in DETAIL
DAY 1: SAIGON
(D)
Welcome to Saigon,
the most hectic hub of Vietnam. You will be welcomed at the Tan Son
Nhat airport and transfer to the hotel to check-in. Lunch will be at
your own arrangement for more flexibility before we start the
city tour at the Reunification Palace, the witness of the fierce
Vietnam War ended
in 1975. The grand building today is a Museum and Hall of official
receptions. Nearby the Palace are the colonial-styled Post Office
and the Notre Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883 and one of
the city’s major landmarks. The visit will end at Ngoc Hoang (the
“Jade Emperor”) pagoda before we back to District 1 to enjoy
ice-cream from “Bach Dang” - an ice-cream shop which are very
familiar with the Saigon people for long time – and join the night
market at Ben Thanh. Dinner with delicious local foods of Saigon.
Overnight in Saigon.
DAY 2: SAIGON -
TAYNINH - CUCHI TUNNELS - SAIGON (B/L)
Our day will begin with a visit to Tayninh, the centre
of Caodaism, a local sect of Buddhism founded by a Vietnamese
countryman in early 20th century. Arriving at noontime,
we will have the chance to join the daily solemn ceremony at the
temple of Cao Dai called Tayninh Holysee. On the way back to Saigon,
we can stop to visit Cu Chi Tunnels, one of the few remaining
monuments of the fierce Vietnam War. We can even crawl
a part of the tunnel to experience the real life of the Vietnamese
guerrillas, who used to use and live inside this system during the
wartime. Return to Saigon late afternoon. Lunch in Tayninh or en
route. Dinner by your own arrangement. Overnight in Saigon.
DAY 3: SAIGON –
MY THO – CAN THO (B/L/D)
Head to the South
to My Tho and Ben Tre, the homeland of coconut and family factories
with local products. Stop en route to visit Dong Tam Snake farm and
Vinh Trang pagoda. Upon arrival in My Tho, we will take a small boat
to go between canals into gardens and rural houses, where a lot of
families produce coconut candy, feed the bee for honey, or plant
juicy fruit. Stop at some families and their small factories. Lunch
en route. Dinner and overnight in Can Tho.
DAY 4: CAN THO – SAIGON (B/L)
A highlight of trips to the Mekong delta is its floating market,
whose activities are most exciting in the early morning. So we can
wake up early today to arrive in Cai Rang or Phong Dien Floating
market to enjoy the daily life of Mekong people, who come to the
markets on the rivers everyday with lots of fruits, foodstuff and
other consumer goods. Visit the Farms in Can Tho on the way back to
Saigon. Dinner at your own arrangement. Overnight in Saigon.
