Xoshimin shahri - Ho Chi Minh City

Xoshimin shahri (Vetnamcha: Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh), odatda sifatida tanilgan Saygon (Vetnamcha: Sai Gòn) yoki qisqartmalar bilan HCMC yoki HCM, eng katta shahar Vetnam (aholisi va maydoni) va Vetnam Respublikasining sobiq poytaxti (Janubiy Vetnam).

Tushuning

1975 yilda Saygon qulaganidan so'ng, Saygon nomi o'zgartirildi Xoshimin shahri. Biroq Saygonning qadimgi nomi hali ham vetnamliklar va chet elliklar tomonidan ishlatilmoqda, ayniqsa shaharning aksariyat sayyohlar tashrif buyuradigan eng markaziy qismi haqida gap ketganda. Birlashgan Vetnamning poytaxti shimolda Xanoy bo'lsa-da, Xoshimin Vetnamning asosiy iqtisodiy va moliyaviy markazi bo'lib qolmoqda. Shaharlarga yoqadigan uzoq tarixga ega bo'lmasa-da Xanoy va Tus bor, bu Vetnamning eng zamonaviy va kosmopolit shahri, Frantsiyaning sobiq mustamlakachi hukmdorlari va Cho'londagi etnik xitoylar jamoatchiligi mahalliy madaniyatga chuqur singib ketgan, ehtimol uning oshxonasida eng ko'zga ko'ringan shahar.

Garchi Vetnam tuzilgandan buyon birlashgan bo'lsa ham Vetnam urushi, Vetnamning bo'linishidan kelib chiqadigan madaniy farqlarni bugungi kungacha ko'rish mumkin. Shu kungacha Xoshimin shahridagi mahalliy aholi shimolda joylashgan Xanoydagilarga qaraganda ishbilarmon va g'oyaviy jihatdan kamroq. Bundan tashqari, janubliklar shimolliklarga qaraganda G'arb mehmonlariga nisbatan mehmondo'stroq bo'lishadi. Vetnam urushi - Vetnamda "Amerika urushi" deb nomlangan - bu hali ham dolzarb mavzu bo'lib qolmoqda va uni mahalliy aholi bilan bahslashmaslik kerak. Vetnamliklarning barchasi bir xil fikrda, deb o'ylamang, chunki ko'plab janubliklar shimolga yutqazish haqida achchiqlanishmoqda.

Tarix

Mintaqadagi aholi punktining dastlabki dalillari Funan imperiyasi (Milodiy 1 - VI asrlar). Funan imperiyasi qulaganidan so'ng, bu hudud oxir-oqibat o'z nazorati ostiga o'tdi Champa, shu vaqt ichida unga nom berildi Baigaur. Ning ko'tarilishi bilan Khmer imperiyasi, Chamlarni oxir-oqibat chiqarib yuborishdi va turar joy Kxmer imperiyasiga qo'shilib, qayta nomlandi Yirtqich Nokor. Kxmerlar imperiyasi qulaganidan keyin ham saqlanib qolgan etnik kxmerlar soniga ega bo'lib, XVII asrga kelibgina bu erga etnik Vetnamliklar o'rnashishni boshladilar. 1698 yilda, shu vaqtgacha u etnik Vetnam ko'pchiligiga ega edi Nguyen lordlari Vyetnam ma'muriy tuzilmalarini barpo etish uchun Nguyon Xyu Kuni hududga yubordi va shu bilan uni Vetnam tarkibiga kiritdi. Lê sulolasi. Vaqt o'tishi bilan Prey Nokor shahri Vetnam nomi bilan mashhur bo'ldi Sai Gòn.

Saygon frantsuzlarga berildi Saygon shartnomasi 1862 yilda va Frantsiya mustamlakasining poytaxtiga aylandi Cochinchina, bu bugungi Vyetnam janubining aksariyat qismini qamrab olgan. Natijada, shahar boy frantsuz mustamlakachilik merosiga ega bo'lib, shahar markazida ko'plab ajoyib frantsuz mustamlakachilik binolari va kuchli kafe madaniyati bilan bir qatorda. 1955 yilda mustaqillikka erishgandan so'ng Saygon kapitalistik Janubiy Vetnamning poytaxtiga aylandi Xanoy kommunistik Shimoliy Vetnamning poytaxtiga aylanish. Saygon 1975 yilda kommunistik Shimoliy Vetnam kuchlari tomonidan qo'lga olingan va shu bilan Vetnamni kommunistik boshqaruv ostida birlashtirgan. Shahar nomi o'zgartirildi Xoshimin shahri 1976 yilda g'olib g'olib bo'lgan kommunistlar tomonidan, garchi eski Saygon nomi mahalliy aholi tomonidan odatlanib kelinmoqda. Xanoy birlashgan Vetnamning poytaxtiga aylangan va qolsa ham, Xoshimin Vetnamning eng yirik shahri va asosiy iqtisodiy markazi bo'lib kelmoqda.

Kelajak

Say Gon daryosining sharqiy qismida joylashgan Thu Tiem tumani 2010 yilda ko'p qavatli qayta qurish uchun tozalangan. Hukumat 1-tuman aholisini yangi uyga ko'chirishni, so'ngra ushbu tumanning ko'p qismini qayta qurishni rejalashtirmoqda.

Iqlim

Xoshimin shahri tropik iqlimga ega, nam va quruq fasllarga ega. Dekabrdan maygacha bo'lgan quruq mavsum. Tashrif buyuradigan eng yoqimli vaqt - harorat va namlik pastroq bo'lgan dekabrdan fevralgacha. Mart va aprel oylari 40 ° C (104 ° F) gacha bo'lgan harorat bilan issiq. Nam mavsum uzoq, odatda mayda boshlanadi va oktyabrda tugaydi yuqori harorat va namlik bilan ajralib turadi. Bulutli ob-havo ko'proq uchraydi, ammo quyoshli vaqtlar nam mavsumda ro'y beradi.

Gapir

Vetnamning aksariyat qismlarida bo'lgani kabi, asosiy til ham Vetnam. Mahalliy lahja - janubiy, bu gaplashadigan shimoliy lahjadan biroz farq qiladi Xanoygarchi ikkala lahjada so'zlashuvchilar odatda bir-birini tushunishga qodir. Ingliz tilida yosh va o'qimishli yuqori sinfning aksariyati gaplashadi. Odatda o'qimishli keksa fuqarolar gaplashishga qodir Frantsuz, umuman olganda, hozirgi kunda ingliz tili ancha foydali.

Xoshimin shahri, shuningdek, asosan Chinatown atrofida joylashgan etnik xitoylik hamjamiyatning uyidir va ularning aksariyati ikki tilli Kanton va Vetnam. Ularning ko'plari Mandarin tilida ham gapirishadi.

Chiqinglar

Samolyotda

• 10.818889106.6519441 Tan Son Nhat xalqaro aeroporti (SGN ^IATA Tân Sơn Nhất) (Aeroport shahar markazidan taxminan 8 km uzoqlikda joylashgan.). Vetnamning eng yirik xalqaro aeroporti. Ikkita terminal mavjud: yorqin, yoqimli xalqaro terminal va qadimgi, ammo 200 metr masofada ishlaydigan ichki terminal. Siz qo'nganingizdan keyin bojsiz xarid bo'lmaydi - Vetnamga tashrif buyuradigan aeroportda bunday narsalarni sotib oling. Xalqaro terminalda bir qator oziq-ovqat variantlari mavjud va narxlar Xoshimin shahriga qaraganda yuqori (aksariyat aeroportlarda bo'lgani kabi), byudjetga eng yaqin bo'lganlar bundan mustasno, hammaga hamyonbop narxlarda ovqatlanishlari mumkin. narxlar.  

Immigratsiya va valyuta

Aeroportdagi immigratsiya protokollari juda soddalashtirilgan. Endi yo'lovchilarning aksariyati immigratsiya yoki bojxona deklaratsiyalari kartalarini to'ldirishlari shart emas. (Ikkinchisi, agar siz Vetnamda uzoq vaqt qolmoqchi bo'lsangiz yoki g'ayrioddiy tovarlarni olib yurmoqchi bo'lsangiz, birinchisi, viza olish uchun kerak bo'lganda kerak bo'lishi mumkin). Bagaj karusellari immigratsiya kabinalaridan bir daraja pastda. Cheklangan hududdan chiqishdan oldin siz ro'yxatdan o'tgan va qo'lda olib yuradigan yuklarni rentgen nuridan o'tkazishingiz kerak.

