Are you ready for some action?
Saigon (also
officially known as Ho Chi Minh City or locally in Vietnamese as Sài Gòn) is
Vietnam’s most booming up and coming city, a places where the action never
stops. In this post I’m going to go over 3 of what I think are the top 3 places ( attractions) you can visit and see when you’re in Saigon.
If you want to discover new active places in the active city like Ho Chi Minh,
come and make some memories here.
1. 3D
ART MUSEUM – ARTINUS
Artinus
(Art In Us) is a 3D painting art museum which has just been built and put into
trial operation in Ho Chi Minh city. This is considered the first 3D painting
museum in the city.You will become very small when setting foot in the art
world. Currently, the museum has 9 different topic areas which finely are
decorated such as the wildlife world, oceans, the Renaissance art, ancient
Egypt, etc.
Especially here is the image of Vietnam which is located in
the heart of the museum, with highlight images as vast terraced fields in
northwest region, Halong Bay, Hue ancient citadel or charming Mekong Delta
Rivers. The impressive image is a girl in traditional ao dai costume which is
drawn in big size.
3D Painting is the art form that applied with near and far
principle, and then drawing in walls, ceilings, floors, etc. Images of people
or nature are combined to make up the rich and vivid for work.When stepping
through each different topic area, you’ll be lost in a new world with many
different emotions and being surprised by the images which were designed in a
related way.
Many houses are designed in a tilting position compared to
the floor, making a small or big difference in attracting many young people to
take pictures and experience.
Small paintings decorated around corridors and walkways were
also meticulously drawn and animated. You may be deceived vision with these
colorful paintings. Even taking by phone, you can still have your own realistic
3D pictures. I think Artinus is one of best things to do in Ho Chi Minh city.
Open Hours: 9am to 10pm daily
Address: 02-04
No.9 Street New Urban Area Him Lam Tan Hung Ward, District 7
2. WALKING
STREET – NGUYEN HUE
Saigon now has its additional tourist attraction. That is
Nguyen Hue- Saigon walking street which becomes an ideal destination not only
for Saigon people but also for tourists near and far.
Nguyen Hue walking street put officially into operation on
29 April. As schedule, on week days, vehicles are still allowed to run along
Nguyen Hue street, but from 6pm to 1am on Saturday and Sunday, all kinds of
vehicles are banned to travel here.
Nguyen Hue walking street is chosen as a place for big
events of Ho Chi Minh city as parade, meetings, street festivals, Nguyen Hue
flower path. Moreover, this path also takes place activities of culture
exhibitions, sport, art performances, etc.
3. STARLIGHT BRIDGE
The Anh Sao (Starlight) Bridge is located in the heart of
the international commercial and financial district of Phu My Hung. The first
modern pedestrian bridge of Vietnam, it cost VND50 billion (about US$2.5
million) to construct and was officially inaugurated in April 2010.While many
stop by to enjoy the beautiful scenery, others want to experience the splendour
of a 170m-long walk amongst the LED-lit stars (simulated by the lights on the
ground).The solar powered lights collect energy during the day using specially
designed battery panels located on the sides of the bridge.
Nuzzled along a beautiful river promenade with a fresh cool
breeze flowing all the time, Anh Sao Bridge is an architectural symphony which
perfectly harmonizes with the natural setting to create an ideal destination
for local residents and visitors to enjoy.
