As one of the most in your face and cocky cities in all of SE Asia (let alone Vietnam) Saigon is best described as functionally chaotic. Taking the time to properly explore the city is an absolute must. The following is a list of seven things to try before you leave the city limits:

1) Buy Quirky Travel Souvenirs

Vietnam has more quirky travel souvenirs than just about any other country I’ve ever visited. From Weasel coffee (that’s been pooped out) to snake wine this nation has it all. Come home armed with presents that will either shock or make your friends laugh out loud.

2) Visit the War Remnants Museum

The War Remnants museum is the most somber attraction on this list. The war itself was full of atrocities on both sides (although this museum is from the perspective of the north); however, it’s the gallery focused on ‘agent orange’ that really caught our attention.

3) Wander around Thien Hau Pagoda

This fascinating Buddhist temple is dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea. In the past, people came here to pray for a safe trip before embarking on a journey out to sea. These days it’s noteworthy for its incense burning and coils.

4) Binh Tay Market

If you’re looking to brush elbows with locals (and tourists) head over to Binh Tay Market for all of the mayhem you can handle. If this place doesn’t sell what you’re looking for it’s unlikely to exist anywhere else on earth.

5) Marvel at the Reunification Palace

The former Presidential Palace (now called the Reunification Palace) was once home to the President of South Vietnam. In April, 1975 this all changed when tanks from the north crashed through the gates. The premises have been left to look exactly the way it did many decades ago.

6) Visit Notre Dame Cathedral

This stunning Cathedral is a significant landmark in Saigon. Built with red bricks it really stands out and is right beside the General Post Office. Come on Sunday and you’ll be treated to mass.

7) Check out the General Post Office

Last but certainly not least, make sure to check out the General Post Office. Designed by Gustave Eiffel (that guy who built the Eiffel Tower) when Vietnam was under control of French Indochina, its got a classic timeless appeal:

Top attractions while visiting Saigon, Vietnam Travel Video

Hình du lịch này làm nổi bật những điều tốt nhất để làm khi đến thăm Sài Gòn cùng với tất cả các điểm tham quan trên cùng một khả năng cần cân nhắc khi đi du lịch, du lịch thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Việt Nam. Là một trong những hầu hết trong khuôn mặt của bạn và các thành phố tự mãn trong tất cả Đông Nam Á (cho một mình Việt Nam) Sài Gòn được mô tả tốt nhất như chức năng hỗn loạn. Dành thời gian để khám phá thành phố đúng là phải tuyệt đối. Sau đây là danh sách bảy điều để thử trước khi bạn rời khỏi giới hạn thành phố:

1) Mua đồ lưu niệm du lịch Quirky

Việt Nam có quà lưu niệm du lịch kỳ quặc hơn bất cứ nước nào khác tôi đã từng viếng thăm. Từ cà phê Weasel (đó là được pooped ra) để rượu rắn quốc gia này có tất cả. Về nhà được trang bị những món quà đó, hoặc sẽ gây sốc hoặc làm cho bạn bè của bạn cười phá lên.

2) Thăm Bảo tàng Chứng tích chiến tranh

Bảo tàng Chứng tích chiến tranh là điểm thu hút ảm đạm nhất trong danh sách này. Bản thân cuộc chiến đầy tàn bạo của cả hai bên (mặc dù bảo tàng này là từ quan điểm của phía Bắc), tuy nhiên, đó là bộ sưu tập tập trung vào “chất độc da cam” mà thực sự gây sự chú ý của chúng tôi.

3) Đi lang thang xung quanh chùa Thiên Hậu

4) chợ Bình Tây

5) Marvel tại Dinh Thống Nhất

6) thăm Nhà thờ Đức Bà

7) Kiểm tra các Tổng cục Bưu điện

The train from Lao Cai arrived in Hanoi at 5:00 a.m. which gave plenty of time to walk over to West Lake and watch people exercising. Tai Chi, running, walking, yoga, groups and individually designed exercise movements… Everyone doing their own thing.

It would be easy to spend days in Hanoi exploring the different sections, eating your way through typical Vietnamese cuisine, Tapas, pasta and luxury restaurants, shopping…shopping…shopping. Since we’d visited Hanoi twice before, just concentrated on the fun stuff…, .

{embedHtml, DXqeYtRH2jk, Mega Construction of Australia’s overland telegraph – The line linked Australia to the world, A Wire Through the Heart brings to life the epic story of constructing Australia’s overland telegraph. The two central characters are dramatically recreated, explorer John McDouall Stuart and scientist Charles Todd, and the film documents their extraordinary tales of adventure and engineering struggle.

Moments in Stuart’s magnificent journey from Adelaide to Australia’s north coast are brought to life – his journey with eleven men and 49 horses, an attack by Aborigines, desertion, the triumphant sighting of the Indian ocean and, ultimately, Stuart’s return to Adelaide carried on a horse-bound stretcher.
The films features Todd’s meticulous planning and supervision, ‘pole teams’ hard at work, the telegraph wire spreading like gossamer across the desert, and Todd’s moment of triumph – sending the first ‘wire’ through the heart of Australia.

