While you're there, don't forget to explore the FITO Museum and the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre both Ho Chi Minh City highlights.
August brings one of Vietnam's most important national celebrations - the Mid-Autumn Festival. Usually occurring on a full moon, this colourful event in celebration of the harvest includes parades, brightly lit lanterns, music, food and much more.
With great service and excellent amenities, Catina Saigon Hotel is a good choice in terms of accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City, as is Temple Club.
