Top places to visit this Christmas in HCMC

Christmas is coming! Another wonderful season of joy and happiness … and a lot of wonderful places to visit too! Allow us to guide you. Here are the top 5 places to visit in HCMC this holiday season.

1. Shopping centers
HCMC has a lot of shopping centers which usually transforms into a giant Christmas treat because of the various Christmas décor. This year, Crescent Mall’s display with a theme Merry Dazzling Christmas, has impressed me most. You have to see the biggest and the most majestic reindeer ever. A perfect photo location for those selfies and family portraits. This is a must see.

2. Crescent Lake & Star Bridge
Two of the not-to-be-missed places this holiday season. A show of lights which appears like stars from the heavens. The area is airy and fresh and is ideal for late night walks. See for yourself.

3. Nguyen Hue walking street
A famous destination in HCMC for both the local and tourists. This year Nguyen Hue street is expected to amaze everyone yet again with interesting decoration and activities. Definitely one of the top places for you to check out this Christmas.

4. China town in district 5
If you’re planning to decorate your house for Christmas, then this place is a must! China Town is located in District 5. You should specially go to Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street where you can find almost anything you want - from the most sparkling Christmas ornaments to the strangest. Let your creative thoughts flow free.

5. Christian town in district 8
A joyous Christmas spirit is the overall feeling when you visit Christian Town. Because this season is very special for Christians, people devote time and effort to create the most meticulous & magnificent Christmas decorations to commemorate the occasion.
