantastic Mr. Mark !

To help some people: 20,000 VND is approximately 1 American dollar

Wow! I'm really impressed with this episode. It really feels like a full-fledged travel show at this length and you packed it with so much great content. The e-book takes it to the next level. Thank you, Mark. Really nice work. Very enlightening and entertaining.

I just got back from HCM and Hanoi. The traffic on the street is really crazy there. Crossing the road and riding on a grab were the experience I'll never forget. Food was delicious though!

I love Vietnam culture, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong love the vibe feel home.

thank you for your recommendations! I will be heading there this February for the first time so this was very useful there is one thing I'd like to comment and that is about the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden. Please avoid going to these areas and invest your money into donating to organisations that can rescue these poor babies. Even visiting these botanical gardens, you're still keeping that place alive. Zoos should be used for rehabilitation areas NOT for human amusement and entertainment ALONE!! It's disgusting to see these animals suffer in such a confinement and not cared for by experts.

thanks for your video. I find it useful though I'm living in Ho Chi Minh City. welcome to Vietnam, world friends!

Thx u for the great tour video, Mark. I was born in VN and left when I was 7 in 1975. The city has grown so much. Great tips on the city's landmarks. You have inspired me to go back. . The food looks so tantalizing. I can see that you enjoyed the food with those clips at the end. Safe travel to you.

been there only for two days, just only visited the Behn Tahn Market and the park, as most locals dont speak English, so thank you for this videos.... its a reason for me to get back after this pandemic..... YES INDEED, THEIR FOOD IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE... ty Mark Weins for this Vlog..... SEE YOU SOON HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM

amazing expression from mark when he tastes the food

I love you. I'm Vietnamese, Thanks for visitng my Saigon City.

I visited Vietnam last year from November-December. Saigon is the city that my mom, my second older sister and I stayed the longest when we're in Vietnam. (more than 6 days) :) Everywhere else was 2-4 days.

One of the BEST video about Saigon I've ever seen. It makes me miss home sooooo much. There are places in this video I've never been to, the musems for instance. Anyway, nice work!

I will be there this 22nd of may til 28. I am so excited.

I'm going to Vietnam in a week and I'm so excited! That food looks so good!

I was born here, It's the best place I've ever been in. All the foods, Amazing. I hope you all will be able to come someday.

I was in in Saigon last december 26 2018 and also January 2019. I love the night market and its food street.

Im in Vietnam ho chi minh right now. thank you for this video

Loved this video so much. I visited earlier this year and really had a great time there. And the food was just an amazing experience in itself.

It's me Anik from Bangladesh. I love Vietnam. I wish to visit Vietnam as soon as possible. such a lovely country

Your videos are awesome! thanks for sharing your passion. We love Vietnam and the food there is to die for. We spent 16 days there when we last traveled. The food states so fresh and the people were so welcoming.

I'm born and raised in Saigon ,then left there when I'm 21.

I was in HCMC last month (July). I visited some of the sites in this video. I did get a chance to ride on the back of a scooter with some friends coming along on theirs. It was really an adventurous experience for someone who is not into riding on scooters. I find going around the round about to be very daring and I'm happy to report that I survived it. I know where I live people would be constantly run over if they had to ride in traffic like that. Crossing the street is really like having the heart of a lion. It takes courage. But from what I heard you have to cross slowly without trying to walk fast that way they go around you. I just think they should make it a little bit easier to visit Vietnam without all those issues getting a visa. I read that the U.S. government complained about the changes in prices for the visa fee. It can vary depending where you get it. The price is not consistent. I think Vietnam would do its tourism a big favor if they do like Thailand and just allow people to show up and give them 21 days right off the bat. It's easy to visit a place if you don't have to worry about time lines and other issues like you can't show up before the visa date stated. When I was in Indonesia a volcano erupted and my travel agency sent me an e-mail because I had to go to Bali. I was thinking of maybe flying directly to Vietnam instead of Bali. But my visa for Vietnam only allowed me entry from a specific date. If I were going to Thailand (which I did in July also) arrival date would never be an issue. Someone ought to tell those legislators in Hanoi to change the law regarding visa entry for Americans.

Thank you for letting me know that I am Vietnamese you will see everything in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City it’s beautiful yeah

I am a vietnamese and I had lived in hochiminh city for more than 30 years until I came to America. But I had not knew all of these places until I saw this video. Ntth

This video is so helpful for me planning to visit Vietnam! Thanks a lot!

That's an awesome guide Mark Wiens ! We've been to Saigon (HCMC) a few times and done some of the things on your list; however, I really like that there are at least 7 things we haven't done before giving us a good reason to go back.

I love saigon one of my favorite cities in the whole world :) from vancouver canada

Fantastique, je suis ravie de retrouver mon passé et mes souvenirs merveilleux dans cette ville si sympathique...Merci...