The historical re-enactments are also complemented by documentary sequences including interviews with historians who tell stories about the early days of operation, tales of isolation and perseverance.

The dramatic narrative of A Wire Through the Heart is underscored by the stunning dry red landscape of the continent’s vast interior., .

Vietnam is an utter assault on the senses; at once dizzying, frenetic and fascinating. Conical-hatted street vendors sell their wares on the pavements outside gleaming high-rises and exquisite temples are surrounded by streets buzzing with thousands of motorbikes.

Wherever you travel you can’t fail to be intrigued by this frenetic, fascinating country. The capital Hanoi is the focus for arts in Vietnam and has been since its foundation in the year 1010 while in Ho Chi Minh City business is king. Hue is steeped in imperial history, Hoi An the place to soak up the atmosphere and the largely undeveloped coastline is the place to kick back.

Life in urban Vietnam is conducted on the streets. In bia hois (pavement pubs) men sup ice-cold beer and odours from makeshift food stalls fill the nostrils: see steaming pho, a noodle soup with various unidentifiable chunks of meat, or grilled chicken feet. Along nearly all the moped-clogged streets produce is sold. Tubs wriggle with live sturgeon, crabs and frogs (still a delicacy from French colonial days), baskets are top heavy with colourful and bizarre fruit, and every possible piece of a pig is on sale.

Rural Vietnam is entirely different. Just a short distance from the cities, water buffalo wallow in green rice paddies and elegant women wearing traditional conical headwear cycle along dusty paths.

Vietnam things to see and do
======================

Beautiful beaches
—————————–
The beaches of Vietnam are superb. Nha Trang is the perfect combination of a long sandy beach for relaxing days under the palm trees and a town with restaurants and bars to pass the balmy evenings. Boat trips take you out to nearby islands and divers can explore the nearby coral reefs. Alternatively, try Vung Tau, southeast of Ho Chi Minh City for some superb snorkelling around the many offshore islands or head east of Phan Thiet to the sand dunes of Mui Ne, which stretch for miles. Whatever your budget there’ll be a resort to suit you. Relax on the white-sand beaches or have a go at many of the water sports on offer.

Cao Dai Temple
————————-
Head out to Tay Ninh to view the colourful midday service of the intriguing Cao Dai sect held in a large temple almost Disney-esque in style. The followers wear red, blue and yellow robes and chant to the accompaniment of a traditional orchestra. En route, scramble through the tunnels at Cu Chi, from where the Viet Cong successfully launched attacks against US forces.

Central Highlands
————————–
Dalat is as far as most people go into the Central Highlands but head further into the mountains for stunning views and waterfalls. You are assured of a warm welcome in Buon Ma Thuot, a coffee growing region and home to the Montagnards. The Ho Chi Minh trail is easily reached from Kontum.
Cooking lessons

Learn the subtleties of Vietnamese cookery at a class in ancient Hoi An. Submerge into the hustle and bustle of the market to buy provisions before retreating to the calm of the kitchen. The best part of the day — you get to eat what you have helped prepare!

Dalat
———–
To escape the heat of the plains, head for Dalat, a former colonial hill station, reminiscent of a French town, with faded, elegant villas evocative of another era. Colonists from Saigon headed to its cool climes as well as the emperor and his entourage. The romantic lakes and alpine scenery are magnets for Vietnamese honeymooners.

Halong Bay
—————
Sure it is touristy, and if you take a boat trip you’ll be among a flotilla of dozens of old converted junks, but Halong Bay still remains one of the most impressive sights in the world. Take the opportunity to borrow a kayak (all boats should do this) and paddle through the limestone karsts dramatically rising up out of the sea. Or spend the night on one of those junks and explore the caves hidden deep in the islands, pass floating villages and at night enjoy a sundowner on the top deck and look out for shooting stars.

Hanoi
———
Hanoi is a city of contrasts with the wide, leafy boulevards lined by beautiful colonial buildings in the French quarter, the maze of narrow streets of the Old Quarter and the tranquil lakes. Wherever you are, the background noise is the buzzing of the motorbikes that crowd the streets of the capital.

Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City by train
——————————————–
A trip on the Reunification Express is a must. However, the trains between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are certainly not express. It can take between 30 and 40 hours to travel between the two cities so best to do one section only. Popular is the 18-hour journey between Hanoi and Hue., .

{embedHtml, PUrbD–BO6w, Mega construction of Sydney Harbour Bridge – A Steel through Arch Bridge Sydney Australia, On 28 July 1923 JJC Bradfield turned the first sod for the start of construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, though the designed was still not complete. It was several years before construction work began in earnest.

At Milsons Point, two vast workshops arose where hundreds of workers toiled round the clock to meet the punishing schedule. Materials were unloaded from steamers by crane, transformed by machines, and fashioned into beams, rivets and joints, then shipped back to the water, and lifted into position by two massive creeper cranes working on either side of the harbour.

Bradfield’s planned bridge was massive in every respect. By far the tallest structure in the entire country, the Bridge incorporated 50,000 tons of steel. Indeed, it was the heaviest bridge yet built. The rivets used to hold the structure were bigger than any previously used, and the steel angles were the largest that had ever been rolled.

