Goooooood morning, Vietnam! I am Joseph, an experienced travel planner and licensed tourist guide from Detour Asia, a boutique travel operator based in Ho Chi Minh City. I organize day and multi-day tours in and around popular destinations in Vietnam such as Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh city. I'm dedicated full-time helping people enjoy their holidays in my beautiful country. Over the last ten years I have organized and led some hundred tour groups in Vietnam, making me one of the most experienced tour guides here.
Chinatown, also known as Cholon which covers a broad area, including District 5, part of Districts: 6, 8, 10, and 11 in Ho Chi Minh City. This place is now a significant commercial center of the Chinese in Ho Chi Minh City which still preserves the precious values of culture, religion and architecture dating back thousands of years. The pipe-shaped tiled roofs in Chinatown streets combining with typical Chinese architectures feature a unique classic beauty.
Aside from wandering the streets of Chinatown, you can also have a taste of local flavors through a mini food trip! Drink the famous Vietnamese coffee, have a plate of Chinese duck soup noodles, and enjoy a hearty dumpling and sweet soup meal.
