It wasn\u2019t what we expected of Vietnam at all, and were pleasantly surprised by its history, food, and people. What we didn\u2019t know, and was about to find out, was that Vietnam\u2019s best kept secret, was their beaches. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vietjetair.com\/Sites\/Web\/en-US\/Home\">VietJet Air<\/a> once again invited us to find out for ourselves why Vietnam is the upcoming getaway destination for Singaporeans.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve put together a 4D3N itinerary for a weekend of night markets, beaches, and glorious seafood for you. Run away with your partner for a while in the midst of wedding planning, or grab the girls for a long weekend getaway. <\/p><h3>Day 1: Walking around Ho Chi Minh City District 1<\/h3><p>We left Singapore on an afternoon VietJet Air flight and arrived about two hours later. On our last trip, we kept driving past the legendary Rex Hotel and my curiosity about the famous hotel has been satisfied on this trip! With no time to spare, we headed for the streets as soon as we checked into the hotel, which is only 20 minutes away from the airport.<\/p><p>If you haven\u2019t been to Ho Chi Minh City, you can check out the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basillica of Saigon and its famous red fa\u00e7ade. Officially known as the Cathedral Basillica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, the cathedral was built between 1863 and 1880 by the French, and has two distinctive bell towers. In 1959, a granite statue of Our Lady of Peace was installed at the flower garden in front of the cathedral. On a good day, you\u2019ll see many couples having their wedding photos taken here.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06199.jpg\" alt=\"Notre-Dame Cathedral\" \/><i class=\"special\">Our Lady of Peace Statue in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral<\/i><p>Right next to the cathedral is the Saigon General Post Office, which bustles with activity. Its architecture is a delightful blend of Gothic and Renaissance influences, and is one of the oldest buildings in the city, with its ornate furnishings, tiled floor and high ceiling, which somewhat resembles a old European train station. The post office also has two mini souvenir lanes on each side of the building.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06207.jpg\" alt=\"Saigon Central Post Office \" \/><i class=\"special\">Portrait of Ho Chi Minh inside the Saigon Central Post Office<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06204.jpg\" alt=\"Saigon Central Post Office\" \/><i class=\"special\">Souvenir Shops inside the Post Office<\/i><p>Get to the Ben Thanh Market around late afternoon, armed with a shopping list. The usual items to purchase are coffee beans and powder, lotus seeds, souvenirs and lacquer ware. The market is huge and a little difficult to navigate \u2013 it is easy to get lost in the lanes flanked by stores that look similar. But it is within the inner lanes that you can get the best deals. The vendors will always offer their products for tasting and feel free to shop around for the best rates before you settle on the store you want to purchase from.<\/p> <p>If you hang around long enough in the market\u2014and believe me, you will if you are very focused on shopping\u2014you might be in time to see the night market coming to live.  In the evening, the food stalls surrounding the market open out into the streets, serving street food like pho, seafood, pancakes and desserts. Locals hang out there after work, much like our hawker centres.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06215.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Thanh Market\" \/><i class=\"special\">The main street inside Ben Thanh Market<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06218.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Thanh Market\" \/><i class=\"special\">One of the stalls selling coffee beans<\/i><p>Head back to the Rex Hotel and go up to the rooftop bar for a drink, some music, and a view of the avenue below. Built in 1927, the building, at different points in its history, housed an auto dealership, three cinemas, a dance hall, and a library. The hotel was the site of the American military command\u2019s daily conference during the Vietnam War, and the rooftop bar was the favourite hangout for military officials and war correspondence. Even though the bar is only on the fifth storey, you get the perfect view of the Saigon Opera House and People\u2019s Committee Hall.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06254-1.jpg\" alt=\"4D3N Itinerary for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">View of the People&#8217;s Committee Hall from the rooftop bar at Rex Hotel<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06186.jpg\" alt=\"Rex Hotel \" \/><i class=\"special\">The classic interior inside the Rex Hotel room<\/i><h3>Day 2: Acquaint yourself with Phu Quoc Island<\/h3><p>After an early breakfast at Rex Hotel, we jetted off on another VietJet Air flight to the island of Phu Quoc, about an hour away.<\/p><p>Phu Quoc is still a relatively unknown destination in Vietnam. The airport on the island only opened recently in December 2012, but the number of visitors to the island are climbing steadily. Blessed with a huge virgin forest, white sandy beaches and coral gardens for snorkeling, it isn\u2019t difficult to see why locals and tourists alike are flocking there quickly \u2013 to get to experience the nature before it becomes too commercialised. The Vietnamese government has big plans to develop the island into an eco-tourism destination by 2020.