My name is Minh. (You can call me Tony!)

I am a pure Taiwanese-Chinese, who was born and raised up in Cholon Chinatown.
I had a chance to study and live oversea in Australia for 5 years, but in my whole life, Cholon Chinatown always has a strong connection with my childhood, growth and my career development... since all of my heart and love are for this little historic district of Ho Chi Minh city!
Apart from that, I also work with some friends - as a local experts and professional tourguide to promote Chinatown - and Chinese Community, which bring the fresh and new look to the tourists from all of the World that "We are proud to be Chinese-Vietnamese!" and as well together help promoting the local businesses in Cholon, which offer exotic and inordinary services that only the locals known (This is unfair!)

And those are the reason why I’m here to share with you the Heartful Saigon Cholon Chinatown discovery tour!

We will see you very soon! And, Welcome to Saigon Cholon! :)
