If you search for "Ho Chi Minh City Sightseeing", many sightseeing spots will come up. However, what tourists really want to know is not the sightseeing spots recommended by local Vietnamese. So this time, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 20 Vietnamese living in Ho Chi Minh City and introduced the "real" Top 5 Ho Chi Minh City attractions!
1st Saigon Grand Church
Also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary, Saigon Grand Church is a lovely neo-Gothic church built at the end of the 19th century. The interior of the deep church is truly "majestic". Stained glass and statues depicting the teachings of Jesus create a solemn atmosphere. When it is time for Mass, many Christians surround the church, which is also a highlight. This is a popular tourist spot especially for women!