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/vietnam-map.jpg\" alt=\"Phu Quoc location\" \/><i class=\"special\">Phu Quoc Island is where the red drop pin is<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06268.jpg\" alt=\"Novotel Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">View from the lobby at Novotel Phu Quoc Resort<\/i><p>Check into the newly-built Novotel Phu Quoc Resort, and head to Ham Ninh Fishing Village, located on the east coast of the island, for lunch. <\/p><p>In the past, Ham Ninh village was where fishermen went to seek shelter during a storm. Soon a community was established there. The locals lived in thatched huts and made a living by fishing and diving for pearls. While the Ham Ninh of today is slowly developing to adapt to the arrival of tourists, the main economy here still relies on fishing. The sea at Ham Ninh is quite shallow and contains the largest concentration of seaweed beds on Phu Quoc.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06322.jpg\" alt=\"Ham Ninh village\" \/><i class=\"special\">The long pier at Ham Ninh Village<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06318.jpg\" alt=\"Ham Ninh Village\" \/><i class=\"special\">View from inside a seafood restaurant at Ham Ninh<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06333.jpg\" alt=\"Ham Ninh village\" \/><i class=\"special\">A table full of salads, seafood, meat, and Phu Quoc pepper<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06332.jpg\" alt=\"Ham Ninh village\" \/><i class=\"special\">Some dishes were served piping hot<\/i><p>Crab is a specialty in Ham ninh village and you can see it being served at restaurants and street stalls near the pier, usually steamed and served with a dipping sauce. The other specialty is Sea Cucumber Soup.<\/p><p>After lunch, head back to the hotel for a day of relaxation. The Novotel Phu Quoc Resort is set on one of the islands most well-known beaches, Truong Beach, famous for its gorgeous sunsets. The beach stretches unobstructed for 20 km along the west of the island all the way down south. That\u2019s why Truong Beach is also fondly called the Long Beach.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aIMG_6765.jpg\" alt=\"Truong Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">The stretch of Truong Beach right in front of Novotel Phu Quoc Resort<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06403.jpg\" alt=\"Novotel Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">Infinity Pool at the front of the hotel<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06415.jpg\" alt=\"Novotel Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">Another pool facing the beach<\/i><p>Or you could go for a swim in both the pools in the hotel. There\u2019s the infinity pool near the main building and a pool nearer the back with a bar. Never one to miss a trip to the spa, I booked myself a two-hour massage session to bliss out until right before sunset. <\/p><p>Dinner was at the Seafood Restaurant at the hotel. The restaurant\u2019s interior was intimately designed for an excellent indoor dining experience. You could also choose to sit outdoors if the weather is good. We ordered from the international menu, which has sushi, sashimi salads, grilled squid, and other Vietnamese cuisine, so you will really be spoiled for choice in terms of food. Perfect way to end a perfect day.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06383.jpg\" alt=\"4D3N Itinerary for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">Beautifully plated sushi<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06385.jpg\" alt=\"4D3N Itinerary for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">Seafood noodles<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06387.jpg\" alt=\"4D3N Itinerary for Ho Chi Minh City and Phu Quoc\" \/><i class=\"special\">Seafood pancake<\/i><h3>Day 3: Exploring the island<\/h3><p>The next morning, we had a buffet breakfast at the hotel before heading out to explore more of the island.<\/p><p>There are actually many activities on the island. If you\u2019re the adventurous type,  Phu Quoc has many red dirt roads for motor bike riding, so that\u2019s a good excuse to rent those bikes on the island if you have a license. We heard that the best off-the-beaten-tracks are found in the north of the island, around Dai Beach and Thom Beach. Or you can go fishing! Hire a willing fisherman and his boat and head towards An Thoi village, Duong Dong, Cua Can, because these places are where the fishermen hang out before they leave for the fishing.<\/p><p>There are also many dive shops on the island offering a wide range of services and equipment. The most famous dive sites are the An Thoi Archipelago collection of 15 islands where you may spot a dugong and Turtle Island for interesting coral formations. Great spots for snorkeling and scuba diving.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06377.jpg\" alt=\"Phu Quoc Pepper\" \/><i class=\"special\">The Phu Quoc pepper with salt and lime juice is served at every meal and goes with everything!<\/i><p>If you\u2019re a foodie, there are some factories and farms that are uniquely Phu Quoc you can visit, such as fish sauce distilleries and pepper farms. Phu Quoc is famous for its production of very high quality fish sauce that is exported worldwide. Unfortunately, fish sauce is not allowed on the planes because of the risk of breakage. The pungent aroma of the famed fish sauce is difficult to remove so airlines have banned them from being checked in. So enjoy them on the island while you can. Phu Quoc also produces very good quality black peppercorns. You\u2019ll find many pepper plantations around the island, and some of them even have organised tours.<\/p><p>We headed for the very isolated Sao Beach, on the southeastern side of the island. It\u2019s tricky to get to on your own, so hire a taxi should you want to head there. If you\u2019re looking for a beach with white powdery sand, clear calm waters, a smattering of palm trees, and quaint cocktail bars, it\u2019s definitely making a trip here. The picturesque beach is popular with locals, water sports lovers, and families because of the shallow waters.