Just got back from a whirlwind city walk through Vietnam and Guangyuan šļøš¦ļø. Trust me, even if clouds were rolling in, thereās SO much character to uncover. My favorite spot? The Office bar in Ho Chi Minh Cityāwith its pulsing red neon and vibrant scene, itās the perfect blend of Western cool and Vietnamese energy.
Must-See Places:
1. The Office Bar (Saigon): 152 Pasteur, Ben Nghe, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. Open daily from 5pm till late. Try a classic cocktailābartenders are super friendly! The neon signage gives you insta-ready pics even on a rainy night.
2. Pasteur Street: Stroll the historic lane, dotted with Western-style architecture, French colonial facades, and quirky outdoor art installations. If itās drizzly, duck into local cafes for strong Vietnamese coffee.
3. Nguyen Hue Walking Street: Huge pedestrian boulevard surrounded by modern skyscrapers and bustling local life. Even when the weather turns, the wide open spaces and lively vibe make it fun for walking.
Personal Tips:
Rainy/cloudy days = fewer crowds! Carry a compact umbrella and embrace the moody cityscape for unique snaps. Western-style bars are great for meeting expats and picking up insider local tips. Always keep cash handy; many small spots donāt accept cards.
Getting Around:
Use Grab for quick rides in Vietnam or walk whenever you canāhidden alleys reward explorers!
Food Hack:
In Saigon, seek out banh mi stands along Pasteur Streetāfast, cheap, and always tasty.
Best Weather Trick:
Pack a light rain jacket and enjoy the ambiance⦠a little drizzle makes the city glisten!
