Not a tourist cruise but a commuter service, which makes it the cheapest Saigon River trip going. Leaving Bach Dang you pass Thu Thiem's new towers on one side and District 1's skyline on the other, and after Ba Son Landmark 81 rears up on the bank. The line runs eight stops: Bach Dang, Thu Thiem, Ba Son, Binh An, Thao Dien, Thanh Da, Hiep Binh Chanh and Linh Dong. Sit by a window in the air-conditioned cabin or stand on the back deck in the breeze.
