Hi everyone, it's Vân Vũ from Vietnam.

Welcome back to my channel.

It's been a long time since I've seen Anh Long.

Hello, hello everyone.

So you've already seen him in some of my videos such as Phủ Chi videos or Mekong videos.

By the way, if you want to learn more about Vietnamese culture,

don't forget to visit my website at whattheforvn.com.

So what are we gonna do today, Anh Long?

Well, this morning we're gonna take you around,

introduce you to things to do as the first time traveler because I know that many viewers,

many fans of yours, right, haven't been to Vietnam.

So I think it's gonna be a very interesting video.

It's got me so much fun.

But first, let's get breakfast.

Yes, let's go.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, but this way, let's go.

If you want to see the real hustle and bustle of the city,

you should join the locals to buy breakfast in the morning.

Before going to work, Saigonese usually order sandwiches and coffee while still sitting on their motorbikes.

That's why today Long and I will go to Bánh Mì chim chạy,

literally translates to the running bird sandwich shop.

The unique name came from the idea of using meat from ostriches,

the birds that cannot fly.

Over the years, they substitute ostrich meat with chicken and grilled pork

because ostrich meat was so dry and chewy for Vietnamese people.

It's one of my go-to Bánh Mì spots in Ho Chi Minh City.

Long and I will go to the cafe apartment on 42 Nguyễn Huệ walking street

and I'm gonna show you how unique it is.

And now we are at the cafe apartment already.

42 Nguyễn Huệ.

And this building actually becomes super famous after a cover on National Geography.

Yes, at night it's so beautiful

because I took a picture here with the apartment the first time

when I came to Saigon and it was so so beautiful at night guys.

Did you know this building initially served as a barrack and office for the army during the Vietnam War?

After the war, some of the apartments were allocated to shipyard workers.

However, it wasn't until the 2010s that the owners of these buildings began embracing the concept of cafe apartments,

which subsequently blossomed into a culture phenomenon in Ho Chi Minh City.

The 9-story apartment block at 42 Nguyễn Huế stands as a testament to its history,

housing a vibrant mix of cafes, boutiques and creative businesses.

Okay.

We can eat bánh mi,

drink coffee, and see, enjoy the flowers and the views.

Wow.

And meet like so.

What a life.

Yes, right?

Yeah.

What a life.

Oh my gosh, I see there are a lot of options for Ơi here.

So they have cafe sữa đá Anh ơi is the traditional condensed milk

and then cafe sữa đá Em ơi is like more milk

and then more condensed milk so it's like kind of like bạc siu

and then cafe sữa đá Trời ơi like oh my gosh cafe it's like they have durian in the coffee

which I ordered here Oh my gosh she sounds like an expert right?

Like she asked me to come along as a tour guide but she didn't miss my recommendation

Anyway she ordered the right thing Congratulations.

Thank you.

How are the coffee though?

Very good.

I got em ơi.

Yeah, so I got the right choice.

I need to try this one.

Good right?

It's actually good.

It's like...

Durian and coffee.

Can you believe it?

It's such a combination.

Wow, yeah.

Like, I can smell the durian in here,

but it's not too overwhelming.

It's actually a very good combination.

Saigon is just a girl in love.

Right?

Yeah.

Watch out, watch love.

And then Hanoi is like an old lady,

you know, like, she's trying to keep the rain and keep the rain.

On the way to Nguyễn Huệ walking street,

you can pass Dong Khoi area,

which is considered the richest area of the city.

You can see Hotel Continental Saigon where writer Graham Greene wrote his famous movie The Quiet American.

You can also see the Saigon Opera House where people take wedding photos.

And I also highly recommend you see the A O Show,

which is a cultural entertainment performance from talented Vietnamese artists.

I would like to show you another little construction that has very interesting information.

Yeah, that's the fountain, right?

You can see the roundabout right there, right?

Lotus roundabout.

That is the first traffic roundabout in Ho Chi Minh City.

Wow.

Back to the colonial of time.

Initially when it was untreated,

it wasn't functioned as the traffic route about.

But right there the French have musicians,

artists, they come to that area to perform.

But I think when the French come back to Vietnam,

100

they're gonna be so surprised.

101

Because right now they do rapping and then they sing karaoke here.

102

Yes, adapt to the Vietnamese culture, right?

103

Definitely.

104

So in Rome, do as the Romans do.

105

Now we are walking on Nguyen Huệ Boulevard.

106

This is the main pedestrian street in Saigon.

107

Now it's quite empty, right?

108

Not very crowded in the morning,

109

but during the night time,

110

people, especially youngsters, family members,

111

even couples, they come here to hang out and have fun.

