VIETNAM CHRONICLES: HONG KONG FOODIE ZONE IN SAIGON (PHAN XICH LONG) (EPISODE 2) #saigon #vietnam

WELCOME TO THE ARMYGUY TRAVELS ARMY:

Welcome to Episode 2 of Vietnam Chronicles, where I will show you a snapshot of a relatively new neighborhood in Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Phan Xich Long is a foodie heaven packed with restaurants featuring culinary options from around Asia. While I was here, I found options from China, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, and even the United States. Then I found a beer garden featuring delicious Belgian beers and we tried a few of them.

Whether its dinner with friends, a meal alone, or a date night with a beautiful Vietnamese lady, this area has a plethora of options for an enjoying night.

This neighborhood is named in honor of Vietnamese revolutionary Phan Xich Long who lived from 1893-1916. was a Vietnamese mystic and geomancer who raised an unsuccessful uprising against French rule in Cochinchina from 1913 to 1916. He attempted to exploit religion as a cover for his own political ambitions, having started his own ostensibly religious organisation. Claiming to be a descendant of Emperor Hàm Nghi, Long staged a ceremony to crown himself as the emperor of Vietnam, before trying to seize power in 1913 by launching an armed uprising against the colonial rule of French Indochina. His supporters launched an attack on Saigon in March 1913, drinking potions that purportedly made them invisible and planting bombs at several locations. The insurrection against the French colonial administration failed when none of the bombs detonated and the supposedly invisible supporters were apprehended.

The French authorities imprisoned Long and many of his supporters, who openly admitted their aim of overthrowing French authorities at the trial. During the 1916 Cochinchina uprisings against French rule, many of Long’s supporters attempted to break him out of jail. The French easily repelled the attack on the jail, decimating Long’s movement. Following the attempted breakout, Long and his key supporters were put to death. Many of the remnants of his support base went on to join what later became the Cao Đài, a major religious sect in Vietnam.

I will be in Saigon aka Ho Chi Minh City for my living situation and venturing around the entire country to show you how amazing this country is.
