Meeting Point
Ben Thanh Market
- We'll meet at the iconic Ben Thanh Market, located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. It's one of the city's most vibrant landmarks, known for its historic charm, colourful stalls, and bustling atmosphere. The main entrance—marked by its distinctive clock tower—is easy to spot and serves as a perfect starting point for our photography session.
Nguyen Hue Walking street
Located in the heart of District 1, Nguyen Hue Walking Street is a lively pedestrian boulevard lined with colonial architecture, modern cafés, and vibrant city life. With its wide open space, musical fountains, and stunning views of the City Hall, it’s a favourite spot for both locals and tourists. This dynamic setting offers a perfect backdrop for portraits, especially in the evening when the lights come alive.
Notre Dame Cathedral of Saigon
A timeless symbol of Ho Chi Minh City, the Notre Dame Cathedral stands proudly in the heart of District 1. Built in the late 19th century with red bricks imported from France, its neo-Romanesque architecture, twin bell towers, and peaceful square make it one of the most photogenic and historically rich spots in the city. Whether bathed in morning light or glowing at sunset, it offers a stunning backdrop for portraits and a serene place to begin your photo journey.
