Saigon River Bus was officially put into operation in mid-2017. In recent years in Ho Chi Minh City, this type of tourism has received a lot of attention and investment. This is a new experience, the choice of many tourists every weekend.

To avoid the noise, traffic jams, and dust of Saigon , many people choose a quieter and more peaceful space, where they can relax and admire the city's key buildings from a new perspective.

With the spirit of feeling the city from a different perspective, the river bus is a great choice for visitors to fully admire the Saigon River and high-rise buildings.

The river bus starts from Bach Dang Wharf (District 1, Ho Chi Minh City) and passes through 4 stations, the largest stations are Bach Dang Station (District 1), Binh An Station (Thu Duc City), Thanh Da Station (Binh Thanh District) and Linh Dong Station (Thu Duc City). The interval between trips is 1 hour. The total journey takes about 30 minutes for a distance of nearly 11km.

Sitting on the train, enjoying the cool breeze, the little blue sky, gliding past famous bridges such as Saigon Bridge, Thu Thiem Bridge, the city-scale constructions make us love this city more, understand more the daily changes of the city in particular and Vietnam in general.
