Starting on Cầu Trường Đai, Gò Vấp, cycling south on Lê Đức Thọ, take a right into Đường Lê Văn Thọ and go south to Quang Trung, turn left and cycle east. Skip to the back lane Nguyễn Thông, Phường 10, Quận 3, cycling east and coming out at Ga Sài Gòn, Saigon railway terminal. Cycling south and taking a right turn into the small alley Hẻm 240 Cách Mạng Tháng Tám and go south to Đường Cách Mạng Tháng Tám and turn right. Keep going west and then skip to after a left turn into Tô Hiến Thành and cycling southwest until taking a right turn into Hem 116 Tô Hiến Thành, Phường 15, Quận 10, a residential area with tiny alleys. This is the budget accommodation center of inner Saigon. I once visited a room in a nearby area, where the ceiling was so low I couldnt stand up, i had to stoop or sit. The people living there were shorter than me and could stand up straight and laugh at me.
