Vietnam has also been named on this list. It's not the old quarters of Hanoi or Hoi An, but Saigon that Time Out magazine mentioned. Even more surprisingly, the area chosen by experts in Ho Chi Minh City isn't one of the famous districts like District 1 or District 7. District 3 is the one that made it into the top 20 most interesting areas in the world.
District 3 was listed by Time Out magazine as one of the top 20 most interesting places in the world.
District 3 is ranked 18th on the list. Strategically located next to the bustling District 1 and adjacent to Binh Thanh District, considered a major transportation hub of the city, District 3 has long been familiar to young people and domestic and international tourists alike. Many destinations within the district are always on the checklist of places to visit when traveling to Saigon, such as Tan Dinh Church, Turtle Lake, and the Nguyen Thuong Hien food street.
Tan Dinh Church, with its Gothic style and striking pink color, is one of the famous landmarks in District 3.
Along the main thoroughfares of District 3, such as Hai Ba Trung, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, and Vo Thi Sau, are numerous buildings, shopping malls, and entertainment venues catering to all ages. It can be said that, along with District 1, District 3 of Saigon is a vibrant and bustling central area that everyone wants to experience at least once.
