Many young people choose to explore Ho Chi Minh City to avoid traffic jams and crowds at popular tourist destinations.

Ho Chi Minh City is not only famous for its scenic spots and historical sites, but also for its many exciting entertainment areas. These locations often offer a variety of attractive games, along with sightseeing and shopping activities, making them ideal for relaxing during the upcoming September 2nd holiday.

Explore the city

Ho Chi Minh City is a melting pot of diverse cultures. During holidays, the streets of Ho Chi Minh City are usually less congested. Tourists can hop on motorbikes and explore the city's streets. Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the sidewalk in District 1, then take a stroll through the pedestrian area, Notre Dame Cathedral, Turtle Lake, Bach Dang Wharf, etc. Afterwards, head to District 5 for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. This area boasts many temples and distinctive Chinese-style architectural structures. In the evening, visit Ho Thi Ky Flower Market in District 10 for snacks and a walk before returning home.

Kart Racing

Located within the grounds of Hello Park in District 7, the 340m Kart 1 racetrack, which opened in November 2017, is less than 20 minutes from the city center. It's a popular weekend hangout for thrill-seekers who want to experience high-speed racing while ensuring safety.

There are a total of 12 gasoline-powered Go-Karts here, imported directly from Germany, all equipped with GPS chips to measure time. You can also hone your Go-Kart racing skills in training courses and try to surpass your own race time records using the "MYLAPS Sport Timing" software system; your race results will then be printed out and compared.

Archery competition

If you're a thrill-seeker, head straight to the Archery Competition area in Binh Chanh District. The space is designed with obstacles to help you practice and improve your archery skills. You'll be equipped with protective gear, a training bow, and padded arrows. Your task is to attack your opponent while dodging arrows and weaving through obstacles.

Cycling around Binh Quoi

Thanh Da or Binh Quoi is a secluded area with plenty of trees and fresh air. Visitors can choose to cycle along routes of around 30 km. This activity is increasingly attracting young people and families with 1-2 children who want to explore green spaces. Not only do these cycling routes get you away from the bustling city center, but they also offer views of Ho Chi Minh City from afar.

Experience Jump Arena

Jump Arena is the largest trampoline park in Ho Chi Minh City. Here you can participate in many physical activities such as rope climbing, bungee jumping, and aerial challenges. In addition, Jump Arena is also one of the children's playgrounds in Saigon with a dedicated space for children and many exciting games such as tag, ball throwing, and free jumping.

SUP paddling

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is now quite popular among Saigon residents. Every afternoon, if you travel along the Saigon River, you'll see glimpses of paddleboards gliding gently across the water. One of the most popular SUP routes is paddling through the coconut groves and watching the sunset from Landmark 81. Instructors will guide you on how to maintain balance on the board and will always be by your side to support you throughout the paddling process.