Bojxonalarni rasmiylashtirgandan so'ng, chap va o'ng tomoningizda valyuta ayirboshlash kabinalarini topasiz. Vetnam valyutasi dong. Aeroportdagi valyuta kurslari raqobatbardosh, lekin birinchi navbatda komissiya bor-yo'qligini so'rang, chunki bu pulni almashtirish narxini oshiradi va kursning har qanday ustunligini bekor qiladi. Shaharda unchalik qulay bo'lmagan stavkalarga ega bo'lgan plyuskalardan ko'ra, bu erda bir oz pulni almashtirish yaxshiroqdir. Shaharda eng yaxshi narxlarni darhol Ben Thanh bozorining g'arbiy qismida joylashgan Xam Tam pul birjasida va Nguyon Xu yuradigan ko'chadan Hung Long pul birjasida topish mumkin. Valyuta ayirboshlash shoxobchalari yonida ikkita Citibank bankomati mavjud. Pulni olib qo'yish narxi 60 000 dong. Maksimal pul olish - bir vaqtning o'zida 6.000.000 dong. Bundan tashqari, Citibank'ning qarama-qarshi bankomati ham bor, lekin u belgilangan narxdan foizlarni oladi, bu esa ancha qimmatga tushadi.

Shahar markaziga borish

Avtobus

109-sonli aeroport avtobusi (sariq) xalqaro aeroport va shahar markazini (Fham Ngu Lao ko'chasi) bog'laydi. Ushbu avtobus ertasi kuni soat 05:30 dan 01:30 gacha ishlaydi, chastotasi 15-20 minut / sayohat va sayohatning davomiyligi taxminan 45 minut. Tan Son Nhat xalqaro aeroportidan sayohat qilayotgan yo'lovchilar avtobusda 15-kolonnada (Xalqaro terminal) yoki 18-ustunda (Ichki terminal) o'tirishi mumkin.

Shahar markazidan aeroportga etib borish uchun, Fam Ngu Lao ko'chasidagi Mahalliy avtovokzalga boring (qarang) Atrofga> Avtobusda boring)

152-sonli shahar avtobusi (yashil rang) aeroportdan Pham Ngu Lao ko'chasiga boradigan eng arzon yo'ldir. Ushbu avtobuslarning hech bo'lmaganda ba'zilari konditsioner hisoblanadi. (Sizga endi aeroportda avtobuslar yo'q deb aytayotgan taksichilarga e'tibor bermang.) Bir kishiga 6000 dong va sumkalar uchun 4000 dong to'lovi evaziga avtobus sizni Pham Ngu Lao zonasining sharqiy qismida (avtobus terminalida) tushiradi.

Xalqaro aeroport terminalidan chiqib, o'ngga buriling va Burger King qarshisida yo'lda kutayotgan avtobusni ko'rishingiz kerak. Avtobus bekatining qaerdaligini ko'rsatadigan hech qanday belgi yo'q, ammo agar siz formali taksichidan so'rasangiz, u sizga ko'rsatib beradi. Agar yo'q bo'lsa, uch daqiqalik masofada joylashgan ichki terminalga boring. Avtobus faqat soat 18:00 gacha ishlaydi.

119-sonli aeroport avtobusi Mien Tay avtovokzaliga boradi. U erdan siz Can Tho-ga ekspres avtobusda borishingiz mumkin.

Taksi

Agar siz Grab dasturidan foydalansangiz va dasturga belgilangan manzilingizni kiritsangiz, siz va haydovchi so'z almashishingiz shart emas. Bu oddiy taksilarga qaraganda arzonroq.

E'tibor bering: ba'zi sayohatchilar aeroportda taksilar firibgarligi ko'payganligi haqida xabar berishdi. Firibgarlikka yo'l qo'ymaslik uchun bu erdagi ma'lumotlarni ham o'qing "Atrofga boring" Bo'lim.

Xalqaro terminal

Aeroportdan shahar markaziga (1-tuman) taksi olib borishning uchta varianti mavjud:

• Asosiy taksi navbati. Terminal binosining pastki qavatidagi asosiy eshiklardan chiqishda asosiy taksilar navbati chap tomonda. Ba'zi sayohatchilar taksilarni taklif qilayotgan yoki aeroportdagi peshtaxtalardan chipta sotib olishni maslahat beradigan odamlarga e'tibor bermasdan, taksilar navbati tomon borishingizni maslahat berishadi. May Linx va Vinasun eng xavfsiz taksi kompaniyalari.
• Mai Linh hisoblagichi terminal binosida. Mai Linh taksi kompaniyasida sizning bojxonangizni rasmiylashtirgandan so'ng sizning o'ng tomoningizda hisoblagich mavjud. Siz u erdagi xodimdan taksi buyurtma qilishingiz va to'lashingiz mumkin. Keyin u sizni terminal binosidan taksi navbatiga olib boradi va siz uchun May Linh taksisini tashkil qiladi. Aeroportdan shahar markaziga sayohat narxi 10-15 AQSh dollarini tashkil qiladi. Ushbu to'lov taksi haydovchisi tomonidan to'lashi kerak bo'lgan barcha to'lovlarni qoplaydi.
• Ichki terminalda taksilar. Ichki terminal avtoturargohda taksilar mavjud. Xalqaro terminal binosidan chiqqandan so'ng, o'ng tomonga burilib, taxminan 200 m piyoda yuring.

Aeroportdan shahar markaziga taksida hisoblangan yo'l yurish narxi taxminan 140 000 dongni tashkil etadi, shuningdek, 10 000 dongni to'laydi. Trafik engilroq bo'lganda (odatda soat 22: 00-06: 00 oralig'ida yoki yakshanba kuni tushdan keyin), shahar markaziga sayohat 15 daqiqani tashkil etadi. Odatda, taksilar bir soatgacha to'xtab turgan tirbandlikda yurishadi.

Ichki terminal

Ichki terminalda kompaniya qo'ng'iroq qildi Sasco Travel aeroportda taksi imtiyoziga ega va bino yonida yo'lovchilarni olib ketishga ruxsat berilgan yagona kompaniya. Ularning avtoulovlari bojxonadan chiqishda birinchi bo'lib ko'rasiz. Biroq, arzonroq raqib taksilarini odatda avtoturargohda 100 metr masofada topish mumkin. Ularda forma kiygan taksilar bor, ular sizning biznesingizni yaqinlashganda qo'lga kiritishga harakat qilishadi.

Taksi kompaniyalari

Agar siz ishonchli kompaniyadan foydalansangiz va hisoblagich ishlatilsa, taksi narxlari HCMC-da juda mos keladi. May Linx (yashil) va Vinasun (oq rang yashil va qizil harflar bilan) shahardagi eng katta parklarga ega va odatda halol va ishonchli, hisoblagichlar taksilar taxminan 5 metr harakatlangandan keyin avtomatik ravishda boshlanadi. Aeroportda May Linh taksichilari yashil galstukli yashil ko'ylaklar, Vinasun esa maroon galstukli to'q yashil ko'ylaklarni kiyishadi. Ushbu nazoratchilar siz uchun radio taksilaridan foydalanishlari mumkin.

• May Linx, ☏ 84 8 3838 3838. 
• Vinasun, ☏ 84 8 3827 2727. 

Yuqorida aytib o'tilgan obro'li kompaniyalarga o'xshash nomlari bo'lgan shubhali kompaniyalarning taksilaridan ehtiyot bo'ling. Ulardan ba'zilari Memen Linx yoki May Lin May Linh va Vina o'rnigauchrashdi, Vinason yoki Vinasum Vinasun o'rniga. Ma'lum qilinishicha, bunday kompaniyalar bexabar yo'lovchilarga g'azablantiradigan narxlarni, ba'zida tezroq ishlaydigan hisoblagichlardan foydalanish yoki yo'lovchilar qaramagan paytda narxlarni qo'lda oshirish orqali olishadi. Bunday kompaniyalardan taksi haydovchilari yo'lovchilarning narsalarini yukxonada olib ketayotgan holatlar ham bo'lgan.

Faqat yuqorida aytib o'tilgan ikkita kompaniyaga yopishib olishga harakat qiling, chunki yirtilib ketish xavfi boshqa kompaniyalarga qaraganda ancha yuqori.

Firibgarlardan qochish uchun boshqa maslahatlar

• Shubhali kompaniyalardan taksi kuponlarini sotib olishdan saqlaning. Haddan tashqari haq to'laydigan ba'zi taksi kompaniyalarida aeroportning terminal binolarida stendlar mavjud. Taksi kuponlarini faqat yuqorida aytib o'tilgan ikkita kompaniyadan sotib oling.
• Taksi taksilaridan qoching. Shaxsiy mehmonxonalarga bitta mashina uchun 4,400,000 dongdan forma kiygan va "belgilangan narx" markali laminatlangan "belgilangan narx" kartochkalarini kiygan taksilarga e'tibor bering. Ular narxni 2,600,000 dongga tushirishga tayyor bo'lishadi, ammo bu hali ham buzilib ketmoqda. Ularga e'tibor bermang va metrajli taksilarga yoki ishonchli taksi kompaniyalariga yopishib oling.
• Taksi haydovchilaridan mehmonxonalarni taklif qilishlarini so'ramang. Taksichilar mijozlarni ma'lum mehmonxonalarga olib borib, komissiya oladilar, shuning uchun aynan qaysi mehmonxonaga olib borishni xohlayotganingizni aniq biling. Ba'zi taksi haydovchilari mehmonxonalarda qolish uchun aldashganligi ma'lum bo'lib, ular mehmonxonalar shaharda sodir bo'lgan ba'zi bir katta voqealar sababli "bo'sh joy yo'qligi" so'ralganligi yoki "yaqinda yonib ketganligi" haqida xabar berishgan.

