Beyond central Saigon
Explore
eastern Saigon.
Locals still often say District 2 and District 9, although both are now part of Thu Duc City. Wider roads, river views and neighbourhood lanes make this side of the city rewarding on two wheels.
Three worthwhile stops
- Thu Thiem riverfront & Sala: arrive near sunset for open river views and a striking outlook towards the District 1 skyline.
- Thao Dien: follow quieter lanes for cafés, design shops, riverside corners and a relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere.
- Buu Long Pagoda: make a longer ride into the former District 9 for ornate architecture and a greener setting. Confirm your battery range and leave before rush hour.
