The underground tunnel network used during the Vietnam War is one of the most physically educational historical experiences in the country. See the Cu Chi Tunnels guide for full details. <strong>Best for:<\/strong> history and war context. <strong>Half-day or full day:<\/strong> Half-day is sufficient for Ben Dinh; allow a full day if going to Ben Duoc.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mekong_Delta_70%E2%80%9390km_2_hours\"><\/span>Mekong Delta (~70\u201390km, 2 hours)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Mekong Delta \u2014 the vast river delta that forms the agricultural heartland of Southern Vietnam \u2014 is a landscape that exists in almost complete contrast to Saigon&#8217;s density. Flat, green, threaded with river channels, and moving at a pace that feels like a different country. Day trips typically visit My Tho (the closest Mekong town) or Can Tho (the delta&#8217;s largest city, but 3.5 hours away \u2014 better as an overnight trip).<\/p>\n<p>A My Tho day trip from Saigon includes a boat journey along river channels, visits to coconut candy workshops and fruit gardens on river islands, and a lunch of Mekong Delta river fish. The experience is genuinely beautiful and completely unlike anything in the city. <strong>Best for:<\/strong> landscape, river life, and a break from urban intensity. <strong>Time needed:<\/strong> Full day (depart 7am, return 6pm).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vung_Tau_125km_2_hours_by_ferry_or_25_by_road\"><\/span>V\u0169ng T\u00e0u (~125km, 2 hours by ferry or 2.5 by road)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>V\u0169ng T\u00e0u is the coastal city where Saigon residents go to the beach. It&#8217;s not a pristine beach destination \u2014 the water is murky by tropical standards and the resort infrastructure is dated \u2014 but it has a genuine character as a Vietnamese beach town with good seafood, a colonial lighthouse, the giant Christ statue visible from the coast, and a pace of life that&#8217;s genuinely relaxed. The ferry from Saigon&#8217;s Bach Dang Wharf (District 1) takes 2 hours and is significantly more pleasant than driving. <strong>Best for:<\/strong> those who want a change of scene and don&#8217;t mind that the beach is secondary to the atmosphere. <strong>Not recommended for:<\/strong> those expecting Southeast Asian beach quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tay_Ninh_and_the_Cao_Dai_Temple_100km_2_hours\"><\/span>T\u00e2y Ninh and the Cao \u0110\u00e0i Temple (~100km, 2 hours)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Cao \u0110\u00e0i Great Temple in T\u00e2y Ninh is one of the most visually extraordinary buildings in Vietnam \u2014 a syncretic religious temple that combines elements of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Catholicism into an architecture that looks like a fever dream collaboration between Gaudi and a Vietnamese temple architect. The noon ceremony (11am) is when worshippers in white robes fill the temple \u2014 arriving by 10:30am positions you to observe. Often combined with a Cu Chi Tunnels visit (both are northwest of Saigon). <strong>Best for:<\/strong> architecture and religious culture. <strong>Time needed:<\/strong> Half-day if combined with Cu Chi, full day solo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sd-info-box\">\n<div class=\"sd-info-title\">Thong Tin Nhanh<\/div>\n<div class=\"sd-info-grid\">\n<div class=\"sd-info-row\"><span class=\"sd-info-key\">Price<\/span><span class=\"sd-info-val\">Organised tours: 200,000\u2013600,000 VND per person depending on destination.