Avtomobillarni ijaraga olish va xususiy haydovchilarga xizmat ko'rsatish

Budget Car Rental ingliz tilida so'zlashadigan haydovchilar va yangi rusumdagi transport vositalarini taklif etadi. Shaharga sayohat uchun belgilangan narx 140 ming dong turadi.

Avtobusda

Agar Xoshimin shahriga avtobusga chiqsangiz, quyidagi avtovokzallardan biriga etib borasiz:

• 10.770924106.6988112 Cho Ben Thanh avtobus bekati (B Thn Thành Phạm Ngũ Lão). Ushbu stantsiya HCMC markazida, turar joy imkoniyatlari va sayyohlarning diqqatga sazovor joylariga yaqin masofada joylashgan. (yangilangan avgust 2017)
• 10.814837106.7108913 Mien Dong avtostantsiyasi (Bến xe Miền Đông). Shimol tomon yo'nalgan avtobuslar bu erdan etib kelishadi. Ben Thanh shahridan shahar markaziga borish uchun ushbu bekatdan №14 yoki # 45 shahar avtobuslarida (yoki Dinh Bo Linh ko'chasidan # 19 yoki # 93). (yangilangan avgust 2017)
• 10.741037106.618984 Mien Tay avtostantsiyasi (B Xn Xe Miền Tay). Ben Thandan shahar markaziga borish uchun # 2, # 10, # 39 yoki # 139 avtobuslarga o'ting. (yangilangan avgust 2017)
• 10.751265106.6511285 Cho‘lon avtovokzali (B xn xe Chợ Lớn). Ben Thandan shahar markaziga borish uchun №1 yoki # 150 avtobuslarda boring. (yangilangan avgust 2017)

Ushbu bekatlardan shahar atrofidagi jamoat avtobuslari sayohat uchun 6000-7000 dongga tushadi.

Ko'pchilik xususiy sayyohlik kompaniyalari avtobuslari De Tham shahrining g'arbiy qismida joylashgan Pham Ngu Laoga yo'lovchilarni tashlab, backpacker hududida turar joy variantlariga osonlikcha kirishni ta'minlang. Albatta, bu sizga kamida 40 kishining bir xil xonalarni xarid qilishini anglatadi, bu yaqin atrofdagi joylar paydo bo'lishi bilan qo'rqinchli bo'lishi mumkin. Sabr-toqat o'z hayotiga ega bo'lgan mayda xiyobonlarga chuqurroq kirib borganlarni mukofotlaydi.

Avtobusdan chiqayotganda taksichilar sizni "Qaerga borasiz?" Kabi savollar bilan o'rab olishadi. Siz shahardagi joylashuvingiz haqida bosh qotirishingiz mumkin, natijada ba'zi taksi haydovchilari bu imkoniyatdan foydalanishga harakat qilishadi. Ehtimol siz allaqachon Pham Ngu Laoda bo'lasiz va taksi haydovchisiga o'sha joyga borishni buyurganingizda, u yo'l haqini ko'tarish uchun bir necha blok atrofida zigzag qiladi.

Bir nechta kompaniyalar avtobusdan sayohat qilishni ta'minlaydi Pnompen, Kambodja, kishi boshiga taxminan 12 AQSh dollarini tashkil etadi. Vetnamga vizalarni chegarada olish mumkin emas, kelguningizcha viza oling (qarang "Engish"Quyida). Capital Tours kompaniyasi Pnompendagi Capital mehmon uyidan yo'lovchilarni chegara tomon olib boradigan mashhur avtobus yo'nalishini boshqaradi. Vizalarni rasmiylashtirgandan so'ng yo'lovchilar sheriklari bo'lgan Vetnam avtobusiga sayohat qilishni davom ettirishadi.

Poyezdda

Ga Sai GònSaygon poezd stantsiyasi shahar markazining shimoli-g'arbiy qismida joylashgan Cach Mang Thang Tamda (CMT8) joylashgan va asosiy mehmonxona tumanlaridan qisqa taksida yoki jamoat avtobusida yurishdir. Vokzaldagi chiptaxona ingliz tilini cheklangan darajada biladi. Pham Ngu Lao, Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1. 275C-da joylashgan rasmiy poezd kassasidan sotib olish tavsiya etiladi. Boshqa variantlar orasida sayohat agentliklari, shuningdek, Pham Ngu Lao.

Kundalik beshta jo'nab ketish bor Xanoy "Birlashish liniyasi" bo'ylab. Garchi poezdlarning bir nechtasi "ekspress" deb nomlangan bo'lsa-da, barcha sayohatlar taxminan 30 dan 35 soatgacha davom etadi. Eng tezyurar poyezd SE3 Xanoydan soat 23:00 da jo'nab ketishadi va ikki kundan keyin soat 05:00 da etib kelishadi. Biroq, SE5 15:45 da jo'nab, 04:40 da etib borish, xususiy kompaniya tomonidan boshqariladigan yuqori sifatli turistik vagonlarga ega Livitrans unga biriktirilgan. Chipta narxi standart vagonlar uchun 1 008,000-1,547,000 dongdan, turistik vagonlar uchun esa ikki baravarga teng.

Atrofga boring

Taksi va ijaraga olingan mashinada

Taksilar - bu sayohat qilishning eng qulay usuli va dunyodagi boshqa yirik shaharlarga nisbatan narxi juda oddiy. Narxlar vaqt o'tishi bilan yoqilg'ining narxiga qarab o'zgarib turadi. Bir kilometr uchun 15000-20000 dong atrofida to'lashni kuting. Taksilar son-sanoqsiz va odatda shahar markazining biron bir joyida ertalabdan boshlab soat 01:00 gacha bayroq qo'yish qiyin emas, ammo yomg'ir ostida yoki ish kuni shovqin paytida uni topish qiyin bo'lishi mumkin.

Taksi narxlari shahar hukumati tomonidan tartibga solinmagan, shuning uchun har bir kompaniya vaqti-vaqti bilan o'zgarib turadigan o'z tariflarini tuzadi. Siz tasodifiy taksini tanlay olmaysiz va standart tarifni kutishingiz mumkin; bu a ogohlantirish chet elliklarga ortiqcha haq to'lash uchun fursatchi haydovchilarning chekkasi bo'lgan bozor. Yaxshiyamki, bozor juda raqobatbardosh va taksilarning 80 foizini shu kabi stavkalari bo'lgan oqilona halol kompaniyalar boshqaradi. Ushbu kompaniyalar bozori 90% dan ortiq mahalliy hisoblanadi, shuning uchun ularning siyosati HCMC rezidentlarining ishonchini qozonish uchun ishlab chiqilgan. Umuman olganda, siz foydalanishingiz kerak bo'lgan yagona taksi kompaniyalari May Linx va Vinasun, yirtilib ketish xavfi boshqa kompaniyalarga qaraganda ancha yuqori.

Insofsiz taksi haydovchilari hisoblagichlarini ishga tushirmasdan haydashni boshlashlari mumkin, keyin yuqori narxni talab qilishlari yoki boshqa kabinetni yollashingiz qiyin bo'lgan joyda belgilangan narx bo'yicha muzokara olib borishlari mumkin. Shuning uchun taksichingiz hisoblagichdan foydalanishga rozi ekanligiga ishonch hosil qiling va uni kirmasdan oldin yoqing. Yuqorida aytib o'tganimizdek, May Linh va Vinasun kabi ba'zi taksi kompaniyalari taksilarida transport vositasi harakatlana boshlagandan so'ng avtomatik ravishda ishga tushadigan hisoblagichlarga ega. Shuningdek, ehtiyot bo'ling "sobit" hisoblagichlar.

Haydovchilar umuman biron bir xorijiy tilni bilishadi va ular bilan gaplashmaydilar, shuning uchun taksichini ko'rsatish uchun boradigan joyingizning nomi va manzilini, yaxshisi vetnam tilida yozsangiz; sizning mehmonxonangiz xodimlari yordam berishi mumkin. Telefoningizdagi xarita dasturida manzilni ko'rsatish ham yaxshi ishlaydi. Bu sizning mehmonxonangizning tashrif qog‘ozlaridan birini olib yurishda yordam beradi, shunda siz mehmonxonaga ortiqcha ovoragarchiliksiz qaytishingiz mumkin. Narxlarni to'lash uchun kichik o'zgarishlarni va eslatmalarni olib yuring, chunki haydovchilar tez-tez o'zgarib turishadi. Taksilar asosan Toyota Vios sedanlari (to'rtta yo'lovchiga qadar) va Toyota Innova mikroavtobuslari (oltita yo'lovchiga qadar), ular Vetnamda yig'ilgan va sotib olish arzon. Avtoulov modelidan qat'i nazar, tariflar deyarli har doim bir xil bo'ladi, garchi Innovadan kattaroq narsa odatda ko'proq xarajat talab qiladi. Ba'zi eski mashinalarda ishlaydigan konditsionerlar etishmasligi mumkin.