112

And by the way, over there you can see that is one of the most iconic landmarks of Ho Chi Minh City,

113

which is Ho Chi Minh City Hall, right?

114

But now it's function as the office building for Ho Chi Minh City People Committee.

115

Right there you can see the Rex Hotel at the corner.

116

Yes.

117

It's a very famous hotel, especially among American tourists.

118

I was really curious and surprised why a lot of Americans know about that place.

119

I asked them and they said,

120

like, back in the day during the Vietnam War,

121

Rex Hotel together with another hotel,

122

which is Caravell Hotel, at the two first hotels that hosted the very first American soldiers who came to Vietnam

123

you know for the Vietnam War.

124

Yeah so this one together with the Caravelle were the first two hotels that hosted them.

125

Interesting.

126

Yeah we're gonna do a couple of crossing again.

127

Okay I love crossing the road you know.

128

That's a good experience right.

129

We appreciate life more.

130

I appreciate it.

131

But now I want the pink one.

132

I want the red one.

133

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Independence Palace.

134

The Independence Palace has been the symbolic end game that brought the Vietnam War to an end on April 30th,

135

1975, when the North Vietnamese Army Tang crashed through its gates.

136

The palace was the home and workplace of the President of the Republic of Vietnam,

137

and it was constructed in the early 1960s and designed by a Vietnamese architect, Ngô Viet Thu.

138

The palace architecture is a unique blend of traditional Vietnamese,

139

Chinese, and modernist styles.

140

From the above of the Independence Palace mimics the form of the Chinese character,

141

Ji, which represents good luck,

142

and the symbol ko, mouth,

143

symbolizing high standards of education and freedom of speech.

144

Entering the Independence Palace, you can see the meeting rooms,

145

banquet rooms, entertainment rooms and the bunker where the president and his staff could take shelter during attacks.

146

Don't forget to go to the balcony on the second floor

147

because you can enjoy the stunning view of Ho Chi Minh City.

148

The Independence Palace is not only an important historical site,

149

but also a significant symbol of Vietnam's struggle for independence and reunification.

150

It stands as a reminder of the country's tumultuous past and serves as a testament to its resilience and determination.

151

the brick right that's the original color of the brick from the very beginning and on the brick right

152

for the wall it was imported from maxi province from france yeah

153

i feel like nowadays we live in such a fast-paced life

154

and it's so convenient for people to call or send each other emails

155

but i feel like it's more special

156

if we send letters to our loved ones

157

and i would like to send a letter to my future husband

158

so um do you know where i can send it let

159

me tell you we have to come to the right place where a building just right behind us

160

saigon central postal field if you know a lot about feng shui which is all about harmony and balance

161

you will notice a dragon and a tiger at the gate.

162

They resemble strong spirits who protect the building.

163

The architecture is a perfect combination of Gothic,

164

Renaissance, and French colonial influences where you can see a massive clock

165

that has been running for more than 130 years and Hermes,

166

the god of all communication.

167

There are also numerous well-known scientists

168

and inventors of the telegraph industry such as benjamin franklin alessandro volta

169

and michael faraday are engraved on the wall entering the post

170

office you will see a hanging huge portrait of president ho

171

chi minh who was the leader of the vietnamese revolution in

172

the 20th century on both sides of the post office walls

173

there are two large meticulously drawn maps one depicts saigon and its neighborhoods

174

in 1892 while the other illustrates the network of telegraph lines across vietnam

175

and cambodia in 1936 the seating area was designed like a

176

train station where you can see the time from other countries

177

and telephone booths did you notice there's no number 13 wow i see there are a lot of souvenirs here

178

and even host cards and then magnets here as well

179

but you know what we know Another option that you can buy more souvenirs with more affordable price.

180

Okay, let's go to...

181

Biên Thái Market.

182

Yes.

183

Alright, let's go.

184

Oh my gosh, my nose.

185

My nose, my nose.

186

You smell something?

187

Oh my gosh, I smell durian.

188

Yeah.

189

I smell dry shrimp.

190

I smell everything here.

191

Oh my goodness.

192

Alright, so now we're entering the market,

193

Bến Thành Market, and you see the name outside, right?

194

So this is the most popular market in Ho Chi Minh City, especially for tourists.

195

So when you come to Saigon,

196

you should definitely check out Bến Thành Market, because it's a highlight.

197

Yeah, it's so lively here.

198

And not to mention when you go to Binh Thang Market,

199

don't forget to check out coffee.

200

Right, there's so many types of coffee over here.

