Nestled along the serene Saigon River, the lush and green Binh My Tourism Site in Cu Chi District on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City is a refreshing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the urban center.
Located about 25 kilometers from downtown HCMC, this four-hectare retreat is a choice among locals and those in-the-know. After an arduous work week, come here to relax amid beautiful nature and partake in a range of bucolic activities to relieve accumulated stress.
The site boasts two hectares of farmsteads where visitors can set up a day-long picnic, get down and dirty with local farmers doing daily chores, and observe the routines of country living.
Other areas on site host a variety of activities. Tourists can go fishing, unwind on a sightseeing cruise, visit a miniature zoo, and buy handicrafts made from coconut, rattan and bamboo.
The highlight of visiting Binh My is the delectable cuisine. Savory dishes like soya cakes, spring rolls, braised shrimp and fish, and unique drinks such as wine with milk cost from VND14,000-180,000 (US$0.84-10.84). Presented in a confluence of colors and brash decorations, each dish will surely satisfy the palate of even the most discerning guest.
The forthcoming development plan for the tourism site focuses on expanding the riverbank grounds by about two hectares and upgrading the ecological zone, outdoor field, and sporting center. The cruise route on the Saigon River will be extended on two lines: Bach Dang Harbor – Binh My and Binh My – Trung An orchard – Cu Chi tunnels.
A chain of comfortable, clean and airy bungalows – priced at around VND180,000 a night – is available for overnight stay. With the cool lazy breezes from the Saigon River chasing away one’s worries, Binh My is a prime location for the Saigonese to enjoy a cozy weekend escape from the city’s heat.