Imkoniyat berilganida taksi haydovchilari juda tez harakatlanishlari mumkin. Xoshimin shahri noyob harakatlanish tartibiga ega bo'lib, unda avtoulovlar va avtobuslar ikki tomonlama ko'chalarda markaziy bo'laklarda yoki chap tomonda bir tomonlama ko'chalarda harakatlanishadi, tashqi va o'ng chiziqlar esa mototsikl uchun ajratilgan. Hafta ichi shov-shuv paytida, avtomobil yo'llari ko'pincha zo'rg'a bloklar bo'ylab harakatlanadi, mototsikllar esa biroz tezroq. Taksi haydovchilari mototsikllar qatoriga kirib, boshqa avtomobillardan oldinroq sakrab o'tishga moyilligi bilan farq qiladi. Nazariy jihatdan, ular buning uchun jarimaga tortilishi mumkin. Shaharda tig'iz soatlarda tirbandlik shunchalik yomonlashdiki, siz 07: 00-08: 30 va 16: 30-18: 00 oralig'ida hech qayerga bormaslikni rejalashtirishni o'ylashingiz mumkin.

Taksilarni bron qilish dasturidan foydalanish ham ozgina qiyinchiliklarni keltirib chiqarishi va ortiqcha to'lovlardan qochishi mumkin. Hududiy operator Grab Taxi-da yuklab olish uchun bepul dastur mavjud.

Shahar tashqarisidagi sayohatlar uchun yoki kun davomida shaxsiy transport vositasiga ega bo'lish uchun kun davomida haydovchi bilan mashinani yollash yaxshi imkoniyatdir. May Linh va Vinasun kabi ko'plab taksi kompaniyalari ushbu xizmatlarni taklif qilishadi.

Qayiqda

Waterbus orqali

Saygon Waterbus xizmatini ishlaydi Saygon daryosi 1-tumandan shaharning shimolidagi Tu Duc tumaniga. U sayyohlarga qaraganda ko'proq mahalliy yo'lovchilarga yo'naltirilgan, ammo uning to'xtash joylaridan biri "Hotel Majestic" yaqinida joylashgan bo'lib, unga Opera uyi va boshqa shahar diqqatga sazovor joylaridan osongina kirish mumkin.

Tez qayiqda

Vung-Tauga gidrofoyl bilan borish, odatda Saygon daryosi bo'ylab dengizga qarab tezlashib borishi bilan savdo dengiz sohalarini ko'rish uchun yaxshi usuldir. Narxi kattalar uchun 200 000 dong, bolalar uchun 120 000 dong. Muddati: 80 min. Saygon shahridagi Bax Dang iskala-dan, 1-tuman, Majestic mehmonxonasidan unchalik uzoq emas (100 m). Cầu Dá Port, Ben Cau Da, Ha Long St, Vung Tauga etib keladi.

Ushbu yo'nalishda bir xil yo'l chiptasi narxi 10 AQSh dollar bo'lgan 3 yo'nalish (Petro Express, Greenlines, Vina Express) mavjud. Agar Vung Taoga tashrif buyurmoqchi bo'lsangiz, albatta Vetnam taqvimiga murojaat qiling. Dam olish kunlari chiptalar ko'pincha sotiladi.

Mototsiklda

Mototsiklli taksilar (xe um, so'zma-so'z quchoqlaydigan vosita) juda ko'p (har joyda "siz moto xohlaysizmi?" degan so'zlarni eshitishga odatlaning), arzon va umuman xavfsizdir. Endi barcha chavandozlar dubulg'a kiyishlari shart, bu qoida qat'iy bajariladi. Haydovchining sizga dubulg'a bilan ta'minlaganligiga ishonch hosil qiling. Agar u bo'lmasa, boshqasini toping, chunki siz jarimaga tortilgan siz bo'lasiz.

Yo'lga chiqishdan oldin narx haqida kelishib oling. Shahar atrofidagi qisqa atlamalar 20000 dongdan oshmasligi kerak, agar siz tumanlar oralig'ida borsangiz, bu ko'payadi va aeroportga qadar 70 000 dong atrofida. Haydovchilar odatda juda do'stona va iltimosiga ko'ra sekinroq yurishadi. Agar siz haqiqatan ham mototsiklni ushlab turishga qiynalayotgan bo'lsangiz, ular ayiqni quchoqlashlariga salbiy ta'sir ko'rsatmaydi. Ko'pgina moto haydovchilar, ayniqsa 1-tuman, ba'zi ingliz tilida gaplashadi va ko'pgina Vetnamliklar kabi sizga tabassum toshqini sifatida javob qaytarishadi va ehtimol siz ularni bilish uchun ozgina harakat qilsangiz, barcha diqqatga sazovor joylarni ko'rsatib berishadi.

Siz o'zingizning mototsiklingizni ijaraga olishingiz mumkin (Honda deb nomlangan, qaysi markaga ega bo'lmasin) ko'p joylarda, ayniqsa, 1-tumandagi orqa o'rindiqlari atrofida (Pham Ngu Lao). 110,000 dong sizga munosib 100-110cc velosipedni taqdim etishi kerak. Ikki asosiy toifadagi mototsikllarni ijaraga olish mumkin: skuterlar (avtomat uzatmalar qutisi); va to'rtta tezlikda harakatlanadigan mototsikllar, ularning tishli g'ildiraklarini chap oyog'ingiz bilan o'zgartirasiz. Hamma joyda tarqalgan Honda Super Cub - bu oddiy 4 bosqichli velosiped bo'lib, u yarim avtomat uzatmalar qutisiga ega, ya'ni debriyajsiz, shuning uchun boshqarish osonroq. Boshqa modellar to'liq qo'lda bo'lishi mumkin, shuning uchun siz chap qo'lingiz bilan debriyajni boshqarishingiz kerak. Bu juda katta mahorat talab qiladi va g'ildirakni tortib olish yoki dvigatelni to'xtatish juda oson. Agar siz bunday velosipedda qolsangiz, u holda yo'llarga chiqmasdan oldin muftani bo'shatish bilan mashq qiling. Ijaraga berish agentlari, agar ular mavjud bo'lsa, qo'lda ishlaydigan vitesga ega mototsiklda qanday yurishni bilmayman degan taxmin bilan chet elliklarni skuterlar tomon yo'naltirishadi. 175 santimetr va undan yuqori bo'lgan mototsikllar faqat Vetnam mototsikl klubi bilan aloqa o'rnatganingizda yurishlari mumkin.

Saygonda haydash tajribali haydovchilarga topshiriladi. Trafik juda zich va o'ziga xos ritm va mantiqqa ega. Ammo, agar siz sarguzashtni kutmoqchi bo'lsangiz, unda bir nechta narsani yodda tutganingiz ma'qul: cheklangan tajribaga ega haydovchilar avtomatik velosipedni ijaraga olish haqida o'ylashlari kerak (odatda biroz qimmatroq), chunki band bo'lgan chorrahada tashvishlanish uchun vaqt yo'q vitesni qanday o'zgartirish kerak. O'g'rilarga ehtiyot bo'ling: mototsiklingizni doimo ko'z o'ngingizda saqlang yoki xizmatkor bilan to'xtab turing. Ko'pgina restoranlarda sizning raqamli yorlig'ingizni chiqaradigan va mototsiklingizga g'amxo'rlik qiladigan qo'riqchilar / mashinalar xizmatchilari bor. Mustaqil avtoturargohlar shaharning yo'laklari, xiyobonlari va yerto'lalari atrofida tarqalgan. Qatorlab qo'yilgan mototsikllar qatorini yoki yozuvli yozuvlarni qidirib toping giu xe.

Agar siz yomg'ir paytida bu erda bo'lsangiz, boshlashdan oldin poncho yoki yomg'ir ko'ylagi sotib oling. Ular atigi 10 ming dongdan sotib olishlari mumkin. Saygondagi iyul-avgust kunlari soat 16: 00-20: 00 oralig'ida har kuni taxminan 1-2 soat davomida yomg'ir yog'adi. Biroq, tirbandlik to'xtamaydi, shunchaki xaotik bo'ladi. Agar siz ikkilanayotgan bo'lsangiz yoki ilgari bunday sharoitda haydamagan bo'lsangiz, mashinani qo'yish va kutish oqilona bo'lishi mumkin.