201

And over here they have a lot of candy and then dried fruit and nuts that you can buy.

202

I know that like lotus is super good for your sleep.

203

So maybe you can buy some and make chè,

204

which is a Vietnamese dessert.

205

Super yummy.

206

Oh my gosh, look at this!

207

Cinnamon!

208

And then like if you want to make pho,

209

this is a good spot for you to have all the ingredients to make your bed more pho.

210

That's right.

211

I think my mom would love this.

212

Igerbom.

213

So for Asians, this is a secret medical oil.

214

Because my mom, my grandpa,

215

my dad, they use this for everything.

216

Like headaches, stomach aches, nausea, whatever.

217

Even when you get mosquito bites,

218

you can also apply on your skin.

219

I know, right?

220

You can treat everything.

221

Multi-functional.

222

Oh my gosh, Anh Long,

223

I love this little cone hat.

224

Oh yeah.

225

These are so cute.

226

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

227

What's this?

228

Conical hat, right?

229

This is another stuff that you can take home as a souvenir.

230

So cute.

231

All right, so we are entering the wet section,

232

the wet market of Ben Thang.

233

So right here, there's like butcher,

234

you know, like meat and the fish section over there.

235

Yeah.

236

So for local ladies, they come here every morning to buy fresh ingredients for daily meals.

237

And then in Vietnam, they only sell it for half of the day so that the food can stay fresh, right?

238

That's right.

239

So my mom, for example,

240

she loves to go to the market in the super early morning because she can get fresh food.

241

That's what my mom did too.

242

But then you need to know how to negotiate.

243

That's the thing that I want to say.

244

While we're outside of the Bên Thành market,

245

what's a tip to bargain?

246

Well, you know, as I explained earlier,

247

anyway, it still functions as a tourist market.

248

So when you come here to buy things,

249

make sure that you do a very good negotiation.

250

Sometimes it can be like 40-50%,

251

you have to cut it half-right.

252

Yeah.

253

Yep.

254

40-50%.

255

Keep that in there.

256

Right.

257

Especially souvenir stuff for example they say like a hundred dollars you have to make it like 50 or even 40.

258

and also

259

if you go with the professional local tour guide like Ang Lam you don't need to worry about negotiation

260

because they know the price.

261

One more tip you should ask the local beforehand to know like how much it is

262

so you can negotiate with better price right.

263

Wow this is so cool.

264

I have never seen like as many outside as in here.

265

And by the way, this is a fixed price section.

266

So for those who don't like negotiating or they have no skill of negotiating,

267

then this should be the place for them, right?

268

You come here, every price is also fixed already.

269

Yeah, the price is very good.

270

Yeah, I feel like people can buy outside for their wedding here.

271

And then after that, when they have honeymoon,

272

they can go to that section to buy some graphic t-shirt to go to the beach.

273

When they have a baby,

274

they can buy some clothes for babies.

275

How convenient it is, yeah.

276

Many people are so strategic.

277

So if you want to learn some strategic skills or negotiation skills,

278

I suggest you to come to Vietnam ASAP.

279

Yeah.

280

There is one construction I would like to show you,

281

which is really interesting, not many people know.

282

What is that?

283

The building just right behind us,

284

by the way, that way,

285

you can see a very old building with yellow color right there, right?

286

That is where one of the last helicopters of Americans left Saigon.

287

Is that like a.. they have an iconic picture for it, right?

288

That's one.

289

That's one.

290

So the picture was taken in the afternoon of the 29th of April,

291

one day before the Vietnam War ended.

292

For the whole building, right,

293

it was converted into the office for a company,

294

but the rooftops still remain the same.

295

Yeah, so sometimes if tourists are lucky enough,

296

you are allowed to go inside to go up there because there's a cafe up there.

297

Really?

298

But sometimes we are not allowed to go inside.

299

I don't know.

300

It's so weird.

301

Oh my gosh.

302

It was a long day.

303

I was so exhausted, but I had so much fun with Anh Long today.

304

Barely, we had a great time today.

305

And we know that this video is very short, right?

306

And if it's short, of course,

307

it cannot show you everything about Saigon because the CDE staff has a lot to offer.

308

So stay tuned for more videos to come.

309

Yes, and please comment down below if you want to see more of Anh Long in my channel.

310

Okay, and also if you want to learn more about Vietnamese culture,

311

don't forget to visit my website at whatthephovien.com and subscribe to my channel.

312

Thank you so much, Anh Long,

313

again for helping me today.

314

Thank you so much for sharing the opportunity.

315

Thank you!

316

Thank you!

317

318

Bye!