Adding to the challenge, the depth of the water beneath the Bridge meant that it would not be possible to support the arch while it was being build. Each arm of the arch would have to be held in tension by wire ropes as they crept out across the water.

The Bridge’s foundations were dug deep into the sandstone on each side of the harbour, and supported the four giant hinges that would eventually hold the entire weight of the Bridge. Each bearing weighed more than 300 tons. Behind the hinges were U-shaped tunnels through which the anchor cables passed – 128 for each side of the Bridge.

The design required almost inconceivable precision. The arch was constructed from straight sections of steel, brought together at a slight angle. The maximum clearance allowed was 4/1000 of an inch (0.1mm) between angles. When the two halves of the arch eventually met, there was a combined error of only half an inch (13mm).The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The dramatic view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is an iconic image of Sydney, and Australia. The bridge is nicknamed “The Coathanger” because of its arch-based design. Furthermore, the bridge is ubiquitously known to Sydneysiders simply as “the Bridge”.

Under the directions of Queenslander Dr J.J.C. Bradfield of the NSW Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long and Co Ltd of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932. The bridge’s design was influenced by the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. It is also the sixth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world, and it is the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver.
The southern (CBD) end of the bridge is located at Millers Point in The Rocks area, and the northern end at Milsons Point in the lower North Shore area. There are six original lanes of road traffic through the main roadway, plus an additional two lanes of road traffic on its eastern side, using lanes that were formally tram tracks). Adjacent to the road traffic, a path for pedestrian use runs along the eastern side of the bridge, whilst a dedicated path for bicycle use only runs along the western side. Finally, between the main roadway and the western bicycle path are two lanes used for railway tracks, servicing the T1 North Shore Line for Sydney Trains.

The main roadway across the bridge is known as the Bradfield Highway and is about 2.4 km (1.5 mi) long, making it one of the shortest highways in Australia.The building of the bridge was under the management of Bradfield. Three other people heavily involved in the bridge’s design and construction were Lawrence Ennis, Edward Judge, and Sir Ralph Freeman. Ennis was the engineer-in-charge at Dorman Long and Co and the main on-site supervisor (Bradfield visited occasionally throughout the project and, in particular, at many key stages of the project, to inspect progress and make managerial decisions), Judge was chief technical engineer of Dorman Long, and Freeman was hired by the company to design the accepted model in further detail. Later a bitter disagreement broke out between Bradfield and Freeman as to who actually designed the bridge. Another name connected with the bridge’s design is that of Arthur Plunkett.

The official ceremony to mark the “turning of the first sod” occurred on 28 July 1923, on the spot at Milsons Point on the north shore where two workshops to assist in building the bridge were to be constructed., .

{embedHtml, qXcYnrwqJxY, Halong bay, Vietnam most beautiful bay on earth!!-7 Natural wonders, http://www.new7wonders.com/hp/ The bay was World’s Natural Heritage listed by UNESCO at the 18th meeting of the Committee of the World Heritages of UNESCO (in Phuket, Thailand on December 17th, 1994) for its outstanding universal aesthetic value according to the criteria explained in the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention. On December 2nd, 2000 at the 24th meeting of Committee of the World Heritages in Cairns, Australia, Ha Long Bay was admitted as a World Heritage Site for its outstanding geological and geomorphological value according to the criteria of that Convention.[1]

Ha Long Bay was introduced to nominate by New Open World Foundation as World’s 7 Natural Wonder.The bay consists of a dense cluster of 1,969 limestone monolithic islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, which rise spectacularly from the ocean. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves. Hang Đầu Gỗ (Wooden stakes Cave) is the largest grotto in the Ha Long area. French tourists visited in the late 19th century, and named the cave Grotte des Merveilles. Its three large chambers contain large numerous stalactites and stalagmites (as well as 19th century French graffiti). There are two bigger islands, Tuần Châu and Cat Ba, that have permanent inhabitants. Both of them have tourist facilities, including hotels and beaches. There are a number of wonderful beaches on the smaller islands.

Some of the islands support floating villages of fishermen, who ply the shallow waters for 200 species of fish and 450 different kinds of mollusks. Many of the islands have acquired their names as a result of interpretation of their unusual shapes: such names include Voi Islet (elephant), Ga Choi Islet (fighting cock), and Mai Nha Islet (roof). 989 of the islands have been given names. Birds and animals including bantams, antelopes, monkeys, and lizards also live on some of the islands.

Almost these islands are individual towers in a classic fenglin lanscape which height is from 50m to 100m and height/width ratios up to about 6.

Another specific feature of Halong Bay is the abundance of lakes inside the limestone islands, for example, Dau Be island has six enclosed lakes. All these island lakes occupy drowned dolines within fengcong karst.

Local legend says that long ago when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth and decided to live here then. The place where Mother Dragon flew down was named Hạ Long, the place where the dragon children attended upon their mother was called Bái Tử Long island (Bái: attend upon, Tử: children, Long: dragon), and the place where the dragon children wriggled their tails violently was called Bạch Long Vỹ island (Bạch: white- colour of the foam made when Children Dragon wriggle, Long: dragon, Vỹ: tail)., .
