Moreover, there is one building reproducing the “tiger case” in which the South Vietnamese government kept political prisoners.

Leaving the museum, we will visit Thien Hau, Taoist Temple, which is a Chinese style temple located in the Chinatown of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. This magnificent temple is called "Chua Ba Thien Hau" in Vietnamese, which is determined to Thien Hau, the Goddess of the Sea who protects the sailors. She is said to stand on a mat and fly to everywhere on the oceans to save fisherman and sailors. If you visit temple on Lunar New Year, you’ll be able to witness traditional performances such as lion dance and dragon dance.

The final destination is China Town, which is “Cho Lon" in Vietnamese. This market was built in the late 18th century and has become a bustling section of Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City with many restaurants, temples, exotic stores, and markets. The central market in China Town is Binh Tay market which is suitable for wholesale trades.
