Ho Chi Minh City, July 2015
WELCOME!
Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City, a dynamic place that is constantly changing.
This welcome guide is meant to provide you with some basic information
to help navigate those first few weeks and months and hopefully answer the
question Where can I find? This guide is by no means exhaustive, but rather a
starting point for you to get to know your new home. As you explore the city
you will be able to add your own favourites to this list.

HO CHI MINH CITY
The former capital of South Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in
Vietnam. It is difficult to state the current population; conservative estimates
put it at roughly 7 - 8 million, while some state the population is likely closer
to 10 - 11 million.
The city is divided into many districts. The majority are numbered (1 - 12),
while others are named (i.e. Tan Binh). In Vietnamese, the word district is
quan (pronounced wun). You will often see district abbreviated as Q for
Vietnamese or D for English. District 1 is largely considered the city center,
and where you will find many shops, department stores, offices, consulates,
restaurants, and cafes. District 3 borders District 1 and is quickly becoming
part of the city center. District 2, also known as An Phu and Thao Dien, and
District 7, Phu My Hung/Saigon South, are outside of the city center and
popular districts for ex-pats to live in.

SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
CLIMATE
Ho Chi Minh City is hot… and humid. There are two main seasons in HCMC:
rainy (from May - November) and dry (from December - April).
The hottest time of the year is from March - May when humidity is at its
highest. December - February are considerably cooler and less humid.
HOLIDAYS AND CELEBRATIONS
1st - 7th day of the 1st Lunar Month (usually late January/early February) - Tet*
Tet is the Vietnamese Lunar New Year and the most important holiday of the
year. The majority of businesses will close for 3 - 4 days. Some will close for
upwards of one week. SSIS generally closes for one school week.
8th March - International Women’s Day
April - Hung King Day*
30th April - Reunification Day*
1st May - International Labour Day*
1st June - Children’s Day
15th day of the 8th Lunar Month - Mid-Autumn Festival (also known as Moon
Festival)
2nd September - National Day* (Commemorates the founding of the
Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 by Ho Chi Minh)
20th November - Teachers’ Day
25th December - Christmas Day* (At this time SSIS generally takes a 3 week winter
break; however, most businesses in Vietnam remain open through Christmas)
5
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
HO CHI MINH CITY
The following is a list of the major holidays/celebrations observed in Vietnam.
Where possible a date is given, however, some days change each year or
follow the lunar calendar. An asterisk (*) denotes SSIS is closed on these days.
TET
Be sure to explore the city’s parks for
all the special markets and festivals.
Tet is the most important holiday of
the year. It is the Lunar New Year and
an important holiday to spend with
your family. You will see large scale
movement around the country at this
time as most people will try to go
home for Tet. Many Viet Kieu (overseas
Vietnamese) will return to Vietnam
to celebrate with their families. It
is advised that you make all travel
bookings (flights, hotels etc.) as early
as possible. Travel within the country
as well as flights out of the country are
extremely busy and more expensive
during Tet.
Most businesses will close over Tet.
Some will close for a few days, others
for one to two weeks. It changes
each year, and closing dates are not
always clearly communicated. In the
weeks leading up to Tet supermarkets
will be particularly busy as families
stock up on food for the holiday and
purchase Tet baskets to give as gifts.
Although many supermarkets will
close for only 2 - 3 days over Tet,
it may take a few weeks after the
holiday until their stocks are fully
replenished. You may wish to stock
up on favourite foods before Tet.
In the weeks leading up to Tet, flower
markets and flower festivals will pop
up all over the city. Phu My Hung
puts on an impressive flower festival
each year at The Crescent. In the city,
the entire street of Nguyen Hue is
transformed into a flower festival.
At Tet it is expected that you will
pay your domestic help a thirteenth
month’s salary.

SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
SAFETY
Vietnam is generally a safe country
to live in. Of course, there is crime,
and it appears that petty thefts,
such as pick-pocketing and bag
snatching, are occurring more
and more. These crimes tend to
increase in the weeks leading up
to Tet, so it is a good idea to be
particularly diligent then.
TRAFFIC
At first sight, traffic in Vietnam can
be daunting. Crossing the road in
particular, can seem an impossible
task. There are crosswalks and
traffic lights, but you will notice
that these are often disregarded.
When crossing the road, don’t
panic. Walk confidently and at
a slow, steady pace. Stopping or
hurrying suddenly makes it difficult
for motorbikes to gauge how to
navigate around you.

SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
HO CHI MINH CITY
Always be careful with your bags
and valuables in busy places, as
well as when riding a bike.
WHO WANTS TO BE
A MILLIONAIRE?
A quick introduction to Vietnamese currency
The currency of Vietnam is the Dong, pronounced dom. The exchange rate
fluctuates, but a common rate to go by is about 20,000 VND = US$ 1.
Please check xe.com or at the bank to see a more up-to-date exchange rate.
Use the following chart to get an idea of what each bank note looks like, and
its rough USD equivalent.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
SETTLING IN
SETTING UP YOUR NEW HOME
Setting up your new home can often take longer than you would like. This is
generally because there doesn’t seem to be one-stop shopping in HCMC like
you may be used to in North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand.
Obtaining the basics for your new home (towels, pillows, sheets, plates,
cutlery, kettle, blender etc.) will likely take you to many different shops all
over Phu My Hung. This can be frustrating, but is also part of the adventure of
life in Vietnam.
In the Where Can I Find section of this guide you will see many listings under
home wares for places to go to in setting up your home.
10
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
A few TOP TIPS:
- The big Citimart in Garden Plaza
(near Highlands Coffee) has a good
variety of well priced home wares. It
is well worth checking out the large
upstairs of this Citimart.
- UMA is without a doubt the closest
thing you will find to one-stop
shopping in HCMC. They have a
wide selection of home wares at a
reasonable price point.
- Cutlery can be tricky to find. You
can buy very cheap cutlery in the
supermarket and at local markets.
UMA has a selection of better quality
cutlery. A hidden gem is MORIITALIA
on the 4th floor of Crescent Mall.
They have a large selection of cutlery
(and other kitchen items) at various
price points. Be sure to look around
as all of the cutlery is not together
and the prices vary widely based on
the quality/material.
11
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SETTLING IN
- Bedding can be another tricky item.
It is widely available, however it is
often low quality or not to your taste.
UMA is a great place for bedding.
You can also try INDEX LIVING
MALL - they have a small shop
within CHOLON ELECTRONICS in
the basement of Crescent Mall. They
also have a large store in D4. This is
listed in the home wares section of
this guide. You can also try a few of
the bedding shops in Crescent Mall.
AKEMI UCHI is very good, although
at a higher price point. LOCK n LOCK
on the 4th floor of Crescent Mall has
a growing linens section. ROBINS
Department store in Crescent Mall
also has bedding at a decent price
point. PARKSON has good quality
bedding and linens at a somewhat
higher price point. Watch out for
sales at Parkson as often bedding will
go on sale for 50% off.
utensils that you don’t often see in
other shops.
- Plates/bowls etc can be found in
every supermarket and of course
at UMA. A hidden gem is MINH
LONG on the 4th floor of Crescent
Mall. Minh Long has high-end fine
porcelain, however, it also has a
wide selection of very reasonably
priced plates, bowls and tea/coffee
cups that are often considerably
cheaper than the supermarkets.
ROBINS Department Store in
Crescent Mall also has a selection of
plates/bowls etc. Often times this is
in their ‘sale’ area under the escalator
near the mall entrance from the
parking lot.
- If you find yourself looking for
outdoor furniture, check this guide
for a listing of several shops around
the city. You can also venture
just past Vivo City shopping mall
to the shops on the side of the
road. Communication may be an
adventure, but these are generally
trustworthy shops.
- There are many places to buy
household plants. There are a few
shops along Nguyen Van Linh
Parkway just past Vivo City shopping
mall. There are also several shops on
Nguyen Huu Tho street a few minutes
past Lotte Mart and on the opposite
side of the road. Plants, pots, trays
are very reasonably priced and most
places will deliver to your home.
- Kitchen utensils (whisks, tongs,
pots, pans etc.) can be bought at
supermarkets, and various home
wares shops listed below. LOCK n
LOCK on the third floor of Crescent
Mall is also worth looking at as they
have a wide variety of high quality
and reasonably priced kitchen
12
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
When you need a break from setting up your home, seek out a few of these
fun activities:
to do with some of those unfamiliar
vegetables in the supermarket.
- A motorbike tour of HCMC. There
are several options: Vespa Adventures,
Back of the Bike tour and XO tours.
Each of these has several options for
tours of the city.
- Sophie’s Art Tour - a four hour
gallery tour of Vietnamese history
and art history.
- A cooking class. There are a few
notable cooking classes in HCMC:
Saigon Cooking Class at Hoa Tuc,
KOTO Cooking Class and Grain by
Luke Nguyen Cooking Class. These
are a great introduction to VN cuisine
and will give you a few ideas of what
- Check out some of the sights: Notre
Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office,
Reunification Palace, War Remnants
Museum, Museum of VN History,
Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Vinh
Nghiem Pagoda, Ben Thanh Market.
13
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SETTLING IN
READY TO EXPLORE THE CITY?
- Try to Escape from Escape Room on
the 5th floor of Crescent Mall. You
and a group of friends have to use the
elements of the room to solve a series
of puzzles and find clues to escape
the room before time is up.
- There are many excellent cinemas
in Phu My Hung - CGV Cinemas are
in Vivo City, Parkson Paragon and
Crescent Mall. Vivo City also has an
IMAX Cinema.
- Explore ‘backpackers area’ - Pham
Ngu Lao, D1. This is a vibrant part
of the city that seems to never sleep.
There are many restaurants, bars,
cafes, tailors and places to book short
tours around and outside of the city.
- Check out the AO Show at
the Opera House. A beautiful
combination of dance and acrobatics
tells the history of Vietnam.

SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
READY TO TRAVEL IN VN?
Great places for weekend getaways:
- Long Hai/Ho Tram are the nearest beaches - about one hour and a half from
HCMC. There is not much in the area, however, so getaways here are
mostly spent at your hotel/resort.
- Vung Tau is around one hour and a half from HCMC by car. It’s a bigger city
so you can go to the beach and explore further afield than your hotel.
- There are several great day trips and two day-one night trips to the Mekong
Delta from HCMC.
- Hoi An and Nha Trang can be quick weekend getaways, but do require flights.
Top Tips for travel within VN:
- Central Vietnam is often hit by large tropical storms from OctoberNovember. It is best to avoid this area then.
- VN beaches are extremely busy during public holidays.
- Tet is an incredibly busy time to travel. Flights sell out early, prices increase.
Book as early as possible. It can be lovely to spend Tet in HCMC. The city
is very quiet and relaxing. Be prepared though - most amenities (including
supermarkets) and many restaurants/cafes will be closed for several days.
- Hoi An is generally a highlight of anyone’s trip to Vietnam. You cannot fly
into Hoi An, rather you must fly to Danang. From Danang you can take a
taxi, or have pre-arranged airport pick-up with your hotel for the roughly
40 minute drive to Hoi An. Hoi An is a quaint little town, very popular with
tourists. It is easy to walk around as motorbikes and cars are forbidden in the
old quarter.
15
SAIGON SURVIVAL GUIDE 2015 - 2016
HELPFUL HINTS FOR SETTLING IN
- Mui Ne is about a 4 to 5 hour drive from HCMC or a roughly 4 hour train
ride. It’s a great location for long weekends. There are lots of restaurants,
hotels/resorts, sailing and kite surfing schools and few other activities.
- Nha Trang and Phu Quoc Island are
relaxing beach getaways. Phu Quoc
is harder to get to for a weekend as
the flight times are not particularly
convenient.
- The north offers many exciting
travel opportunities. The capital city,
Hanoi, is a must. From Hanoi you
can travel to Ha Long Bay, one of
the most beautiful places in Vietnam.
No trip to VN is complete without
at least one night spent on a boat in
Ha Long Bay. Another exciting and
beautiful place to explore in northern
Vietnam is Sapa.
- Hue is the ancient capital. It is rich
in history and interesting to explore.
The drive between Hoi An and Hue
offers some of the most stunning
scenery in Vientam.
- Of course this list is not exhaustive,
but it is generally the highlights of
any time spent in Vietnam.
- Son Doong Cave was recently
discovered and has only been open
to the public for a few years. It is
an exciting new place to explore in
Vietnam.
