- Looking for an adventure in Saigon? These are Saigon's hidden gems that most tourists don't know about.
We start off with a visit to the Thich Quang Duc Memorial, a powerful monument commemorating the Buddhist monk who famously self-immolated to protest the Vietnam War. Then, we dive into the history of the Vietnam War and explore the reasons behind the split between North and South Vietnam.
Next, we take you to the Saigon Secret Weapons Bunker, a fascinating relic of the Vietnam War that's often overlooked by tourists. You'll be amazed by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Vietnamese people during this turbulent time in history.
After that, we visit the Cheo Leo Cafe, a hidden gem that's beloved by locals for its authentic Vietnamese coffee and traditional music performances. We'll also give you tips on what to wear in Saigon to stay comfortable in the city's hot and humid climate.
Then, we take you to the Former Barracks Apartment in Saigon, a unique residential complex that's been converted from former military barracks. You'll get a glimpse into the daily lives of Saigon residents and see how the city is evolving.
Finally, we end our journey with a visit to the Saigon Flower Market, a bustling local market that's perfect for picking up fresh flowers and experiencing the city's vibrant culture. And if you're taking a Saigon Free Walking Tour, we'll remind you to tip well to support the local guides who make these tours possible.
So if you're looking for an adventure in Saigon that's off the beaten path, be sure to check out this video!

Why don't you add Vietnamese subtitles?
Fantastic, thanks for the informative video
Great video Ayngelina, enjoying your videos so much.❤️🇨🇦
Thanks so much! 😊 Vietnam is a wonderful place
Such an interesting tour and video!! Saved for the future ❤ And love your pretty hat!
Oh thank you so much! I bought it there for $8. There are so many hats because you really need to shield your face from the sun.
Love all the history you provide in this video!
Only because of good guides!
Great video. Your tour was near where we were staying. Looking forward to your street food video.
I thought it might have been when you said you stayed in that district.
Chúc bạn có nhiều video clip hơn
Tôi có thêm ba video về Sài Gòn trên kênh và đang đi du lịch phía bắc bằng xe máy và sẽ có thêm mười video nữa, vì vậy hãy nhớ đăng ký
I'm afraid when I visit I won't leave! Where was it that Ho-Chi-Minh hid?😂 Great vid. You seem to have your rythym down there!
Thanks so much. I think the India videos are where I figured out a lot of things and I think they are my best. Here shooting on the fly with a walking tour others attended was tough but nana was such a great guide I was able to catch everything important… I hope. I’m not entirely sure where HCM hid but the central part of the country is highlands and one of the roads is called the HCM trail so that may be it.
@@ayngelina I'll just tell the villagers that you sent me!😁
Hello Ayngelina! Great walking tour, I'm with you, hiring guides in new countries! Is your pad a/c or fans? What about vegetarian food?
AC in every place I stayed, I think it’s the standard. And lots of vegetarian food in the cities, for those that eat egg it’s even easier but tofu is eaten by everyone so it’s also usually an option. If anything Alan complained of too much vegetables 🤣
🇻🇳 chúc chị chuyến đi vui vẻ hạnh phúc
Cảm ơn 😊
1:35 It's hủ tiếu Nam Vang (Phnom Penh). So it comes from Cambodia. You can find hủ tiếu Tàu (Chinese version) easy in district 5&6. Hủ tiếu is invented by Chinese-Vietnamese.
Thank you for the clarification
It is Chinese through and through, Hu Tieu Nam Vang was brought to Phnom Penh by the Teo Chew people, even the name Hu Tieu emphasis this origin of Wo Tiu . Later the dish brought over to Vietnam through Chinese and Vietnamese in Phnom Penh. If you studied Cambodian cuisines they eat with their hands like Thailand, India, Hu Tieu is not a soup dish, you can't eat with your free hands .
Makes sense as many of the dishes I see in Asia are variations of Chinese dishes with phonetic variations of the original spelling, when I heard Hu Tieu pronounced, it sounded a lot like kwetiau in Indonesia.
Thank you for the history about Vietnam. I will definitely look her up next time I am in Vietnam. I normally tip generously when I go on any tours in foreign countries but I cannot speak for other tourists who felt they are entitled for anything free and never tip the tour guides. I feel bad for the tour guides!
