In addition to operating in District 1 and District 4,
the open-top double-decker bus now has a new route
around District 5 and District 6.
Since late May, the double-decker bus route Saigon - Cho
Lon has officially come into operation. Departing from
Saigon bus station and Pham Ngu Lao Tourist Area, the
double-decker bus will take people and tourists to
explore the beauty and enjoy the Chinese - Vietnamese
cultural space in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.
According to the first passengers to experience the new
double-decker bus route, this was an interesting
experience when passengers could see the whole Cho Lon
area from above. Sitting on the bus was comfortable and
airy, the automatic presentation system about the
attractions along the way was very useful.
The 20km bus route runs along Tran Hung Dao, Chau Van
Liem, Hai Thuong Lan Ong streets in districts 1, 5 and
6. The new double-decker bus route will take visitors
through the old streets with typical architecture of the
Chinese community.
Locals and tourists have the opportunity to immerse
themselves in the vibrant life of Hao Si Phuong
neighborhood, Oriental medicine street, lantern street,
Binh Tay market, An Dong market, Nghia An Assembly Hall
(Ong Pagoda), Tue Thanh Assembly Hall (Ba Pagoda)...
The Saigon - Cho Lon double-decker bus route operates
from 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. with 30 trips a day.
According to the Ho Chi Minh City Department of
Transport, the pilot expansion of the tourist transport
service by double-decker, open-top cars to District 5
and District 6 will contribute to supporting the
development of the night-time economy and tourism.
There are currently two agencies operating two open-top
double-decker bus routes for tourists. Of which, Anh
