Many people come to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and only know about cafes, landmark churches, and war museums during the day. But those who really know how to play know that the most exciting thing about Ho Chi Minh is at night.
The night in this city is not just about feasting and feasting, but a kind of "Vietnamese freedom" - music, beer, hot girls, neon, and smoke intertwined into a steamy party.
Ho Chi Minh Bar Street Guide: Pham Ngu Lao Street & Bui Van Street
The busiest nightlife centers in Ho Chi Minh are Pham Ngu Lao Street and Bui Vien Street.
These two streets are almost connected together. They look like ordinary tourist streets during the day, but they completely change at night. The whole street is full of people, the small chairs on the roadside are full, DJ music is blasting, and outdoor performances come one after another.
Some people drank beer, some danced, and some sat on small chairs and watched life unfold.
The music on Biwen Street is more electronic. The whole street is like an open-air nightclub. You can walk, drink and dance until the early morning.
