Day 11: Explore Hoi An

n the 11th day, you can discover My Son Sanctuary in Hoi An, which is well known as a collection of Champa ruins. It used to be a political center and royal burial ground with a complex of structures devoted to Hindu gods, built by the Champa Kingdom. Similar to other historic sites, My Son Sanctuary was destroyed by wars and then renovated by the French in 1898.

What makes My Son attractive to tourists is its architecture. The first Hindu temple was made of wood and then rebuilt with red bricks and sandstone. The most important constructions here are the monuments. All the temples were inspired by the conception of Mount Meru, the home of Hindu gods at the center of the universe. Visiting My Son Sanctuary, you will be able to see insight into Cham's religious and political thought through the technological sophistication of engineering skills. Also, it will remind you of the great Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Another option is Cam Thanh Village which is located about 5km from Hoi An Old Town. This village is famous for its water coconut forest and the craft of making coconut paintings. Also, Cam Thanh is a peaceful village that provides seafood products to the region. Visiting the village, tourists will easily join the farmers in preparing and fertilizing the land, and get to know the village's traditions and daily life.

One of the most exciting activities that you can do is to learn some fishing techniques and how to paddle the bamboo basket boats. In addition to that, you can explore the water coconut forest and get some coconut fruit. Also, there are many restaurants here that offer cooking classes, so you can have more fun trying delicious food after cooking. Finish day 11, you should get back to the hotel and get ready for another flight the next day.

Day 12: Hoi An - Danang - Flight to Ho Chi Minh City

As there is no airport in Hoi An, you need to transfer to Da Nang to take a flight to Ho Chi Minh City. We suggest that you take a morning flight, check in at the hotel after landing, and then enjoy the attractions and sightseeing in Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon. Additionally, there are some popular traditional performances that you might be interested in, such as the A O Show. Otherwise, you can just rest in the hotel and have a good sleep to be ready for the exciting trip the next day.

Day 13: Discover Mekong Delta

Ho Chi Minh City is so close to the Mekong Delta which is famous for the region’s diversity. There are many towns in the delta with facilities for tourists, but most travelers choose to visit Can Tho as it is the delta’s biggest settlement. You need to get up early in the morning to take an early bus to Can Tho. The best way to explore this area is to take a boat ride in the river and see the daily activities of the locals.

Can Tho also have the most famous floating market in Southern Vietnam which is Cai Rang market? The market is 6 km from Can Tho city.  Once you get here, you’ll see the extremely crowded trading atmosphere of the Cai Rang floating market. As the market is one of the main trading centers in the Mekong Delta, this is where you can find a wide range of products catering to the local daily lives. The prices of products are reasonable as it is a wholesale market. You can easily buy fresh fruits harvested from nearby farms and other processed specialties at cheap prices.
The travel time from Can Tho to Ho Chi Minh City is about 4 hours by bus. So you need to make sure that you can catch the last bus back to Ho Chi Minh in time.

Day 14: Explore Ho Chi Minh City

Many Ho Chi Minh City attractions have French colonial architecture, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral. This is a mini version of the Notre Dame de Paris-a cathedral church in Paris and is located in a quiet corner of this bustling city. Visiting the Cathedral, you can see a Virgin Mary statue standing in front. Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral is not only a tourist attraction but also serves as a religious institution for the local people. Be aware that when you visit here, dress appropriately and try not to disturb the worshippers.

Right next to the Notre Dame Cathedral is the Reunification Palace which was the base of Ngo Dinh Diem-the first President of the Republic of Vietnam. This Palace has five levels. The basement has a war room that has original maps on the walls, tunnels, and a telecommunications center where the equipment is still on display today along with the war propaganda materials. Also, there's a card-playing room on the third floor and a casino on the fourth floor. Especially, the rooftop was designed to be a heliport.
In the evening, you can experience the exciting nightlife in Ho Chi Minh City. There are two famous walking streets (Nguyen Hue and Bui Vien) with many bars and pubs which have attracted many travelers as well as locals. Don’t forget to enjoy street food while you are here too.
