Where a car takes you from Ho Chi Minh City
These are the day trips from Ho Chi Minh City on our own pages where a car earns its keep. Trains reach some of them; a car reaches all of them, on your own clock.
- Mekong Delta (My Tho and Ben Tre) The nearest slice of the Mekong Delta, My Tho and Ben Tre pair boat trips through the coconut canals with orchard lunches and coconut-candy villages
- Cu Chi Tunnels The Cu Chi Tunnels northwest of the city pair the war-history site with a taste of the tunnel diet: steamed cassava dipped in peanut-sesame salt
- Vung Tau The coastal town of Vung Tau is the classic Saigon seaside escape, a beach day built around cheap fresh seafood and the town's own banh khot
- Can Gio Can Gio is the city's coastal mangrove district, a day trip built around the Hang Duong seafood market where you pick live crab, prawns and clams
- Tay Ninh (Cao Dai) Tay Ninh pairs the psychedelic Cao Dai Great Temple with a strong vegetarian food culture, from com chay at the holy see to the province's own goi cuo
- Buu Long and Bien Hoa Just east of the city, Bien Hoa and the Buu Long lake area make an easy green escape, with lakeside restaurants serving Dong Nai river fish, grilled
