Ho Chi Minh Museum in Hanoi - A Surreal Experience
BRAND NEW!!! Check out my DJI Osmo Pocket Test Footage:
We visited the Ho Chi Minh Museum in Ho Chi Minh City und weren't much impressed. So when we heard about a similar museum in honor of the great leader we weren't even sure if we want to visit.
We did and we're so happy we visited the museum. The interior design is a must see and his story very interesting.

When I was in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), along with eating as much Vietnamese food as I could, one of my goals was to film a travel video about some of the best things to do in Saigon. After putting together a complete list, it turned out to be 23, and I hope this list of attractions will help and inspire you to visit Vietnam’s largest and most exciting city.
1. Binh Tay Market - Binh Tay Market is one of the largest wholesale distribution markets, and a perfect place to go if you’re looking to go shopping in Ho Chi Minh City.
2. Thien Hau Temple (Pagoda) - Located in Chinatown, in District 5, the temple is dedicated to Thien Hau and I really loved the sculptures and the elaborate design of the temple.
3. Museum of Ho Chi Minh City - This museum offers a glimpse into the history and development of the city and Vietnam.
4. Bitexco Financial Tower - This is the tallest building in Saigon, and you can either go to the Skydeck or a cafe at the top for a view of the city.
5. Independence Palace (Reunification Palace) - Probably one of the most well known tourism things to do in Saigon is to visit the Independence Palace, the the former home of the president of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
6. Saigon Cathedral of Notre Dame - With the French influence in Vietnam, the Notre Dame cathedral is a beautiful Catholic church. Attend a service or just visit.
7. Central Post Office - Designed by Gustave Eiffel, the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City is an attraction mainly for its design and architecture. It’s a beautiful building.
8. War Remnants Museum - Although this is not one of the happiest attractions in Saigon, it’s a place to remember and honor the horrible events that are a result of a war.
9. Opera House - Right in Dong Khoi area, and there are still opera shows available.
10. Dong Khoi Street - This is the height of high end shopping in Saigon.
11. Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens - The zoo itself is not too great, but the beauty of the Saigon zoo is the botanical gardens, and the lush gardens, and taking a break from the city.
12. FITO Museum (Museum of Traditional Vietnamese Medicine) - I was quite impressed by the Vietnamese medicine private museum - very interactive and educational.
13. San Art Laboratory – If you love modern art, the San Art Laboratory is a great place to see and visit in Saigon.

16. Phu My Hung and Starlight Bridge - Located outside of central Ho Chi Minh City, Phu My Hung is a modern development, and a great place to walk around.
17. Water Puppet Show - Though originally from the north of Vietnam, water puppet shows are popular also in Saigon. I went to the Golden Dragon Water Puppet theater.
18. Museum of Vietnamese History - Probably one of the most extensive and important museum showing the history of Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City.
19. Rooftop Bar - Seeing Saigon from above offers a great perspective.
20. Fine Arts Museum - This was my favorite of all the museums in Saigon. The museum is housed in a well preserved building, and the art is amazing - located right in District 1 across the roundabout from Ben Thanh Market.
21. Jade Emperor Pagoda - Dedicated to the Jade Emperor, the pagoda has a real ancient feel to it, and it’s worth seeing when you visit.
22. Local Wet Market - One of my favorite things to do is visit a local fresh wet market, which you’ll find all over the city. The ingredients, food, and culture, all stand out at fresh markets.

HO CHI MINH CITY: hectic streets, Cu Chi Tunnels & War Remnants Museum
Learned so much in Ho Chi Minh. The Cu Chi Tunnels were so interesting but so creepy! the War Remnants Museum was very informative and moving.
War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) - Vietnam 4K Travel Channel
The War Remnants Museum is one of the most popular museums in Vietnam. In our youth, the images of the Vietnam War have dominated the day. However, the images were mostly filtered by the Americans and the comments influenced by their policies. Here one has the possibility to take a look at this war from a Vietnamese perspective.
Besides American military equipment, there is a large collection of images showing the war crimes of the Americans and their South Vietnamese allies.
In the outdoor area of the museum is an exhibition of various guns, tanks, helicopters, and airplanes. Between you find unexploded and defused ammunition. The exhibition gives a small impression of the technical effort, with which the United States attempted to win this war.
The reproduction of a torture prison, of which there were several in South Vietnam, gives an insight into the torture practices during the war. The best-known prisons are Con Dao (Con Son) and Phu Quoc. Most were already built by the French. During the Vietnam War, they were expanded with American support and operated by the South Vietnamese. The cells were very small and usually occupied with five prisoners. The prisoners were tied up with steel brackets at the legs. This restricted the freedom of movement so that the prisoners could not stretch themselves out, but could only crouch. But there was still an increase. Low iron cages wrapped with barbed wire. The prisoner injured himself with every movement. One put the cages out in the open so that they were exposed to sun during the day and to the cold during the night. Often during cold one poured water over them, the so-called called tiger wash.
200,000 prisoners were thus held, of which 20,000 died. Many who survived had crippled hands and legs, so they could only move crawling.
In one room you see the last guillotine of Vietnam. The last man who died executed in the guillotine was Hoang Le Kha, whose real name was Hoang Le Can.
Inside the museum building photographs document the war crimes of the Americans and South Vietnamese. Many photos are from the Japanese Vietnam war journalist Bunyo Ishikawa, who donated many pictures of his collection to the museum in 1998.

