📚 Ho Chi Minh City Travel Guide
🌏 Two long stopovers, two great cities. On the way out you get 14h 30m in Chengdu (land 06:00, fly on at 20:30): a morning with the giant pandas at the breeding base and a Sichuan hotpot before your evening flight. On the way back it is 15h 30m in Shanghai (land 09:20, fly on at 00:50): a full day for the Bund, Yu Garden and the Pudong skyline after dark. Most European passports, Spanish included, can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days through December 2026, so both stops can be real city days rather than airport waits. Check the rules for your own passport before you fly.

🌍 About Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City is still Saigon to most people who live here, and the old name fits the pace — louder, hotter and more frantic than Hanoi. The thing to do is the War Remnants Museum: blunt, harrowing, and the clearest single account of the war you'll find anywhere in the country. Then eat bún thịt nướng — grilled pork over cold rice noodles, herbs and crushed peanuts, drowned in fish-sauce dressing — and drink cà phê sữa đá, coffee dripped over condensed milk and ice. District 1 holds the colonial-era core; the Cu Chi tunnels are a half-day trip out. Come December to March, the dry season, for sun and bearable humidity; May to November is the wet months, with daily afternoon downpours — though that's also when fares drop.
