Ho Chi Minh City Chinatown Cho Lon Scooter Tour - Binh Tay Market & Secret Bunker

Ride a scooter with a local driver
through Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown

This 4-hour tour takes you through Cho Lon, the historic Chinatown of Ho Chi Minh City, on a scooter with an English-speaking guide. An experienced local driver does the riding while you sit on the back, passing temples, markets, churches and alleys in Districts 5, 11 and 3.

Along the way, your guide shares stories about local beliefs, daily life, historical events and fun cultural facts, so you can see through local eyes how Chinatown has shaped Saigon over the centuries.

Discover Chinese heritage at Ong Bon Pagoda

Ong Bon Pagoda is one of Chinatown's most important temples, dedicated to Ong Bon, the protector deity of the Chinese community. See the traditional furnace where locals burn paper money as offerings for wealth and good fortune in the coming year.

Wander through three Cho Lon markets

Phung Hung Market sells wholesale produce in the morning and turns into a street food hub in the afternoon. Here you taste a local Chinatown specialty with authentic Chinese-Vietnamese flavors.

Dong Khanh Market is one of Saigon's oldest fabric markets, where colorful textiles and traditional tailoring culture still thrive. At Binh Tay Market, the symbol of Cho Lon, you see the busy wholesale trade that still drives the area.

Hear Saigon's history at Cha Tam Church
and a secret bunker

The 19th-century Cha Tam Church, known for its mint-green interior, is also where President Ngo Dinh Diem was arrested.

The tour ends at a hidden underground bunker once used to store weapons during the Vietnam War. Relax with a coffee while hearing stories of resistance and survival.
