Sit quietly in the sculpted grounds of Phung Son Tu Pagoda. The dust and high-rises fade away as you watch the day wind down on the outskirts of Cholon.

Walk to Ben Thanh Market for a quick bite. The clock tower marks the spot, and the stalls are still open for your pre-sunset snack.

Head to Twenty-Three September Park to catch the last light. The sky turns gold over Phan Ngu Lao St, and the local games begin as the sun hits the horizon.

Dine at Nhà Hàng Chay Ngọc Thọ. The vegetarian and meat options are satisfying, and the staff is friendly after a long day.

End the night at Go2 Bar. The neon lights are impossible to miss, and the large patio is perfect for cooling down.
