ECHOING MINI-TRIP | TELLING STORIES OF SAIGON 09.07

ECHOING MINI-TRIP is a shortened history, culture, and religion walking tour held regularly on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. With a shorter route and simplified food and beverage activities while still covering the core content of the Echoing Trip, Echoing Mini-Trip offers a more affordable option for students, participants who cannot arrange time on weekends, or those who are unable to walk longer distances.

From the last 50 years of the 19th century, Saigon was an open trading port. As a result, it became a meeting place for many different cultural communities, all of which contributed to the city's urbanization and distinctive urban culture. TELLING STORIES OF SAIGON is a 2.5 km walking trip that explores the hidden cultural corners of the modern city left behind by the Malay, Indian, Chinese, and French communities that once thrived in the Pearl of the Far East.
