Ho Chi Minh City during Christmas: Map of impressive photo spots

Festive atmosphere filled the shopping malls

In the last days of the year, Ho Chi Minh City puts on a new and brilliant look, especially in the large shopping centers. These are places that are elaborately decorated and attract a large number of people to visit and take pictures.

At the 30/4 Park area, Diamond Plaza creates a highlight with "giant gift boxes" that allow visitors to step inside to interact, instead of just posing outside as usual. The frontage space of Le Duan Street of this center is always one of the most crowded places.

Meanwhile, Saigon Centre and Takashimaya continue to be the top choices for those who love modern, meticulous decoration. The miniature landscapes here are carefully invested, creating a luxurious and eye-catching space.

Creative and innovative highlights

If you are looking for a different style, GEM Center is a suggestion worth considering. This place is decorated in a fairy theme with sweet pastel tones, creating a unique and poetic photography space.

Near the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House, the Caravelle Saigon Hotel also kicks off the holiday season with its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This year’s highlight is the adorable Teddy Bears on display in the lobby. Guests can “adopt” a bear, and all proceeds will go to VinaCapital Foundation’s Can-Clover program to support children with cancer.

Alternatives and familiar spaces

Not only the big centers, many cafes in the city have also completed Christmas decorations. Diverse miniature scenes, from cozy to splendid, are ready to serve customers' photography needs.

Coffee shops in Ho Chi Minh City have also decorated for Christmas.

The Notre Dame Cathedral area remains a familiar Christmas symbol of the city. Along with that, Ho Chi Minh City Book Street has become an effective backup plan when the central areas become overloaded. The bookstores here all have beautifully decorated miniatures on the facade in a more open space.

The secret to having a satisfactory Christmas photo album

To take beautiful photos during the crowded holiday season, some practical preparation is essential.

Notes on moving and parking

According to Diep Han (20 years old, student), the Diamond Plaza area is very crowded in the evening and the parking lot is often full. "I usually park my car at the Youth Cultural House. Or if you just stop by to take a quick photo, you can park at MPlaza, the side exit can lead to Notre Dame Cathedral and Book Street," Han said.

Choose the time and light

For coffee shops, choosing the time is very important. Ms. My Duyen (25 years old, office worker) shared her experience after taking photos at Nham Coffee: "The lights are really sparkling at night, but everyone needs to know how to adjust the parameters when taking photos to avoid burning the photos. If you want to have beautiful photos right away, you should go during the day, before 17:00 is the most ideal."
