This five-hour guided tour threads you from the organized bustle of central Ho Chi Minh City into Chợ Lớn’s dense lanes, past the incense coils of Thien Hau Temple, and down to the broad sweep of Bach Dang Pier where the river dares you to slow down and watch cargo and commuter boats shift like living things.
