But we are surprised – we expected a second Hanoi, but instead we got a well organized traffic, where people blow the horn only when really necessary and not with the rhythm of their heart beat.
The streets are clean, the roads are wide enough to walk safely on the pavement and traffic lights where respected in the way are used too.
We quickly liked this place with a good mix of shopping places, street side restaurants and countless number of Chinese and Buddhist temples.
The city walk brought us the parliament house which when it fell was the end of the Vietnam War on 30.4.1969.
The brutality of the war is very impressive shown in the war museum which is a must see of Saigon.
One day we dedicated to the other china town which has a rich history and collection of the most beautiful temples and pagodas.
The perfect place to remember your ancestor and to pray to the higher power from the countless Chinese spirits.
