Ho Chi Minh has its interesting places to offer. I personally find Cuchi Tunnels and Mekong Delta are quite fasinating. Going through the Cuchi Tunnels was quite a good experience and taking a boat trip along the narrow waterways overhung with dense vegetarian along the Mekong Delta was interesting for me. Cuchi Tunnels are an extraordinary underground maze that has several levels of tunnels totalling almost 250 kilometres in length. There are also a lot of sightseeings such as Binh Tay Market, Presidential Palace War Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, Notre Dame Church, Main Post Office, Thien Hau Pagoda, orchards villages, handicraft workshops, bee farms on the islands etc.
I love the those fine Arts at the Lacquer Factory. Lacquer is a special liquid which is painted on wood or metal in order to protect it and to make it shiny. I have posted a few of the Lacquer paintings from Ho Chi Minh City for you to admire.
There are also lots of interesting things and unique souvenirs for sales such as clothes, shoes, bags, key chains, book-marks, lacquerwares, lacquer paintings, coffee etc.
Vietnam's official currency is Dong but of course US Dollars are very much appreciated.
Anyway, here are a few Lacquer paintings which I would like to share with you.
Well, you may admire more than these beautiful Lacquer paintings in the Lacquer factory. So, do not hesitate to make a trip to Ho Chi Minh City if you want to see more.......
Wishing you have a pleasant trip there in advance!
