Excursion Saigon waking up (early morning tour) tour at Ho Chi Minh

Rise early to enjoy an invigorating morning in Ho Chi Minh City and experience the local highlights that few travelers have the chance to enjoy. Get an early start with a 6:30 am Tai Chi session at one of the oldest parks in Ho Chi Minh City amidst the beautiful sunrise views, and experience a morning in the way locals do. In the actively used park you can do some "people watching," observing locals doing different styles of Tai Chi as well as traditional foot badminton, or perhaps be lucky enough to see a master teach his student an ancient form of martial arts.

At the edge of the park is Bird Café, a well-known outdoor coffee shop where locals congregate to show off their prized birds that serenade the waking morning. Relax and enjoy the bird song with a glass of the famed Vietnamese coffee.

After coffee, jump on a cyclo (bicycle taxi) to arrive at a vibrant local market. Stroll the market, watch the locals shop for not just groceries but also delicacies and other exotic items; it's a feast for the senses to close out your beautiful Ho Chi Min morning.
