Skip the soulless museums for this Duong family heritage site. The mix of French Victorian floor tiles and traditional wood framing serves pure aesthetic goals. Spend 45 minutes wandering the orchid-filled garden and checking out century-old heirlooms. Arrive before 9am to dodge massive tour bus waves. If you want the real vibe, book a Mekong boat tour that bundles this stop with a sunset cruise. It beats any crowded, air-conditioned alternative in the city.
