Ready for an adventure? Hop on our bikes and let our guides expertly weave you through the bustling streets of Saigon. With your camera in hand, get ready to uncover the city’s hidden gems!
First up, we'll explore the fascinating "Hell Village," where nearly every household is involved in making or distributing fake funeral banknotes. This unique trade sustains the community, and you’ll get to delve into its history at Saigon's largest funeral banknotes market. Chat with a local vendor to learn about the various burning objects used in religious practices and get the latest on current business trends.
Next, take a break at a local café and savor Bánh Bao Chỉ, a delicious Chinese-Vietnamese sweet bun. Once a beloved snack for those born in the 1980s and 1990s, it’s now less familiar to the younger generation. Enjoy this treat while listening to stories about its cultural significance and history.
The lion dance, a vibrant and traditional art form, is also fading away due to its demanding nature. But a dedicated local group in Saigon is keeping it alive by training disadvantaged children in lion dancing, giving them a chance to perform and earn a living. We’ll visit this inspiring team, watch their performance, and interact with the dancers to learn more about their work and the cultural significance of the lion dance.
Join us on this fascinating tour to witness and appreciate Saigon’s fading traditions before they disappear completely.
