One day in Saigon

Travelling to Saigon for the second time in February and have a free day. Any ideas of how to spend the time will be most welcome.

Why not book a tour to cu chi tunnels and maybe visit the cao dai temple.

Or wander around HCM City and visit the war museum. If you like food there are plenty of delicious things to try.

In your first time to HCMC, you must have explored the city, so another option for you this time is one day mekong tour.

Did you go into Cholon?
You could also get a hydrofoil to Vung tau for a day trip. The beach is not up to much but there are some decent temples and the views from the outstretched arms of the huge statue of Christ are excellent.

If OP is 150kgs Cu Chi would be difficult. Find out the facts before recommending!
