There are fine places to visit in HCM City but why not escape the city’s boisterous atmosphere for a while to enjoy a boat trip on the Saigon River to see.

The Saigon River seen from a junk on a peaceful afternoon.

It’s easy enough to take a junk tour and tourists may even ask the junk owner to go to their favorite spots. Going around on the river, we see Nha Rong Wharf where Ho Chi Minh left to save the country and the Thu Thiem Ferry where people are on their way to or from work. Sitting on the junk, wind off the river blows a cool gust through our hair like it wants to play with us.

The price for a junk tour is not expensive, just VND80,000 for an hour. If tourists go in a group the price is cheaper because each junk holds ten persons.