Qishloqda uzoq masofaga sayohat qilish siz boradigan marshrutga qarab ham jirkanch bo'lishi mumkin. Shaharlar orasidagi katta yo'llar katta bo'lishiga qaramay tor bo'lishga moyil bo'lib, turistik avtobuslarga to'la tezlikda, shiddatli yuk mashinalarini bosib o'tishlari va mototsikllar uchun chekka joy qoldirmasliklari mumkin.

To'xtatishni istagan ko'pgina joylarda avtoulov xizmatchilari bor, ular sizga raqamlangan yorliq chiqaradi va velosipedingizni kuzatib turadi. Ba'zan ushbu to'xtash joylari operatsiyalari siz tashrif buyurgan muassasa tomonidan nazorat qilinadi, ba'zan esa ular ko'plab odamlar boradigan joylarda tashkil etilgan bepul operatsiyalardir. Odatda qatorda velosipedlarni parklangan holda ko'rasiz. Sharoitga qarab siz velosipedni o'zingiz to'xtatib qo'yishingiz yoki shunchaki neytral holatga qo'yishingiz va xodimlarning joylashishiga imkon berishingiz mumkin. Kamdan kam hollarda, lekin siz kalitni saqlaysiz. Ba'zan restoran va kafelarda to'xtash joyi bepul ("giu xe mien phi" ni qidiring). Boshqa joylarda to'lovlar 2000 dan 5000 donggacha.

Shaharlarda yo'l harakati politsiyasi aniqlash uchun qiyin bo'lgan sabablarga ko'ra ko'plab mahalliy aholini tortib oladi, ammo odatiy donolik shuni anglatadiki, ular chet elliklarni til to'siqlari tufayli kamdan-kam bezovta qiladilar. Shunga qaramay, yo'l harakati qoidalariga rioya qilish tavsiya etiladi, ayniqsa siz xalqaro haydovchilik guvohnomasini olmagan bo'lsangiz. Xoshimin kabi shaharlarning bir nechta ko'chali yo'llari bor va bilmasdan ularga kirib borish juda oson, chunki sizni ogohlantiruvchi cheklangan belgilar mavjud. Agar siz qonunni buzsangiz, politsiya sizni tortib olib, jarimaga tortishi aniq. Shuningdek, ular velosipedingizni musodara qilish bilan tahdid qilishadi. Jarima uchun belgilangan narx kelishib olinadi va uzrli va do'stona munosabatda bo'lish sizni tezda yo'lingizga qaytarishi mumkin, cho'ntaklaringizda bir necha dollar kam. Ular sizni bezovta qilishi yoki bezovta qilishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas.

Siklo bo'yicha

HCMC orqali velosipedda sayohat qilish shaharni mahalliy aholi kabi ko'rish uchun ajoyib usuldir. Cyclos orqaga qarab uch g'ildirakli velosipedga o'xshaydi, yo'lovchilar oldinda o'tirar, haydovchi orqada o'tirar edi. Shaharning diqqatga sazovor joylari, tovushlari va hidlari hayajonning katta qismidir va ular eng yaxshi velosiped tempida tajribaga ega. Ogohlantirish so'zi: velosiped haydash paytida kameralar, hamyonlar va soatlardan ehtiyot bo'ling, chunki ularni mototsikl o'g'rilari osonlikcha o'g'irlashadi.

Ko'pgina sabablarga ko'ra, hukumatning gavjum shahar ko'chalarida velosiped harakatlarini cheklashni talab qilishi emas, transportning bu turi yo'q bo'lib ketmoqda. Ammo soatiga 50,000 dong atrofida (2019 yil yanvar) va bo'shashgan tezligini hisobga olgan holda, ular shaharga borish uchun yaxshi tanlovdir. Oldindan velosiped haydovchisi bilan qattiq savdolashganingizga ishonch hosil qiling. Ba'zi haydovchilar sayohat oxirida kelishilgan narxni o'zgartirishga harakat qilishlari ma'lum bo'lgan. Yana bir hiyla-nayrang - haydovchi komissiya oladigan joylarda taqiqsiz to'xtatish. Ushbu muammolarga duch kelmaslik uchun, jo'nab ketish vaqtida narx va manzil bo'yicha hamma aniq ekanligiga ishonch hosil qiling.

Avtobusda

• 10.767963106.68788947 Mahalliy avtobus terminali, Phm Ngũ Lao, 1-tuman. Mahalliy avtobuslar shu erdan qatnaydi. Yangilangan ekranda jadvallarning aniq ko'rsatkichi. Avtobusda yo'l haqini to'lang. Aeroportga 109-avtobus bu erdan jo'naydi. 

Yorqin yashil rangdagi jamoat avtobuslari shahar bo'ylab 150 ta yo'nalishda xizmat ko'rsatmoqda. Avtobus tizimining xaritalarini 1-tumandagi Ben Thanh bozorining qarshisidagi katta Ben Thanh avtovokzalida topishingiz mumkin. Kutish xonasiga o'rtadagi stolga boring. Avtobuslar arzon, xavfsiz va juda ko'p odam emas. Ko'pchilik zamonaviy va shinam, konditsioner, musiqa va hattoki televizor kabi qulayliklarga ega. Vetnam tilini bilmasangiz, to'g'ri chiziqni topish qiyin bo'lishi mumkin, ammo xaritalar va mehmonxonalar xodimlari yordamida siz xohlagan joyingizga osongina erishishingiz mumkin. Agar yo'lingizni topa olmasangiz, mahalliy aholidan yaxshi so'rang, ular qo'llaridan kelganicha yordam berishadi. Eng katta avtovokzallarda har bir to'xtash joyida avtobus yo'nalishlarini o'qishingiz mumkin (masalan, Cho'longa borishingiz kerak bo'lsa foydali).

Google Xaritalar yordamida avtobus yo'nalishini ham topish mumkin. Avtobus marshrutining raqami, uning chastotasi va boradigan vaqti bilan birga ko'rsatiladi.

Avtobuslar tezkor va tezkor. Ularning ko'pchiligida ikkita xodim ishlaydi: haydovchi va konduktor. Haydovchi yo'lovchilar bilan o'zaro aloqada bo'lganda avtobusni harakatga keltiradi. Agar siz telefoningizga kollektorga sayohatingizni ko'rsatsangiz, ular sizga to'g'ri yo'l haqini to'lashadi va tushish vaqti kelganida sizga bayroq qo'yishadi. Mahalliy aholi, avtobuslar taksidan ham tezroq, deb ishonishadi. Sababi, avtobuslar HKMK ko'chalarida norasmiy yo'l huquqiga ega; boshqa transport vositasi avtobus kelayotganini ko'rsa, u transport vositasi chiqib ketadi. Taksilar avtobuslar bilan to'qnashuvdan qaytishlari kerakligini bilishadi. Avtobuslar ham arzon, har bir yurish uchun 4000-8000 dong va ko'plab alternativalarga qaraganda xavfsizroq. Eng katta muammo shundaki, avtobusdan tushganingizda piyoda bo'lib qolasiz (pastga qarang).

Xoshimin shahridagi jamoat avtobusiga chiqish va chiqish paytida uning avtobus bekatida "to'xtab qolishini" kutmang. Bu ikki narsani anglatadi: birinchidan, to'xtash uchun tez-tez avtobusga bayroq qo'yish kerak; Buning uchun to'g'ri avtobus raqamini ko'ring va to'g'ri avtobus 20 metr masofada bo'lganida, xuddi taksiga o'tirgandek qo'lingiz bilan harakat qiling. Ikkinchidan, avtobuslar tez-tez to'xtab turish joylariga kelmaydilar, lekin yo'lovchilarni yo'lga qo'yib yuborish uchun sekinlashadilar; bu, ayniqsa, shahar markazidan uzoqlashganda to'g'ri keladi. Kirish yoki chiqishda keksa odamlar yoki avtobus bekatida katta guruh kutib turgan bo'lsa, avtobus to'liq to'xtab qolishi mumkin. Bundan tashqari, agar siz avtoulovning tig'iz vaqtida avtobusni ushlamoqchi bo'lsangiz, u har doim ham to'xtash joyi bo'lgan yo'lning chetiga bora olmasligi mumkin, shuning uchun yo'lovchilar yo'lning o'rtasiga qarab to'xtab qolishi mumkin.

The veb-sayt avtobus vakolatiga kiradi avtobus yo'nalishini qidiruvchi va real vaqtda ketish vaqtlari. Marshrutlar va jadvallar Google Xaritalar, shu jumladan ilovalarda ham mavjud.

Oyoqda

Yo'l harakati juda ko'p miqdordagi mototsikllardan iborat va Vetnam Jahon Savdo Tashkilotiga qo'shilganda import boji kamayganligi sababli, xususiy avtomobillar soni ko'paymoqda. Biroq, mototsiklni 150 santimetrdan ko'proq ko'rish juda kam uchraydi va transport kamdan-kam hollarda markaziy hududlarda soatiga 20-30 km dan oshmaydi.

