These photos are from my last day in Ho Chi Minh City. The architecture in the city is so diverse that it's possible to see grand, French-style buildings, shiny new skyscrapers and lively shop-houses all on one street. Many of the historical buildings are in District 1, within walking distance of one another, so we managed to visit them all in just half a day.
City Hall / Saigon Opera House / Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica /
a photogenic building / phone-booths
My favourite building: the Central Post Office. I couldn't stop admiring its interior decor!
The Reunification Palace: This place is stuffed FULL of history. Every tile, every curtain, every speck of dust has a story to tell. Okay, maybe not, but there's really so much to see in this building, with its underground war rooms, secret lift and rooftop helipad (and old-school typewriters!).
I want to go there now.
ReplyDeleteI hope to go back again too! It'll be really easy to hop over to Vietnam for a visit once you're here :)
