Discover the symbolic significance of the lotus in Vietnamese culture. Join us for a journey of exploration, vegetarian cuisine, and indigenous traditions.
- Ho Chi Minh City - Our fascinating tour around Ho Chi Minh City is a perfect blend of Vietnamese culture with the delight of walking among local areas.
We’ll wander around the largest flower market to take a closer look at the lotus flower, explore the structure and its meaning. You not only listened to the history of the lotus, but also hands-on experience of how the flower is cherished, transformed for decoration, and how tasty they are!
The tour is timed perfectly to show you how the flower is utilized from day to night. As nightfall befell the city, we’ll move to the National pagoda of Vietnam where we slowly discover the symbolic meanings of lotus in Buddhism and use lotus flower as an offering.
After diving deeply into the spiritual vitality of the lotus, WEAW would love to boost your energy with Vietnamese traditional cuisine at a vegetarian restaurant with many dishes made from lotus.
Last but not least, we’ll whisk away to our final stop at a special art gallery. While drinking lotus tea and snacking on dessert, we’ll listen to entrancing historical tunes and find how integral the lotus is to the past, present and future of Vietnam.

‘Near the mud but it does not stink like mud’
Living in the mud, the lotus still blooms beautifully and retains its own beauty and aroma. Therefore, the lotus is known as a symbol of purity and vitality. Just like the lotus, Vietnamese people also have the ability to rise from the dirt as well as bloom brightly from the darkness and reach out to the world.
Wander with us to explore the great things and the value of lotus. Lotus flowers can also be processed as food. The sweetness of lotus seeds in the soup, the ecstatic aroma of lotus leaves in each grain of rice or the cool taste of lotus roots can make you forget the way home.
Go with WEAW, you will have the opportunity to enjoy unique Vietnamese vegetarian cuisine, discover authentic indigenous lifestyles and learn the profound meaning of lotus flowers towards Vietnamese people.