HCMCda yo'lni kesib o'tish dahshatli va dahshatli bo'lishi mumkin. Agar shubhangiz bo'lsa, HCMC-ning "Turistik xavfsizlik" xodimlari (yashil formada) sizga quvonch bilan yordam berishadi. Ko'chib o'tishning tezkor usuli - bu ko'chadan o'tayotgan mahalliy odamning ko'rsatmasiga ergashish.

Yo'llarni kesib o'tishda ehtiyot bo'ling va asta va ishonchli yuring. Mototsikl chavandozlari juda yaxshi va shunchaki sizdan qochish uchun harakat qilishadi, shunchaki to'satdan tartibsiz harakatlar qilmang. Trafikdagi bo'shliqni yoki tikuvni qidirib toping va sekin, ammo barqaror harakatni boshlang. Agar sizga signal kelayotgan bo'lsa, mototsikl haydovchisi sizning shaxsiy makoningizga kirishi mumkin. Ehtiyot bo'ling va u o'tib ketguncha oyog'ingizni oldinga qo'yishni to'xtatishga tayyor bo'ling.

HCMC-da transport signallariga rioya qilish dahshatli. Haydovchilar "eng yaxshi fikr" dan foydalanishga moyil. Shuni esda tutingki, transport vositalari istalgan vaqtda (chiroqlardan qat'i nazar) har doim o'ngga burilishlari mumkin. Motorbikes often drive in the wrong direction to take a short cut, even against the traffic flow. Crossing roads therefore maybe a challenge for Westerners used to traffic laws and traffic lights.

The traffic police occupy themselves with random roadside checks and do not bother motorcyclists who are running red lights or driving on the pavements. Recently police have cracked down on pedestrians, and while this does not mean that they will hassle you it's possible you will be held responsible if you are involved in an accident.

Some motorcyclists will use the footpath to get ahead of the traffic, so don't assume that the footpath is a safe place to be. Keep an eye out for cycle traffic coming up from behind.

Metro orqali

A metro system is under construction. It had been scheduled to open in 2014, but has been plagued by massive delays, with the latest estimates putting the opening at the end of 2021 (as of Feb 2020).

Ethnic neighbourhoods

• Cholon - This is Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown. While many of the ethnic Chinese fled Vietnam for Western countries such as Australia and the United States as a result of persecution following the Fall of Saigon, a large number of them continue to reside in the district. Many signs of the Chinese heritage can still be found in the form of Chinese clan temples, as well as stalls selling Chinese food. Many people are also bilingual in Cantonese and Vietnamese.

Qil

• Dai Nam Tourist Park, Hiệp An Ward, Thủ Dầu Một city, Binh Duong (about 40 km from HCMC; catch Bus 616 from the Ben Thanh bus station and take it all the way to the end (90 minutes, 25,000 dong as of Dec 2015), or talk to a travel agent), ☏ 84 650 3 891 389, 84 650 3 845 878. This is one of the largest tourist attractions in Vietnam. It features the Dai Nam Van Hien Temple, an entertainment site, open range zoo, shopping areas, hotels, local and Western cuisine, and the largest man-made mountain range in Vietnam. Costing over 50 billion dong to build, this park is the beginning of mass tourism in Vietnam, although it is aimed at tourists and locals, and comes highly recommended. Transport options to the park are quite convoluted. As the park is new, online information is scarce. According to the locals, it is very much worth a visit, purely just to view the temple. Adult/child between 1 m and 1.4 m: zoo 80,000/50,000; amusement park 100,000/50,000 dong; waterpark 100,000/60,000 dong; all three 200,000/120,000 dong. (yangilangan Aprel 2017)

A sunset tour around Saigon involves exploring narrow jungle canals with a village made of bamboo and thatch, as well as visiting a floating temple. 
• Twenty-Three September Park (across from Ben Thanh Market and running the length of Phan Ngu Lao St). Running along Phan Ngu Lao St are a number of parks which fill up with locals before sunset, after work. They play a variety of games which you can participate in: badminton, kicking a shuttlecock and womens group aerobics to music are all very popular, and are great to watch. If you sit down by yourself in the open area near the Ben Thanh market a number of young university age locals will come and ask to practice English with you, this is a great way to spend an evening and the best way to meet intelligent interesting youth, they will question you either individually or in groups and share with you a lot about their country. Beware of those men who want to introduce you to their "sister" who's working as a nurse and wants to move to your country. They will try to make you come into their home so you can reassure their parents, but will actually gamble and cheat at cards with you and/or ask you for money after telling a sad and fake story about some dying relative. 

• Nguyen Hue Flower Street. Beautiful assortment of flowers during Tet (Lunar New Year) along the popular boulevard in District 1. Ozod. (yangilangan Fevral 2019)

Shows

Ho Chi Minh City is a good place to experience traditional Vietnamese performances in a tourist-friendly way. The Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre is a popular place for tourists to watch traditional Vietnamese puppetry. For those who prefer more modern interpretations of Vietnamese culture, Lune Production stages several shows in the magnificent colonial-era Saigon Opera House, the most famous of which is the aforementioned AO Show.

O'rganing

Sotib oling

Vietnamese arts and crafts, or mass-produced resin knock-offs thereof, are sold by dozens of shops around the central tourist district. The best, most expensive items can be mostly found on Dong Khoi or the immediate side streets. The goods tend to get progressively simpler and cheaper as you move west toward Ben Thanh Market (though the best wood-carving shop is a stall on the back side of Ben Thanh). A few shops have authentic woven silk textiles from Sapa and the north. Lacquered paintings, plates, bowls, etc., are quite striking and unique to Vietnam. Vietnamese propaganda posters can be very impressive and offer a taste of history. It is very useful to have local currency when buying. Banks and formal exchanges will provide you with a decent rate, especially when compared with agencies like Statravel on Vui Ban St which will offer much lower rates. Goldsmith shops will also change money at decent rates, though as always it is better to know the going rate than to trust to luck.

There are two good guide books for shoppers in Ho Chi Minh City: the Luxe City Guide va MySherpa Guide which also includes a map with shops cross-referenced.

Artworks

• Galerie Quynh, 65 De Tham St, District 1 (between Co Bac and Co Giang), ☏ 84 8 3836801. Tu-Sa 10:00-18:00. A serious contemporary art gallery in District 1. Unlike the galleries that focus on more decorative works, this gallery represents innovative local and international artists including Tiffany Chung, Do Hoang Tuong, Hoang Duong Cam and Sandrine Llouquet. 
• Gallery Deli, Dong Khoi (just down from Mac Thi Buoi). 
• Oil-Paintings, Bui Vien St (near the backpackers area in De Tham and Pham Ngu Lao). There are several shops along this street selling oil paintings. If you want a portrait of a Vietnamese painting or even have your own photograph oil-painted, shop around here. You can get a portrait within a day or two. 450,000-5,000,000 dong. 
• Phuong Mai Art Gallery, 129B Le Thanh Ton St, District 1 and 213C Dong Khoi St, ☏ 84 8 38 233 181. Har kuni 09: 00-21: 00. Vietnamese contemporary original art works including oil paintings, lacquer paintings, water colours and sculpture. (yangilangan Aprel 2017)

Book Street has a number of book shops, both run by individual vendors and some of Vietnam’s publishing houses. You can find books in both English and Vietnamese, as well as a few other languages. Prices vary from bargain used book racks to pricy illustrated volumes hot off the press. There are two cafes on the street that are a nice stop for coffee while exploring a newly-purchased book. The centre of the street often has art exhibits or special displays and there is a stage that is occasionally used to hold live talk shows and other events. (yangilangan Mar 2018)

Clothing

Vietnamese silk is excellent quality. Buying a suit can be fun and relatively cheap, but do your research first, and remember that you get what you pay for. Labour costs are not what make suits expensive. Tailors frequently use fabrics whose quality is exaggerated, for example the common claim of wool being "Italian/English Super 180". Cheap local suits don't compare to just having an US$80 H & M suit altered by a tailor. Any suit should contain 0% polyester. Any tailor should have multiple fittings, preferably three (with the third just being a check-up that probably won't require further alteration).

• BoSua Local Street Wear, 55B1 Vincom Tower, Dong Khoi St, District 1, ☏ 84 9 04142182. 09:00-22:00. 145,000 dong.

Electronics

Visiting the local electronics district on and around Huynh Thuc Khang is quite a sight, where anything and everything is repaired, and nothing wasted. It's about a 15-min ride on Bus 2 from District 1. Loudspeaker repairs and remakes, transformer and armature winding by hand. Think of any component and you may find it here, including 1968 helicopter parts. Some people bring older solid state and valve gear here to be repaired economically. Most electronics equipment in Vietnam originates here, so it's going to be a lot cheaper here than elsewhere.

While some of the country's cheapest electronics can be found here, most shops sell counterfeit items. Things such as dodgy iPods are easy to spot when compared to the genuine item, but things like camera batteries are more difficult to assess. If you are thinking about buying extra memory for your digital camera, e.g., most of the memory will be fake. These cards can be low quality and one has to ask if it is worth risking irreplaceable holiday snaps. Worse, knock-off batteries sold here have been known to explode. Nevertheless, if you know what you are doing, you can pick up some bargains.

