Drinks & Nightlife
Let me just start out by saying that if you want to get a glass of wine in District 1, there should be no other conversation happening other than: “What time do you want to meet at Brix?” I had no idea going into this establishment how excited I would end up leaving, having found a place to find a Gruner Veltliner (beautifully crisp Austrian white wine), a bar manager that knows his stuff, and a menu that is the perfect size with variations that actually make sense in a cheese bar concept.

We sampled the amazing beers of Heart of Darkness. My favourite was the Primeval Forest Pilsner, but the Pitiless Folly Pale Ale, Sacred Fire Golden Ale and Kurtz Insane IPA were amazing in their variety and complexity. Vietnam is a huge beer consuming society; the bar has been substantially raised. Sailor1003 from the Dragons host

Jade Emperor Pagoda was built in the period 1892-1900 and covers an area of 2,300 m2 following Chinese architectural design. In 1984, the pagoda was renamed Phuoc Hai Tu (Luck Sea Temple), but locals still preferred the old name ‘Ngoc Hoang’ (Jade Emperor) since the sanctum is to worship the supreme Taoist god. The pagoda is filled with parallel sentences, triptych, altars and statues of phantasmal divinities and grotesque heroes depicting characters from both Buddhist and Taoist Lores. This is the only pagoda in Vietnam possessing the ancient paper statue which represents the meetings of the Jade Emperor and other Gods. Ngoc Hoang Pagoda was visited by U.S President Barack Obama

Shopping
It is a large marketplace in central Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and an important symbol of Hồ Chí Minh City, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles, áo dài and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. The market developed from informal markets created by early 17th century street vendors gathering together near the Saigon River. The market was formally established by the French colonial powers after taking over the Gia Định citadel in 1859. This market was destroyed by fire in 1870 and rebuilt to become Saigon's largest market. In 1912 the market was moved to a new building as Ben Thanh market now.