Thank you so much Mark! Many people will follow your steps in Saigon and another cities as well :) Keep going on!

i want to go back so bad to see my family😭😭 it was o fun i went to almost everywhere u went to

Absolutely amazing city ! Just visited Saigon in early March 2019 and got to do visit most of the places in Mark's video.....excellent informative video ! Crossing the street can be very frightening at first, but then can be a completely exhilarating experience once you learn the rhythm of the traffic.Remember the Vietnam traffic lights :Green.....I can goYellow....I can goRed........I still can goThe Vietnamese people are so friendly and accommodating.....if we ever got lost, strangers would be so nice in helping us out.We found Saigon to be much cleaner and modernized than Ha Noi. I think you got it wrong Nick.....this was a place well worth visiting on our bucket list !

So impressed, as a Vietnamese living in Sai Gon over 5 years I don't even know some place mentioned in this video

Vietnam land of food, history, and just food

Hi Mark! ^^ I really admire Vietnamese culture.❤ I plan to visit Saigon this summer. Which Vietnamese dish would you recommend?

Holy cow i thought this video was like last year or this January 😳 this was 9 years ago This Man was ahead of the Travel and Post game

i am Vietnamese. I thank you for bringing my country to the people of Hanoi city

Creating an e-book is such an amazing idea. Thank you for guiding us around Saigon!

Great video Mark! I love that you included A O Show for the Opera visit. You should include Cuc Gach :)

Mark I have watched this 2-3 times in order to take down all attractions when I will go to Ho Chi Minh City in 2020 Thank you Great video

Sightseeing places in Saigon: Saigon Notre Dame, Ben thanh Market, War remnants Museum, Independence Palace, Saigon Central post Office, Cu Chi Tunnels, Vinh Nghiem Pagoda, Bui vien, Pham ngu lao Street ....

Mark and Ying, Really enjoyed this video. Loved the architecture of the buildings and the history- thanks for filming. I am a history buff! Did not realize Vietnam was so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. :)

Hey Mark. I've watched parts of this before but I watched the whole vid tonight and it's outstanding. You did a great job with this. You can really get around !!

I have been here for almost 3 years, But I havent still discover half of ur cruise. Your videos are so useful and high quality. Love it!

Just got back from there, coming from that place back to my chill town is such a shock, I come back to Saigon again for sure.

another thing to do is trying to cross the streets in saigon without getting hit and killed

New subscriber here. Thanks for this video. I'm visiting Saigon on Friday 😍😍

This video helped me a lot in my travel to Saigon. Now I already uploaded my video about my journey to the historical HCMC!❤️

You are very generous in offering your free Ebook! I’ll be using it as my city guide in Saigon. There are numerous things I’ve got to see. Thanks!

Been there, amazing place to visit.

Great overview over the city! :) I wish there would be more videos like this about whole Vietnam. I have one question: is it possible to walk the main attractions by foot?

Thank you for bringing our country to the world. We love you so much!

I'm going to Vietnam next month. Now i'm so excited by all the recommendations you have shown. Thanks so much for this quick video of what to do. Very helpful :)

I'm in love with street food in Viet Nam

Awesome-Sauce!!!.... My favourite was number 23!! hehe Brought a tear to my eye, my dad lives in Vietnam, at least I know he eats well!!!

By far, the most helpful Ho Chi Minh city travel vlog. Thank you!

Thank you so much for made a video about VietNam.Wished you have good times 💗💗💗.Love from VietNam❤❤❤

I'm moving to HCMC next week! Thanks for the great intro to the city... you've definitely set the bar high with your videos Mark

Thank you for many many of good informations!! It will be so helpful for my traveling to Saigon!

Been here 4 times and I just love the place! So much to see, eat and do! Have visited most of the places you reviewed and will go to the others on my next trip. Great vid man! You've really captured the atmosphere of why HCM has a special place in my heart.

You showed us entire Saigon city in your video i really appreciate it , Thanks.

I had a bit of a stink eye towards vietnam because they were a communist north that invaded the south, meanwhile the whole point of the revolution against the french was to free the country, not split it in 2. They were communist because the communists werre the only ones to help, for their own selfish gains, and to use vietnam as a show of force to scare the west and capitalists and a battlefield they could fight on outside their own country. Meanwhile, vietnam was never meant to be communist. Ho Chi Min wasnt a 'communist'he was a man who wanted his country and his people free from the torturous colonialists, he did what he had to, and as far as communists were in that time, he was the best example, he should've been 'our' communist (though he was really a socialist more than a communist) He wasnt like the chinese and ussr communists, he was different, a decent guy that truly impressed me with his back story. Live long Vietnam, the memory Ho Chi Mihn left is truly an honourable one.

Thank you for this wonderful and helpful video 😍😍 love it

...Love, love your video Mark! You are the most genuine , kindest person, down to earth, most respectful person on earth!

He's got a nice smile , lovely and warm.

Welcome to Saigon 2019

YUMmy food I am in Veitnam lol and I'm Vietnamese :D

I've been to HCMC 2 years ago oneday i'll be back of that beautiful country when the pandemic ends🙏🙏

What a great video! I am making my first trip to Vietnam in October and trying to take a look at everything I can find. This is the best by far. And thanks for the free download books.
