City to launch boat tour on Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe Canal
The 8.7-km Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe runs through District 1, District 3, Tan Binh, Phu Nhuan and Binh Thanh districts where many significant architectural works exist.
The two-hour tour, operated by Saigon Boat Tour, will use manually rowed boats to transport tourists on the canal's section from the Sai Gon Zoo and Botanical Garden in District 1 to Vinh Nghiem Pagoda in District 3. Each boat can transport up to 20 tourists.
The Saigon Boat Tour will also open a river tour from the Bach Dang Wharf in District 1 to Binh Dong Station in District 8.
Last year, the city opened seven river tours from Bach Dang Wharf to the city's popular tourism destinations, including Binh Quoi tourism area in Binh Thanh District, and Long Phuoc garden house in District 9. — VNS
