Enjoy a one-day trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Day 1 of my 5-night trip to Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳

I took a flight that departed at 2 AM Japan time and arrived just before 6 AM!

Immigration went smoothly, and I was in Ho Chi Minh City by 8 AM.

Note 1:
Make sure to take a Grab or a taxi via the airport information center from the airport to the city!
Taking a taxi on the street can be ridiculously expensive.

After checking my luggage at the Majestic Saigon Hotel, I took a break with a delicious welcome drink.

Next, I headed to Pho Hoa, famous for its pho. Starting at VND 90,000, it was very affordable!

My first taste of Vietnamese food was truly satisfying!

From there, I headed to the Saigon Central Post Office.
I walked around Tan Dinh Church and snapped a few photos.

In the afternoon, I headed to the chaotic amusement park, Suoi Tien Park!
It's so huge!
I don't really get it! There were no people around!

I'll talk about Suoi Tien Park in another post!