Das Kriegsrestemuseum (War Remnants Museum) ist eines der populärsten Museen in Vietnam. In unserer Jugend haben die Bilder des Vietnamkriegs das Tagesgeschehen beherrscht. Allerdings waren die Bilder damals größtenteils von den Amerikanern gefiltert und die Kommentare von ihrer Politik beeinflusst. Hier hat man nun die Möglichkeit einen Blick auf diesen Krieg aus vietnamesischer Sicht zu werfen.
Neben Kriegsgerät der Amerikaner gibt es eine umfangreiche Sammlung von Bildern, die die Kriegsverbrechen der Amerikaner und ihrer südvietnamesischen Verbündeten zeigen.
Im Außenbereich des Museums sind verschiedene Geschütze, Panzer, Hubschrauber und Flugzeuge ausgestellt. Dazwischen wird immer wieder nicht explodierte und entschärfte Munition ausgestellt. Die Ausstellung vermittelt einen kleinen Eindruck mit welchem technischen Aufwand die USA versuchten diesen Krieg zu gewinnen.
Der Nachbau eines Foltergefängnisses, von denen es in Südvietnam mehrere gab, erlaubt einen Einblick in die Folterpraktiken während des Krieges. Die bekanntesten Gefängnisse sind Con Dao (Con Son) und Phu Quoc. Meist bereits von den Franzosen erbaut, wurden sie während des Vietnamkrieges mit amerikanischer Unterstützung ausgebaut und von den Südvietnamesen betrieben. Die Zellen waren extrem klein und in der Regel mit fünf Gefangenen belegt, die mit Stahlklammern an den Beinen fixiert wurden. Dadurch war die Bewegungsfreiheit so eingeschränkt, dass die Gefangenen sich nicht ausstrecken, sondern nur gekrümmt kauern konnten.
Aber es gab noch eine Steigerung. Flache Eisenkäfige, die mit Stacheldraht umwickelt waren. Bei jeder Bewegung verletzte sich der Gefangene selbst. Sie wurden im Freien aufgestellt und waren tagsüber voll der Sonne und nachts der Kälte ausgesetzt. Oft wurden sie bei Kälte mit Wasser übergossen. Das wurde dann Tigerwäsche genannt.
200.000 Gefangene wurden so gehalten, davon starben 20.000. Viele, die überlebten, hatten verkrüppelte Hände und Beine, so dass sie sich nur noch kriechend fortbewegen konnten.
In einem Raum wurde die letzte Guillotine von Vietnam gezeigt. Der letzte Mensch, der durch diese starb war Hoang Le Kha, dessen richtiger Name Hoang Le Can lautete. Er war Sekretär des Distrikt-Parteikommitees von Duong Minh Chau.
Im Inneren des Museumsgebäudes dokumentieren Fotos die Kriegsverbrechen der Amerikaner und Südvietnamesen. Viele Fotos stammen von dem japanischen Vietnamkriegsjournalisten Bunyo Ishikawa, der viele Bilder seiner Sammlung 1998 dem Museum stiftete.

The War Remnants Museum is a war museum at 28 Vo Van Tan, in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. It primarily contains exhibits relating to the American phase of the Vietnam War. The War Remnants Museum is currently one of the most popular museums in Vietnam, attracting approximately half a million visitors every year. According to the museum's own estimates, about two-thirds of these are foreigners.
The museum comprises a series of themed rooms in several buildings, with period military equipment placed within a walled yard. The military equipment includes a UH-1 Huey helicopter, an F-5Afighter, aBUL-82 Daisy Cutter bomb, M48 Patton Tank, anA-1 Skyraider attack bomber, and an A-37 Dragonfly attack bomber. There are a number of pieces of unexploded ordance stored in the corner of the yard.
One building reproduces the Tiger case in which the South Vietnamese government kept political prisoners. Other exhibits include graphic photography, accompanied by a short text in English, Vietnamese and Japanese, covering the effects of Agent orange and other chemical defoliant sprays, the use of napalm and phosphrus bombs, and war atrocities such as the My Lai massacre. The photographic display includes work by Vietnam War photojournalist Bunyo Ishikawa that he donated to the museum in 1998. Curiosities include a guillotine used by the French and South Vietnamese to execute prisoners, the last time being in 1960, and three jars of preserved human fetuses allegedly deformed by exposure to dioxins and dioxin-like compounds, contained in the defoliant Agent Orange.
War Remnants Museum, It is formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of Vietnam War. Thanks for your viewing!

