Ho Chi Minh City by Night
See a different side of Ho Chi Minh City as the city comes alive after dark.
As the sun goes down, Ho Chi Minh City comes alive. Bright lights, bustling markets, street-food stalls and performers create an exciting atmosphere and provide students with a different perspective on Vietnam’s largest city.
There are plenty of ways for school groups to experience the city after dark. Students can join a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class, try a traditional musical instrument workshop, browse shops filled with propaganda posters and books, or watch local artisans create intricate wood and bamboo artworks. On the streets, food vendors prepare everything from traditional favourites to tasty local snacks right in front of you.
Explore colourful night markets, watch street performers or experience the spectacular A O Show, combining bamboo circus, acrobatics, dance and traditional music. Sometimes the best experience is simply exploring the streets, watching the organised chaos of thousands of motorbikes and observing local families and friends enjoying their city. Ho Chi Minh City by night is an experience for the senses – the sights, sounds, smells and flavours provide students with a memorable insight into everyday life in modern Vietnam.
