Itinerary of Half Day Ho Chi Minh City Bike Tour
You will start your 4-hour cycling trip with your tour guide at 8:30 AM. The first place you visit will be the popular flower market named Ho Thi Ky. It is a wholesale market that supplies flowers. The market is incredibly colorful, like a giant garden, even a miniature flower forest. You will find roses, lilies, orchids, daisies, lotuses, and hydrangeas, … The second place you will cycle to is the Jade Emperor Pagoda which U.S. President Barack Obama visited during his state trip to Vietnam on 22 May 2016. As you know, Ho Chi Minh City is home to many skillful built temples, but what makes the Jade Emperor Pagoda outstanding is the heartening union of locals and worship. Temporarily escaping the noise of the city, we will seek refuge in the humble temple. Amongst the simple but grandeur of wall carvings and statues, witness the sincerity of locals who come and visit to pray.
The third place that you will visit is the Pet market. It is known as the primary place in which pets, mostly dogs and cats, of numerous sizes and breeds can be purchased. We will continue pedaling along the street while a canal is flowing on your right. You can stop to taste a special cup of coffee at the no-name coffee shop which is one of the last places you can still try what the locals call Ca Phe Vot. Especially here there is a very special way of making coffee, it was created a long time ago.
The next stop is Tan Dinh Market. It is one of the city’s oldest markets, but it was the opening of the stylish French market building of 1927 that brought it to worldwide attention. This is a great chance for last-minute souvenir shopping or feasting, one feels most like a rushing local here, even if the conversation is mostly about reducing the price. Here, you will be served the foods from the food stalls selling piping hot local snacks. Right on the opposite side of the street is Tan Dinh Church, also known as Nhà Thờ Màu Hồng (Pink Church). It shows the European architectural style of white elegant motifs, curved arches, and finely carved details. At the end of your tour, we will cycle back to the starting point, and pass through Independence Palace and Notre Dame Cathedral.