War Remnants Museum - Ho Chi Minh City
And incredible, moving and in depth museum. There was so much to take in. A lot of very graphic and moving photos which were hard to see. However it was incredible to learn more about the Vietnam war. Obviously it was quite one sided but not was good to see if from this perspective rather than all the US war films about it.

Saigon's historic rooftop - following the famous photo of the fall of Saigon with Larry Berman
We recently revisited the building made famous in Hu van Es's 29 April 1975 image of the helicopter evacuation of Saigon.
Read the blog and watch the video here -
The image of a helicopter landing on the elevator shaft of what was the Pittman Building (now 22 Ly Tu Trong St), came to symbolise the humiliating end of America's long war in Vietnam. And the rooftop has barely changed. It's a profound experience - even after many visits.
On this occasion we headed up with author Larry Berman. Larry wrote the biography of Pham Xuan An - Perfect Spy. Xuan An worked at the highest levels of the international press in South Vietnam and was communist spy throughout. On April 29, he assisted a friend to leave from the Pittman building.

Ho Chi Minh city, also known as Saigon, is the biggest city in Southern Vietnam. It is more of a sprawling metropolis than Hanoi with its many districts. It is still referred to as Saigon by local & tourist alike. As a first time visitor I stayed at District 1 and explored the wonderful surrounding area on day & Night tours.
Things I covered on Day 2 in Ho chi Minh City:
Admittedly, Ho chi Minh City isn’t it as full of sight as Hanoi with it’s old quarter, but once you get in to the city, there is a certain vibrant liveliness that you can’t ignore. It has a younger, more urban vibe than its counterpart and with almost two hundred years of French occupation, there is plenty to see.
1 - Dinner Cruise: Cruising along Saigon river brings lot of relaxing feeling with cool breeze and nice weather. There are plenty of companies who offer these dinner cruising services which generally starts in the evening around 7 PM and takes you around the Saigon river to get panoramic view of Ho Chi Minh city colorful skyline with delicious Vietnamese food & some wonderful performances by the locals.This 2 hours dinner cruise may cost you in the range of 25 to 35 $ per person, as its prices varies company to company.
2 - Ben Thanh Market:
Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 is a great place to buy local handicrafts, branded goods, Vietnamese art and other souvenirs. Here, you’ll find eating stalls inside the market where you can get a taste of hawker-style Vietnamese cuisine or simply cool off with a cold drink when the bargaining becomes too much. The market is big, difficult to navigate at times and certainly best avoided during the hottest part of the day but all the same its well worth a look. When night falls, restaurants around the perimeter of the market open their doors creating a vibrant street side scene filling the air with the scents of wok-fried noodles, barbecued fish and meats. One of Saigon’s oldest landmarks, Ben Thanh offers a great atmosphere that is absolutely authentically Vietnamese.
3 - War Remnants Museum:
The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City first opened to the public in 1975. Once known as the ‘Museum of American War Crimes’, it's a shocking reminder of the long and brutal Vietnam War. Graphic photographs and American military equipment are on display. There's a helicopter with rocket launchers, a tank, a fighter plane, a single-seater attack aircraft. You can also see a conventional bomb that weighs at 6,800kg. American troops had used these weapons against the Vietnamese between 1945 and 1975.
The most talked-about exhibits at the War Remnants Museum are the ‘tiger cages'. The South Vietnamese government kept their political prisoners in these confinements. Locals believe the cages imprisoned up to 14 people at a time. The museum also has a guillotine brought in by the French government. Both the French and South Vietnamese used it to execute their prisoners until 1960. Also featured are grisly photos of victims that had suffered ‘Agent Orange’. As many as 4.8 million people were exposed to strong pesticide and chemical spray. The Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs believed 500,000 children were born with birth defects. The War Remnants Museum is in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City. It's every day from 07:30 to 17:00. A visit to this war museum can be disturbing experience for most people. Although children can enter, we highly advise against it.
Opening Hours: Daily 07.30 - 12.00 & 13:30 – 17:00
Location: 28 Vo Van Tan, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City

