Binh Quoi Tourist Village in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Binh Quoi Tourist Village is the collective name most visitors use for a group of riverside leisure areas on Thanh Da peninsula in Ho Chi Minh City, especially Binh Quoi 1, Binh Quoi 2 and Binh Quoi 3. Managed by Saigontourist’s Binh Quoi Tourist Village system, the properties use gardens, ponds, coconut trees, lawns, traditional-style buildings and southern Vietnamese food to create a slower atmosphere within the city. It is best for families, groups and travelers who want a relaxed meal and outdoor time rather than another museum or shopping center. The most important planning detail is that the three Binh Quoi sites are separate properties along Binh Quoi Street, not one attraction with a single entrance and universal opening schedule.

Binh Quoi 1 is the branch most strongly associated with the classic “southern countryside” experience. The current operator places it at 1147 Binh Quoi and describes more than three hectares beside the Saigon River, with coconut palms, orchards, grass, ponds and open event areas. Services include fishing, rowing, river cruises, folk games, restaurants, conference facilities and outdoor spaces used for weddings or group activities. Visitors who see photographs of thatched structures and rural-style dining are often looking at this branch.

Food is central to Binh Quoi 1. The operator continues to promote a southern-cuisine buffet built around regional dishes, folk games and traditional đờn ca tài tử performance. The official English page lists the buffet on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays from 17:00 to 20:30, while current Vietnamese promotional material shows that special events and prices can be updated during 2026. These are buffet hours, not proof that the entire tourist area follows the same schedule every day. Anyone visiting outside the buffet should contact the branch for current restaurant or grounds access.

Binh Quoi 2 is farther along the peninsula and has its own identity. The operator describes a much larger riverside property with more than 25,000 square metres, bungalow accommodation, restaurants, open lawns and a swimming pool for staying guests. It is aimed more at relaxation and longer leisure time than a quick meal. Binh Quoi 3, also known as Quan Xua, is smaller and uses a rustic riverside style, with family-friendly activities, dining and space to sit by the water. Choosing the correct branch therefore matters more than memorizing one generic “Binh Quoi Village” description.

The wider Binh Quoi system is active in 2026. Its official website is current, publishes branch pages, events and promotions, and lists a general hotline. A 2026 campaign running through September specifically applies across Binh Quoi 1, Binh Quoi 2 and Quan Xua, which is strong evidence that all three remain part of the active operator network. Travelers should still book the exact branch they intend to use, especially for weekend dining, private events or river activities.

A typical visit lasts two to four hours. Families may stay longer if children use open spaces or if the group books a buffet, fishing or a private function. Photographers may also want extra time around the gardens. Weekends are generally livelier because of the food program and events, while weekdays can feel quieter. The experience is not a tightly structured attraction with a sequence of exhibits, so there is little value in rushing from one photo point to another.

Transport is simplest by taxi or ride-hailing from central Ho Chi Minh City. Thanh Da peninsula is geographically close to the old downtown core but road traffic can make the trip slower than expected. Use “Binh Quoi 1,” “Binh Quoi 2” or “Binh Quoi 3” and the exact address in the app rather than entering only “Binh Quoi Village.” A driver can otherwise take you to the wrong branch, leaving a substantial walk or another ride between properties.

Accessibility varies and is not comprehensively documented. Landscaped grounds, lawns, traditional buildings and waterside paths can include uneven surfaces or thresholds. Binh Quoi 2’s resort facilities may differ from Binh Quoi 1’s event lawns or Binh Quoi 3’s smaller restaurant setting. Travelers who need step-free access, accessible toilets or minimal walking should call the chosen branch before leaving the city.

Binh Quoi Tourist Village works best as a flexible riverside outing rather than a single checklist sight. Decide first whether your priority is Binh Quoi 1’s southern buffet and folk atmosphere, Binh Quoi 2’s larger resort-style setting or Binh Quoi 3’s quieter riverside dining. Confirm the branch schedule, allow time to sit outdoors and treat the food and greenery as the main experience. That approach makes the complex a useful contrast to the dense streets and towers of central Ho Chi Minh City.

A current 2026 promotion gives another useful sign of how the three branches operate as a connected system while retaining separate identities. The operator ran a July-to-September check-in campaign across Binh Quoi 1, Binh Quoi 2 and Quan Xua, asking guests to photograph the landscape at the specific branch they were visiting. That is a practical reminder that the common brand should not be confused with one single park. If you are meeting friends or booking a driver, share the branch name and confirmation rather than only the words “Binh Quoi.”