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06455.jpg\" alt=\"Sao Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">Water sports and tour boats on Sao Beach<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06458.jpg\" alt=\"Sao Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">You can find more secluded spots to the left and right of the beach<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06460.jpg\" alt=\"Sao Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">The water is shallow enough for you to wade far out into the sea and even sit down on the sand bed<\/i><p>Upon reaching the \u201cmain entrance\u201d of the beach, you\u2019ll be surrounded by restaurants and water sports vendors. However, turn left and keep walking until the noise fades away and feel the sand under your feet getting cleaner and softer. The sand leading into the sea slopes gently, so you can actually wade pretty far out into the water. <\/p><p>Spend a few hours at the beach and have dinner at one of the seafood restaurants before you leave. Again, you can look forward to fresh crabs, the daily catch of fish and squid, and very refreshing coconut juice. There are facilities on the beach for you to wash up; if you\u2019ve rented a day bed from any of the bars along the beach, you can also have access to their shower rooms.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06474.jpg\" alt=\"Sao Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">Fresh steamed crabs<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06466.jpg\" alt=\"Sao Beach\" \/><i class=\"special\">Coconuts at the beach bar<\/i><p>The best form of after-dinner exercise is, of course, night market shopping. The Dinh Cau Night Market is actually a 500m long street with about 50 stalls selling food, drinks, souvenirs, and snacks. The market opens at 5 pm, which is when Vo Thi Sau street closes off traffic and turns into a pedestrian-only shopping street.<\/p><p>At the main gate to the market, you will see the seafood stalls on both sides of the street, while the souvenir stalls are towards the end of the street. Since it\u2019s a relatively short street, I recommend that you walk the entire stretch of stalls before deciding to buy or eat anything. Like any night market all over Asia, you\u2019ll see many stalls selling similar items at varying prices. Some vendors are friendly, some aren\u2019t. <\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06527.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau market\" \/><i class=\"special\">The main entrance to Dinh Cau Night Market<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06521.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau Market\" \/><i class=\"special\">There are many tables outside each seafood restaurant<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06511.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau Market\" \/><i class=\"special\">Tourists and locals alike check out the souvenir stalls<\/i><p>We found some stalls selling peppercorns by the bag as well as bottled ground pepper, so if you, like us, are utterly seduced by the smoky spiciness of the Phu Quoc pepper, salt and lime juice concoction that the restaurants serve with every seafood dish, you can buy up a storm here. Another stall we couldn\u2019t tear ourselves away from was the one selling candied nuts. There were at least 10 different flavours of the crunchy snack, from salted caramel to ginger. You can buy them in three different sizes and make excellent gifts.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06514.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau market\" \/><i class=\"special\">You can buy Phu Quoc peppercorns by weight or the ground ones prepacked<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06519.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau market\" \/><i class=\"special\">You will see one big stall selling candied nuts with all sorts of flavours<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06524.jpg\" alt=\"Dinh Cau market\" \/><i class=\"special\">Fresh grilled seafood from one of the seafood restaurants<\/i><p>End the night with a Saigon beer and grilled squid at one of the restaurants near the entrance.<\/p><h3>Day 4: Back to Singapore<\/h3><p>We had to wake up very early to make our flights back to Singapore. Fortunately, the hotel breakfast starts early and the variety and quality were amazing. You\u2019ll have a little time during the stopover at Ho Chi Minh City to do some last minute shopping, but otherwise, you can still buy some souvenirs at the shops inside the International Airport. You\u2019ll be back in Singapore in the evening and wishing you were still on Sao Beach.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aDSC06547.jpg\" alt=\"VietJet\" \/><i class=\"special\">View of the VietJet plane from the lounge at the airport<\/i><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/aIMG_6681.jpg\" alt=\"VietJet\" \/><i class=\"special\">Snacks and meals available on board VietJet if you booked SkyBoss, their business class <\/i><hr \/><p class=\"special\">Accommodation:<br \/><br \/>Rex Hotel Saigon<br \/>141 Nguyen Hue Blvd, Vietnam<br \/>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rexhotelvietnam.com\/\">www.rexhotelvietnam.com<\/a><br \/><br \/>Novotel Phu Quoc Resort<br \/>Phu Quoc, Duong Bao, Duong To, Vietnam<br \/>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novotel.com\/gb\/hotel-9770-novotel-phu-quoc-resort-\/index.shtml\">www.novotel.com\/PhuQuoc<\/a><br \/><br \/>About VietJet Air:<br \/><br \/>Vietjet is the first airline in Vietnam to operate as a new-age airline with low-cost and diversified services to meet customers\u2019 needs.
