When we mention Saigon, we often think of a place of luxury and glamour. However, amidst the hustle and bustle, there are still alleyways and spots that preserve the nostalgic charm of old Saigon.
Discovering Hidden Gems in Saigon
The Tranquil Alleyway of Hào Sĩ Phường
While Saigon boasts towering skyscrapers and extravagant boulevards, tucked away are serene alleyways exuding a peaceful, nostalgic aura. One such gem is Hào Sĩ Phường, nestled quietly at 206 Trần Hưng Đạo B, District 5.
The Art Museum Experience
If Hào Sĩ Phường alley is a nostalgic-style photo spot with a dense population, then the Fine Arts Museum is a public place, often crowded with tourists from both inside and outside the country. However, with the classical beauty and charm of an art exhibition venue, you can freely capture countless beautiful photos here.
Thiên Hậu Pagoda
Thiên Hậu Pagoda, also known as the oldest pagoda in Saigon with a history of up to 250 years, is a nostalgic-style photo spot for young people. Located on Nguyen Trai Street, District 5, this pagoda is where many pilgrims and tourists visit. It is also a place where many young people come to take photos.
Despite undergoing many renovations, Thiên Hậu Pagoda still maintains the distinctive architecture of the Chinese, with a strong Eastern flavor. The pagoda is built in the triple gate style with a decorative emphasis on the main entrance, with additional corridors on both sides. Despite being located on a bustling street, Thiên Hậu Pagoda always maintains its solemn and tranquil appearance.