Exploring Saigon - Food, War Remnants Museum, & Ben Thanh Market
In this Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) travel and food vlog, get ready for lots of delicious food, and some of attractions in the city. More coming here:
I was attempting to go to the extremely famous Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa (Banh Mi Huynh Hoa), but somehow I missed that they were only open beginning in the afternoon, so instead I found another banh mi restaurant called Bánh Mì Hồng Hoa, which actually proved to be one of my favorite versions of the trip (I did end up going to Bánh Mì Huỳnh Hoa (Banh Mi Huynh Hoa) another time, so another video about that coming soon). But anyway, I ordered the normal special banh mi, a Vietnamese sandwich stuffed into a crusty baguette, and it was incredibly good. The bread was crusty and fresh, and they included just the right amount of toppings and ratio of ingredients. Happy full of the banh mi for breakfast, we then continued walking, and next stopped for a cup of Vietnamese coffee, which always hits the spot.
One of my goals for visiting Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), was to film a video about the top things to do, the attractions of the city. So after we ate breakfast, we then took a walk over to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, sort of in the main center of Saigon. The cathedral is a beautiful structure, and I did some filming and videos of both inside and outside the church. Right across the road from Notre Dame in Saigon is the Saigon Post Office, which I had actually visited the day before.
Next stop, we headed to the War Remnants Museum of Saigon, a museum in the central area of the city that showcases displays of mostly photography depicting the horrible acts and results of the Vietnam War. It definitely wasn’t a light museum, and nor was it much fun to visit, but it did offer a glimpse into the terrible events. After the museum, we then went to Tao Dan Park, which is located just across the street, where we just walked around.
After doing some sightseeing in Saigon, we were pretty hot and hungry, so walking around, we found a small restaurant, called Com Tam 77 to stop for lunch. The restaurant was located just on the outside of Tao Dan Park, not far from the Reunification Palace. I ordered one of the most popular Saigon Vietnamese dishes, a dish known as com tam suon, broken rice topped with a grilled pork chop, and an optional, but highly delicious fried egg on the top. The meal was very tasty, and it truly hit the spot.
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel, as the sun was beating down, and it looked like it would rain. I had a chance to do some work, and write some articles and edit some videos, and then we came out again to explore at around 4 pm when it was much cooler. We headed back to Ben Thanh Market, the central main market of the city, before moving outside, walking around for a bit more, and then finally finishing the great day off with a meal at a kind of chain restaurant in Saigon known as Pho Hung. It was nice to get some AC and cool off, and I have to admit that my bowl of pho bo, or Vietnamese beef pho was actually quite good.
I hope you enjoyed this video blog about traveling, eating, and visiting some attractions in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam. Please give it a thumbs up, and I would really be grateful if you would share this video with a friend!

Vietnamese Water Puppet Show in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam
This is a travel video of a Vietnamese Water Puppet Show that took place in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. : Water puppetry (Vietnamese: Múa rối nước, lit. puppets that dance on water) is a tradition that dates back as far as the 11th century CE when it originated in the villages of the Red River Delta area of northern Vietnam.

Đây là một đoạn video du lịch của một nước Nhà hát múa rối Việt đã diễn ra tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh (Sài Gòn), Việt Nam. Múa rối nước (Việt Nam:. Mua roi nuoc, ánh sáng con rối nhảy múa trên mặt nước) là một truyền thống mà ngày trở lại như xa như thế kỷ 11 khi nó có nguồn gốc trong các làng của khu vực đồng bằng sông Hồng ở miền Bắc Việt Nam. Múa rối nước Việt Nam ngày nay là một biến thể duy nhất về truyền thống múa rối cổ đại châu Á.
The puppets are made out of wood and then lacquered. The shows are performed in a waist-deep pool. A large rod supports the puppet under the water and is used by the puppeteers, who are normally hidden behind a screen, to control them. Thus the puppets appear to be moving over the water. When the rice fields would flood, the villagers would entertain each other using this form of puppet play.
Modern water puppetry is performed in a pool of water 4 meters square with the water surface being the stage. Performance today occurs on one of three venues—on traditional ponds in villages where a staging area has been set up, on portable tanks built for traveling performers, or in a specialized building where a pool stage has been constructed[4].
Up to 8 puppeteers stand behind a split-bamboo screen, decorated to resemble a temple facade, and control the puppets using long bamboo rods and string mechanism hidden beneath the water surface. The puppets are carved out of wood and often weigh up to 15 kg.
A traditional Vietnamese orchestra provides background music accompaniment. The instrumentation includes vocals, drums, wooden bells, cymbals, horns, Đàn bầu (monochord), gongs, and bamboo flutes. The bamboo flute's clear, simple notes may accompany royalty while the drums and cymbals may loudly announce a fire-breathing dragon's entrance.[5]
Singers of chèo (a form of opera originating in north Vietnam) sing songs which tell the story being acted out by the puppets. The musicians and the puppets interact during performance; the musicians may yell a word of warning to a puppet in danger or a word of encouragement to a puppet in need.
The puppets enter from either side of the stage, or emerge from the murky depths of the water.
Spotlights and colorful flags adorn the stage and create a festive atmosphere.

