Nguyen Hue, the Walking Street

Afternoons, evenings, weekends, it is always pleasant to walk along Nguyen Hue. From Le Thanh Ton, which is perpendicular to Nguyen Hue, stands the Ho Chi Minh City City Hall, this dedicated walking space makes city walking a pleasurable urban activity.

You get a view of the hotels, restaurants, upscale department stores around. Children, young people, old folks, tourists and locals, just having a pleasant time along Nguyen Hue is a delight to watch. It is like being away from the confusions of the modern world.

Here, it is not totally peaceful. You can still hear the motorbikes or the people chatting and laughing, music playing in some areas. But it is not chaotic. There is a sense of order and a sight that somehow assures you it is a very safe place.