I am the same way, guides are well educated and have the experience to teach but also entertain. It's not an easy job.
the fllower market also know as cambodian market and turn into the night market.
Hi Ayngelina, can you organize offline in Saigon? Please.
I really hope so 😊
organize offline?
hủ tiếu that's you have tried from combodia not china, the Chinese version may from district 4.
Oh that’s very interesting! Thanks for the correction. What is the difference between the two versions?
@@ayngelina not sure, but the Chinese version always comes from an old Chinese stall with very iconic decoration and also with wonton(hoành thánh) and dried daikon(which is red) the Cambodian version has dried shallot and fried garlic the topping is kind a mix base on the owner.
Ok that’s similar to what I had and in Indonesia they call it kwetiau and Malaysia kwey teow
@@ayngelina chinese very where that's why :)
Yeah it was also interesting to see what I know as cakwe there the fried dough in soups I think they call quay. It’s interesting to see it adapted phonetically into different languages.
ok so i have to ask you. what are ur top 3 countries out of all the places you traveled so far considering only food, culture, safety?
In the world?
And my favourite to visit or where I would consider living?
@@ayngelina in the world. And consider living.
So I'm from the coast in Canada and always feel most at home near the ocean. I also need a place that is affordable, with good wifi so I can work and has a strong local culture. For that I think my top are Mexico and Vietnam. Throughout my travels here I was surprised Vietnam wasn't more popular because it ticks off a lot of boxes.
hope you comeback when the new visa comes.
Definitely the plan as two months wasn’t enough time and we missed most of the north
District #3 has the best authentic Vietnamese cuisines/dishes. Those apartments were built by the South after the 1968 Tet' Offensive battles all over Saigon. The people's homes were burnt down like a giant inferno. I used to live in this district when I was young. The government built the apartment complexes to accommodate those who had lost their homes from this disastrous attack from the Communist. I used to walk through there to visit some of my classmates there. These apartment complexes were well kept and cleaner than the current states. They look run downed, overpopulated, filthy, currently. Now people opened businesses, eateries in these apartments to self-sustain themselves as the country is growing so fast without the assistances of the Communist government.
Oh thanks for that perspective. I think when I return to Saigon I'll stay in District 3 so I can be closer to the food. But thanks for that bit of history!
I love Guru walk. I’ve had the best walking tours with them! Love your channel
Thanks so much! I used them again in Hoi An and shot a video about it because it was such a great tour!
So you threw away the pork?
Not at all
look at Korean same story but different ending :).
Oh I didn’t even think about that.
@@ayngelina 4 nation with the same characteristics china vietnam Korean japan the only nation doesn't have problem with north and south is Japan :), china and taiwan also north and south.
*Promo SM* 😕
What does that mean?
what your Nation Baby?
Canada
@@ayngelina Oh ok my Mother in law she live Toronto
It's a great city, I lived there for 10 years
@@ayngelina Have U great time,and hope U have a VN guy is companionship!
Not really correct on the events that led up to the VN war and the large role that the US played in it but that’s ok. HCM actually approached the US for help achieving independence from the French colonial rule but the US inaction drove HCM to get help from Russia.
Oh thanks for the clarification!
@@ayngelina HCM led the war for independence against the French in 1945 right after the Japanese left and wrote in VN's independence declaration "“All men are born equal: the Creator has given us inviolable rights, life, liberty, and happiness." The US chose to back the French and adopt the Domino Theory foreign policy and the rest is history. A divided North and South VN was the result of the 1954 Geneva peace agreement after HCM's forces kicked the French's butt at Dien Bien Phu.
You expected Vietnam to open something new after 15 years personally for you?) Are they obliged to do that? This "tour" is quite a poor advice, seems like you do not know city well but just boasting
I love Vietnam but many people have pointed out that tourists often don’t come back for this reason. I don’t come for the sights but instead the food, yet it’s rare for a country’s largest city not to develop more tourism opportunities. Even Vietnams neighbours do this.
Sorry to say but your rendition of Vietnam's partition is pretty awful and incorrect. Do some research before posting. Cheers, OX
I’m sharing what my guide told me on the tour but I’m happy to hear corrections in the comments
Down Communism !
I believe they are actually Socialist now.
Hater just gonna hate, what a pathetic guy 😗
Come and get your second ass kicked.
Saigon not hocgimin
Thanks for the input