Hồ Chí Minh
19 May 1890 -- 2 September 1969), born Nguyễn Sinh Cung and also known as Nguyễn Tất Thành and Nguyễn Ái Quốc, was a Vietnamese Communist revolutionary leader who was prime minister (1945--1955) and president (1945--1969) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam). He was a key figure in the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945, as well as the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the Viet Cong (NLF or VC) during the Vietnam War.
He led the Viet Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the communist-ruled Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at battle of Dien Bien Phu. He officially stepped down from power in 1955 due to health problems, but remained a highly visible figurehead and inspiration for Vietnamese fighting for his cause -- a united, communist Vietnam -- until his death. After the war, Saigon, capital of the Republic of Vietnam, was renamed Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam. It was once known as Prey Nokor, an important Khmer sea port prior to annexation by the Vietnamese in the 17th century.
Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochin-china and later of the independent republic of South Vietnam from 1955--75. South Vietnam, as an anti-communist, capitalist republic, fought against the communist North Vietnamese and Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, with aid from the United States and countries including Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. Saigon fell when it was captured by the communists on 30 April 1975, ending the war with a Communist victory. Vietnam was then turned into a communist state with the South overtaken. On 2 July 1976, Saigon merged with the surrounding Gia Định Province and was officially renamed Ho Chi Minh City after Hồ Chí Minh (although the name Sài Gòn is still commonly used).
The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the South China Sea and 1,760 kilometers (1,090 mi) south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
The metropolitan area, which consists of the Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, Thủ Dầu Một, Dĩ An, Biên Hòa and surrounding towns, is populated by more than 9,000,000 people, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam and the countries of the former French Indochina. The city's population is expected to grow to 13.9 million in 2025.
The greater Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area, a metropolitan area covering most parts of Đông Nam Bộ plus Tiền Giang and Long An provinces under planning, will have an area of 30,000 square kilometers with a population of 20 million inhabitants by 2020. According to the Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Economist Intelligence Unit and ECA International, Ho Chi Minh City is ranked 132 on the list of world's most expensive cities for expatriate employees.Wikipedia

Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Min (Saigon), Vietnam
Reunification Palace isn’t really used much anymore. It’s an historical relic of an era that ended only 40 years ago. It was in use for less than 8 years, between October 1967 and 21 April 1975. In the sprawling grounds are vivid reminders of how it all ended, with a tank crashing through the front gate and bringing the Vietnam War to an end.
At the end of this one minute video, there is a quick video explaining all about the Vietnam war.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Oct 2015 | Twobirdsbreakingfree
A journey through Ho Chi Minh city in southern Vietnam. Also known as Saigon, this city is a massive sprawling giant that spreads out in all directions and is subdivided into 16 districts. We help you to make some sense of this frenzied city and show you the highlights that should be included on any visit.
Explore the Dong Khoi area, where you’ll find the more glamorous hotels, boutique & souvenir shops and the tallest building in the city: the Bitexco financial tower. Bargain hard for souvenirs and other goods and at the hectic Ben Thanh market, explore cholon (chinatown) and it’s tranquil pagodas, scented with burning incense sticks, stroll through the city parks and watch the locals play the national sport: da cau where they keep a weighted shuttlecock airborne without using the hands, enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city while having a drink at any of the rooftop bars, witness the french architecture everywhere, from the post office to notre dame cathedral, take a few hours to wander through the fine arts museum, gain an insight into the American war in Vietnam in the very popular War Remnants museum, watch a water-puppet show, discover a little about the country’s rich wildlife at Ho Chi Minh zoo, have a fun-filled day at the fairy-tale like Suoi Tien theme park or at one of Saigon’s water parks. Sample the very best of Vietnamese cuisine in the high-end restaurants or eat just like the locals from street stalls.
Whether its food, history, culture, religion, architecture, theme parks, zoos, the frenzied pace of life or a combination of all of these things that attract you to cities, Ho Chi Minh city has you covered. If you’re in southern Vietnam, it’s best to begin your trip here, in the very heart of the south.