• DVD buffs with no scruples should visit Ho Tung Mao.
• Kool Audiophiles, 16/1 Phan Ngu, F Dakao, District 1, ☏ 84 8 38201757. 09:00-20:00. Headphone and earphone shop selling genuine products. 

Bozorlar

• 10.77252106.698061 Ben Thanh Market (Chợ Bến Thành) (southwest end of Le Lai). Till 18:00. A den of thieves, but some great shopping. Ben Thanh is recognizable from its clock tower on the large roundabout. The largest old-style market in the central district, with several hundred small stalls stuffed with goods on almost impassably narrow aisles. Due to its popularity with tourists, the market is now divided between tourist goods (jeans, T-shirts, smaller souvenirs in abundance) and regular items (fruit and vegetables, rice, kitchen wares, flowers, meat, fast food and local-style pickled fruits). Most items are not price-marked, and vendors always quote a 50-100% higher price to tourists, so bargaining hard will save you money. The chief method of parting visitors from their money is ambiguity: for example, never making it quite clear how much you are being quoted or what the exact price is or what exchange rate is being used to calculate your change. Be ready for these ruses (often by a sweet, smiling young lady), or be prepared to part with more cash than you need to. At the north side (back) of Ben Thanh Market are some shops that are operated by Ben Thanh Group and they sell goods at fixed price and much cheaper than the stalls in the market. No bargaining needed. If the good selection of knock-offs here just won't do, there's plenty to be had in the surrounding side street shops or night market later. If retail warfare isn't your cup of tea, you could skip the touristy Ben Thanh altogether and go to Chợ Bình Tây. (yangilangan Mar 2018)
• Chợ Bình Tây (in Chinatown). The underrated twin of Ben Thanh, selling everything from spices, Chinese medicines, and silk to obscure varieties of fermented fish, dried seafood, and jerky. If you are searching for a variety of Vietnam silks and velvets, skip the tourist trap Ben Thanh Market and go to Bình Tây instead. Most of Chợ Bình Tây is wholesale goods. Much of Ben Thanh Market's goods are from here. 
• Night Market (Just outside of Ben Thanh Market). 18:00-late. Here you can enjoy many kinds of different foods and drink and do your shopping as well. But it is just a small street with traffic passing and pushy sellers, not the nicest place to hang around. (yangilangan Aprel 2017)
• 10.78139106.706762 Saigon Square (A stones throw from Ben Thanh Market). A good place for a visit. It is a twin of Ben Thanh but with air conditioning. Haggling your way through this place is the rule of thumb. Local middle-class Vietnamese shop here on the weekends too. Consider planning your shopping here during the day and go to Ben Thanh for the night market. The daytime Ben Thanh can be planned as a sightseeing trip instead of a shopping spree. 
• War Surplus Market, Yersin, District 1 (Intersection with Nguyen Cong Tru). Ba'zan American Market or "Cho Cu" or "Khu Dan Sinh". Hidden behind rows of hardware and electric supplies shops, just brace yourself and enter. Dense warrens of stalls include those selling old American military gear of indeterminate authenticity (e.g., "nice collection of so-called authentic GI's Zippo lighter from the war era"), cheap T-shirts and military paraphernalia: just don't hope to find a genuine US wartime Zippo, they're all fakes now. Despite the name, most stalls now specialise in various industrial-type products such as hand tools and personal safety equipment. 

Supermarketlar

• Co-op Mart Supermarkets (In District 1 can be found at the corner of Nam Ky Khoi Nghia and Nguyen Dinh Chieu, about 1 km from the centre or in Cong Quynh, walking distance from the end of backpacker street, Pham Ngu Lao.). 07:00-22:00. Co-op Mart can be found everywhere around HCMC. Prices are reasonably lower, though the selection leans more toward Vietnamese foods. 32 stores in Ho Chi Minh City. 
• Tax Department Store (On the corner of Le Loi and Nguyen Hue.). Now known as Saigon Square. Formerly the Russian Market, this is now a rather sterile department store of sorts filled with stalls selling touristy kitsch, although the selections get better as you ascend the levels. There's a good supermarket on level 2. If you are traveling here by taxi, the new name may be met by blank expressions from taxi drivers. The old name seems to work. 
• Giant Supermarket, 506 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Ward 4 District 3, ☏ 84 8-54121416. 09:00-21:00. Part of dairy farm Hong Kong which has supermarkets all over Asia. (yangilangan Fevral 2017)
• Big C Super Center, 138 a To Hien Thanh Cu Xa Bac Hai Phuong 15, ☏ 84-8-38632990. 07:30-22:30. (yangilangan Fevral 2017)

• Aeon Citymart, 96 Cao Thang Phuong 4 Quan 3. 05:30-22:00. It has 22 supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City. (yangilangan Fevral 2017)

Malls and department stores

Malls and department stores selling luxury brands can be found throughout central Ho Chi Minh City. And indeed you can find most of the same goods at other malls and department stores throughout the world. Even if you are not planning on buying luxury brand items, there is a reason every visitor should know the locations of some malls and department stores: their free and meticulously clean public restrooms. Also, if you are travelling just before or during Tet, some of these establishments put up decorational impressive displays.

• Saigon Center. A mall near Ben Thanh Market, just across the street from Saigon Square. Look for the Takashimaya sign. 
• Diamond Plaza. A department store behind Notre Dame Cathedral, across the street diagonally. 
• Vincom Center. The basement and bottom few floors of the Vincom Center house a mall. It is the tall building with two rectangular towers, a block south of the Post Office and Notre Dame Cathedral. 
• SC VivoCity. In District 7, a large shopping centre with a rooftop garden and a playground to keep children occupied. 

Yemoq

You're spoiled for choice in Saigon, which offers the country's largest variety of Vietnamese and international food. Bargains are getting harder to find, however, and restaurant prices have been rising at up to 30% per year due to a combination of higher food prices, rising wages, and soaring real estate costs. Land in the city centre now sells for around US$16,000/m², so even a modest-sized restaurant sits on real estate worth more than US$1 million. Authentic local food at bargain prices is one of the glories of Vietnam, but it's getting harder to find in Saigon as the city becomes ever more upscale and cosmopolitan.

The local food shows influences from French colonial times. Bakeries have fresh and excellent baguettes, which they will fill with cheese (typically of the "La Vache Qui Rit" or "Laughing Cow" brand), potted meat, ham, and onions, or any combination thereof, cheaply. Beef is used in various dishes - whether in any of the many variations of pho, or in a regional specialty such as "bun bo hue" or Hue beef soup. Be sure to try, aside from pho, dishes such as the above-mentioned Hue beef soup, or "banh xeo". Vietnamese savory crepes, consisting of a delicious filling of your choice (various options included bamboo shoots and enoki mushrooms, along with meat, prawns, or both) in a crispy outer crepe-like casing.

The Chinese community has also left their mark in Ho Chi Minh City, and the neighbourhood of Cholon continues to have a large number of ethnic Chinese residents, making it a natural place to go to for some Chinese food. That being said, Chinese food is fairly popular among many upper class Vietnamese, so there are also many upscale Chinese restaurants throughout the city.

Local food at bargain prices is very easy to find in Saigon. Banh mi thit (pork sandwiches) can cost as little as 10,000-15,000 dong. Com tam, a plate of rice with grilled pork (or with different meats) and a bit of vegetables for 18,000 dong.

Byudjet

Food stalls are scattered all over the city, but there's a fair collection in the Ben Thanh market (see Sotib oling). For local fast food, try the ubiquitous Pho 24 chain (though it can be more the twice the price of local fare).

The setback of eating street food or food prepared in holes-in-the-wall in any town or city in Vietnam is dodgy hygiene. Street hawkers are not only cooks but they are also cashiers. They touch money and often flip over the notes with their fingers moistened with their saliva. If a bun or baguette is dropped in the pavement, it is picked up to be mixed with the rest. A hawker may cough or sneeze and while preparing food, cover their mouth with their bare hands then resume what they were just doing. Food may have unwanted items such as hairs. Utensils may be washed from the same portable ice-cream container washing basin, without detergent. Debris on spoons are just wiped off from the water on that small dish. Drinking glasses may just be dunked two or three times and ready for the next user.

At holes-in-the-wall, if there is shortage of counter space, contained food is placed on the floor. Floors are mostly wet and muddy. Utensils are washed on the floor itself. Waiters tossed used chopsticks and other dishes like bowls and if they don't get in the tub, they fall to the floor to be picked up later. Vegetables and meat parts are also cut in the floor and if they fell off, they are picked up again. Big quantities of vegetables are placed in plastic buckets and cleaned in the toilet tap. The plastic buckets may have been used as bathing or toilet flushing pail. And when they are not used, they may be stacked together and stored in the toilet.

