what's going on everybody this is Island Hopper TV and today we're going to talk about the best

things to do when visiting Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam let's do it first up on the list is

Vin Pearl Landmark 81 here in Ho Chi Minh City District One it is a hotel as well as a shopping

mall at the bottom and then it's also a tourist attraction which allows you to go to the very

top or almost the very top as you can do here it is an 81 story building standing at 461 meters

or 1513 feet tall it is the tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City and the tickets cost around 220

000 Vietnamese Dong that's around 10 to 12 dollars per person children are 150 000 I did stay at the

hotel it is a Marriott property and it was reasonably priced and quite the experience

next up we're headed to Bui vienne Street this is the party area in Ho Chi Minh City district

one for Saigon and just to clear it up Ho Chi Minh city is the official name of this city

but people still call it Saigon in many places you will notice which is the name for the city

before the war also known as Western Street as it pertains to Western culture with many Backpackers

and locals visiting this area it is a bit of a wild party street so I wouldn't recommend

bringing kids here and if you're looking for a bit more of a tame nightlife experience go check

out no Wayne Hughes walking Street here in the center of district one known for its beautiful

architecture from the French colonial era as well as new modern buildings it's got a very

bustling atmosphere as you can see at night time especially on the weekends you can expect many

street performers while down here just be advised that the street performers will expect a tip if

you take a picture with them also as we continue to show you around Ho Chi Minh City here I'd like

to let you know there are time stamps below so you can bounce around from location to location

also I am going all across Vietnam so I will be putting out videos from Ho Chi Minh City some

more as well as Da Nang Hanoi and several other places also you can check out our other Channel

Island Hopper TV travel highlights where I show you the behind the scenes action so I'll put links

to that all down below in the comments and in the description below so definitely look out for that

and as you can see this street is quite full of Vibrance and life so definitely consider

coming down here it's very easy to get to right there in the heart of district one next up we're

headed to explore some more history this here is the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House with 500 seats

here it dates all the way back to 1898 when it was inspired by the French third Republic so

it's quite a historical building here and worth checking out now we're actually headed towards

the war remnants Museum this is a great place to go if you want to learn about the history

of the Vietnam war between the United States and Vietnam Outdoors they have a lot of the

military equipment from the U.S Army and the Air Force but then once you go inside you'll

also see there's some history about the weapons that were used it was a very unfortunate War as

you will discover so it can be a bit heavy to take in and just some quick history about the Vietnam

War it was North Vietnam versus South Vietnam the Americans were occupying Saigon at the time

in support of the Southern Vietnamese during the Civil War the War lasted around 20 years and the

northern Vietnamese ended up winning the war and Saigon fell and became called Ho Chi Minh City
