About
A ferry terminal linking Ho Chi Minh City with Nhon Trach (Dong Nai) across the Dong Nai River, running day and night and carrying nearly 40.000 passengers a day.
Why go
It is not a tourist attraction built for show but a ferry that people on both banks use to get to work and carry goods every day. Wheeling your motorbike onto the ferry and watching the wide stretch of river and cargo ships go by is a way to see that Saigon still lives by its waterways.
Good to know
At peak hours, on weekends and after Tet holidays, traffic can back up for a kilometer. There is nowhere to sit and no services for sightseers; the far bank is Nhon Trach.
On the menu
Dish names as the place writes them.