However, street food and holes-in-the-wall food are flavourful, fascinating, exotic, ingeniously contrived, and cheap with all the elements of the nutrition pyramid and all the flavours: sweet; sour; salty & hot are well represented. Despite the vastly lower prices, street food is often tastier and more flavourful than the same dishes when served in the posh hotels or tourist restaurants.

Ichish

Kofe

Vetnam qahvani eksport qilish bo'yicha dunyodagi Braziliyadan keyin ikkinchi o'rinda turadi va vetnamliklar orasida cà phê juda mashhur. Bu kofe sevuvchilar uchun jannatdir. Mahalliy uslub kuchli va yoqimli; eslash kerak bo'lgan asosiy so'zlar: sữa (shakarlangan quyultirilgan sut), đá (muz) va nóng (issiq, "nowm" deb talaffuz qilinadi). Cà phê đá kuchli, shirin muzli qahva; va cà phê sữa đá quyultirilgan sut bilan bir xil. Cà phê (sữa) nóng stolingiz ustiga yangi stakan ustiga qo'yilgan metall apparatda pishiriladi; tegib turadigan darajada soviganida uni ko'taring (va shu sababli ichimlik). Mahalliy uslubda kofe uchun narxlar 10 000 dan 20 000 donggacha.

Muz tozalangan suv bilan tayyorlanishi mumkin yoki bo'lmasligi mumkinligi sababli, ehtiyotkorlik bilan tashrif buyuruvchilar undan qochishlari kerak, ammo uzoq muddatli aholi doimo ishonchli kafe va restoranlarning muzini iste'mol qilishadi.

Espresso, kapuchino va amerika uslubidagi filtrli kofe hozirgi kunda sayyohlik tumanida ham keng tarqalgan bo'lib, odatda mahalliy uslub narxidan 2-8 baravar ko'pdir. Agar ular UHT sutidan quyultirilgan sutdan farqli o'laroq foydalansalar, siz yaxshiroq joylarni farqlay olasiz.

Quvurli musiqa yoqimli, kunduzi unchalik baland emas (kechasi balandroq bo'lsa ham), narxlari yaxshi. Old qismida ochiq teras, pastki qavatdagi air-con bo'limi va yuqori qavatda oqshom lounge-bar.

Spirtli ichimliklar

Saygonda ichish uchun mo'l-ko'l joylar mavjud, garchi ma'lum darajada vetnamliklar va chet elliklar turli joylarda turishadi. Bu asta-sekin o'zgarib bormoqda, chunki G'arbliklar Sharq yo'llarini yaxshi bilishadi (va aksincha). Jonli musiqa ijro etiladigan joylarda odatda qoplama olinmaydi, lekin ichimliklar narxi birmuncha ko'tariladi (odatda pivo, spirtli ichimliklar va kokteyllar uchun 55000-85000 dong.) Ko'p joylar yarim tunda yoki 01:00 atrofida yopiladi.

Kechqurun kechqurun klublar mavjud, ular deyarli faqat Vetnamlik yoshlarga xizmat ko'rsatishadi. Shaharning istalgan joyida 03: 00-04: 00 gacha ochiq turadigan Vetnamning shisha pivo joylarini topishingiz mumkin. Phu My Hungdagi bir nechta bar 02: 00-03: 00 gacha ishlaydi.

Biu Vienning deyarli yarmida, mahalliy aholi va sayohatchilar bilan juda band bo'lgan yulka barlarini sog'inmaslik kerak. Ular Saygon pivosining shishalarini 10 ming dongga sotishadi. Kichkina plastik stullarga o'tirib, samimiy muhitdan zavqlaning. Bular, ehtimol, ryukzak sifatida ichish uchun eng yaxshi joylardir, chunki ular juda arzon va nafaqat boshqa sayyohlar, balki odamlar bilan tanishish uchun ajoyib joylardir.

Xavfsiz bo'ling

In general, Ho Chi Minh City is a safe city, with violent crimes such as armed robbery being relatively rare. The most common crimes faced by tourists are pickpocketing and snatch theft from motorbikes.

Scam artists operate on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City. A person will strike up a friendly conversation claiming they've either seen you at the airport or some other tourist place where they work. Usually they'll be with other family members who will join the conversation very naturally and once they find out where you're from they'll mention that another family member is moving to a city in your country. You will be invited over for food at their house to help console a worried grandmother or to give advise to their family member. Once you arrive at the house however the family member is not there, or the grandmother has suddenly fallen ill and had to go to the hospital. You'll be presented with various business opportunities, legal or not, or asked for financial support for the suddenly sick grandmother.

Hotel scams are very common, even in the mid-range price level US$20-70. The hotel will remind you that you should place your valuables in the room safe or the hotel safe. Lock up everything that is more or less valuable.

Don't hold up expensive things near the street or leave them out on the table while you're having a meal, especially in District 1, especially around the backpacker area. Petty theft is a big problem, and a lot of times it's done by people on motorbikes. It's easy to prevent by not giving thieves the opportunity.

Don't buy SIM card before the immigration at the airport, they will charge you US$10 for a SIM card. After immigration and baggage area, you can find sim card booth. They sell SIM card for $6 only.Don't buy coconut more than ~USD2, real-price is ~USD0.5. If you are forced, call police: ☏ 84 8 3829 7643, 84 8 38299835. A favorite trick is for the vendors to strike up a conversation with you, let you hold the carrying-stick, take a picture, and while you're distracted open a coconut for you that you really didn't ask for.

Also, the prostitutes on Bui Vien and Ton That Tung will try to rob you. Usually, they'll approach men acting like they're up to normal prostitute business, but they are to pickpocket.

Ulanmoq

The telephone code of Ho Chi Minh City is 028. Many (but not all) land line phone numbers in Vietnam have the prefix 3.

Free Wi-Fi access is provided at nearly all hotels, guesthouses, restaurants and cafés. You can find open access points that don't require a password throughout the area around Pham Ngu Lao/Vu Bien and Ben Thanh Market.

It is also possible to buy a SIM card with unlimited internet access for a month directly at the airport for about 300,000 dong. If you can wait until you reach the city, shops with a turquoise Viettel sign will sell you a SIM-Card (Nano-SIM available) for anywhere upwards of 50,000 dong. That includes a sufficient amount of free calling, SMS and 2GB of data for one month.

Medical services

Public hospitals are generally poorly equipped and overcrowded, and staff tend to speak little to no English. As such, foreigners are highly advised to rely on private hospitals instead. The French-run FV Hospital is Vietnam's best-regarded private hospital with treatment standards that are on par with the West, and also staffed by doctors and nurses who are able to speak French and English. Another expatriate-oriented private hospital with international accreditation and English-speaking staff is Phòng khám đa khoa Hồng Phúc ,

Immigration office

• Immigration Department, 161 Nguyen Du, District 1 (~ 15-20 min walk from Reunification Palace, ~10 min from Ben Thanh Market following Le Lai St), ☏ 84 8 299398. To get a visa or modify one, you may be able to get it done, or may have to ask a travel agent. Typical cost for a visa extension of one month is USD10, 5 working days delay (they keep the passport). You need to fill form N14/M with your details and the one of your sponsor, either a hotel or private house and get a stamp from the police station corresponding to its location. This point could be tricky as it implies that you have register at the police station before. If not, expect extra delay (5 or more days, for example) or cost. Quick processing (2 days) is possible, but you need to justify it. Going through travel agents costs about USD30, but they manage the police stamp whatever your situation is (extra fee of USD20 for quick processing). Other prices: single entry visa USD25, multiple-entry USD50-100, change single-entry visa to multiple-entry for 6 months USD25-75, modification/extension of visa USD10. This office will tell you that you must use an agent if you wish to extend a tourist visa. 

Police stations

If you need to lodge a complaint, for example, about a stolen object, go to a police station. For a stolen item, you need to report to a station near the theft. It can be tricky as small stations will probably not have an officer with very good English language skills. If possible, go with a Vietnamese speaker.

Keyingisi

When going to the airport, specify clearly which terminal you want to go to. International flights leave from the newer international terminal (go straight). Domestic flights (to Da Nang, Hanoi, Nha Trang, and so on) are from the domestic terminal (turn left). If you get dropped off at the wrong terminal, you'll have to dash to the correct terminal orqali a pedestrian walkway link 600 m away. This is not recommended, especially if you're already late for boarding.

When entering the airport, taxi drivers will add an airport entry fee of 5,000 dong to your total metered fare. This is not to be confused with the airport departure tax, which should have been included in the price of your airline ticket.

If you're booking a bus around the Pham Ngu Lao area, you probably want to consider buying the tickets right at the bus company instead of one of the booking agencies. The FUTA bus line has an office at the corner Pham Ngu Lao / De Tham (orange-green building) and you get the tickets for around two-thirds the price compared to booking in an agency.

Avoid booking trips through your hotel as you'll pay a significant surcharge to join the same trips which can be booked at the plethora of travel agents throughout the city.
