Things to do in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: The Best Shopping
Vietnam's bustling largest city sets the cultural and economic pace for the country. The former Saigon boasts charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards, usually thronged and choked with traffic. Taxis are an option for seeing the sprawling city. The War Remnants Museum shows the Vietnam War through Vietnamese eyes. Don't miss the impressive Jade Emperor Pagoda. Go to the frenetic Ben Thanh Market for food, flowers or frogs. Tour through the Mekong Delta, past rice paddies and houseboats.

Small shop conveniently located on Dong Khoi. Beautiful photographs to take a look at it; and better yet, it's right next to L'usine. Check out the art and then grab Happy Hour next door.

Very nice exhibition space in the center of HCMC. Came to see a series of paintings by the Vietnamese painter Pham Thanh Toan and was highly impressed and surprised by the kind of 'more intense' artworks this country has to offer. Would definitely come for another show in the future.

What a pleasant surprise. We went there expecting art in the normal sense of the word. As is gallery. What we found was something out of a childhood fairy tale book. We a lot of pictures, the proposed poses was a big help ????. Our whatsapp profiles pics were updated ????. We really enjoyed the experience. I would really recommend a visit for a couple of hours of just fun, and take the kids.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
The Factory Contemporary Arts Centre is the first purpose-built space for contemporary art in Vietnam. As an independent organization, we are a ‘factory’ of critical ideas; a site of constant physical transformation; a network of people who strive to speak about tangible and intangible cultural memories that matter and are indelibly unique. Located 20 minutes east of the centre of Ho Chi Minh City in Thao Dien, in District 2, The Factory’s unique architecture with over 500m2 stands out as a beacon of creative spirit.

Aeon Malls are always a pleasure to spend time in, whether for shopping, dining, watching movies or even kill time on window shopping. The Aeon Malls we’ve visited in Japan and Malaysia all carry the same appeal of affordability and luxury in terms of design and layout. This Vietnam Aeon Mall in Celadon is no exception. It is easily accessible by taxi and bus from District 1. It is spacious and offers a wide variety of retail outlets for shopping. It also offers a large food court and a new CGV movie theater. There is a Decathlon outlet, Timezone entertainment center and Kohnan Japan home center inside. They have plenty of seats for tired shoppers, something that many malls do not offer. Hence, this is unique perhaps to Aeon. Due to its endless dining options and equally numerous shopping outlets, both branded and local, I feel that this mall is complete with anything you would need. I wouldn’t mind coming back here often whenever I visit HCMC.

Very nice place for shopping before heading home. At the third floor there is a supermarket, so you can buy coffee, tea spices, sweets etc. in an air conditioned, quiet atmosphere, free from hassle that is at the market. The prices are also better and you don't need to bargain. At the ground floor there are many stool with good quality T-shirts, souvenirs and leather goods. I love to get back here without the time limit :)
