If you don't know what to do in Ho Chi Minh City, try this quick Checklist and review:

1. ๐ƒ๐ข๐ง๐ก ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ: combo entrance ticket + electric car around the palace grounds, listen to audio introduction on the car 65k/person. There is an Audio Guide with headphones 90k but I don't recommend it much. Because there is quite little information and it is mostly the same as the text information at the points.

2. ๐๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ ๐๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ ๐๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ ๐๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ ๐๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ซ: Highly Recommend. Be mentally prepared because there are very real images inside. Bun Dau said "the first time I saw it". It is truly a museum for children to better understand the value of peace. 3. Hiking to Ho Chi Minh City: Free. From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city. Many interesting artifacts such as the candy that Uncle Ho gave to someone are preserved and displayed in the museum. ๐Ÿ™‚
4. Destination: Highly Recommend. I went to Ben Dinh area because it is closer to Ho Chi Minh City than Ben Duoc area. Ticket price is only 35k/person, you get a lot of experiences. Children are very impressed.
5. ๐‹๐š๐ง๐๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ค 3 & 4 ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐ˆ๐œ๐ž ๐‘๐ข๐ง๐ค: Sky View combo from the 81st floor of Landmark + VR experience + Free digital photo. If you need cheaper tickets at the counter, inbox me. Hanoi also has ice skating so no review. 6. Phuong Nam City (recommended by Mr. Bun): in here there is Phuong Nam City of Phuong Nam bookstore, which is very big and spacious, with a lot of English books.
7. ๐๐ก๐จ๐ซ ๐‡ ... 8. ๐‚๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐’๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐’๐ž๐ž๐ข๐ง๐  ๐’๐š๐ข๐ ๐จ๐ง: 150k/adult, 100k/child; double-decker bus to see the city at night, the lights are beautiful and sparkling, going over Ba Son bridge and looking up feels very fantasy and magical.
9. ๐’๐š๐ข๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐–๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ to see the river: very cheap. 15k/trip. Round trip 30k/person. Can go at night, but I went during the day.
10. ๐‚๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ - ๐‡๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ... 11. Zoo & Botanical Gardens: The zoo is near my accommodation so I went in for a walk to cool off. Then from here, walk to Ba Son Metro station. The sign says 600m but it took a long time to get there. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Deposit a day ticket for 7k. If you want to get a card as a souvenir, it costs 7k. ๐Ÿ™‚
12. ๐‚๐ก๐จฬ›ฬฃ ๐๐จฬ‚ฬ๐ง: my baby said there is everything
