Meeting point: 74 Hai Ba Trung Str., (The Manufacture Courtyard Gate) Our guides are recognized with a blue paper fan, passcode: Momo
In front of The Manufacture Courtyard Gate (Look out for the blue paper fan!)
The Manufacture Courtyard is a historic site that originally served as an opium refinery known as "La Manufacture d’Opium," established in 1881 and had been changed to the "red light district" of Saigon in 1974
The Saigon Opera House is a prominent example of French colonial architecture in Ho Chi Minh City, completed in 1900. This historic venue has served various roles throughout its history, including a temporary shelter during the Vietnam War and a legislative assembly, before being restored to its original purpose as a cultural performance space to host a variety of shows, including the acclaimed A O Show.
Marvel at the grandeur of this iconic French colonial-era church, a symbol of Saigon's rich history and cultural heritage.
The Saigon People's Committee Building, originally known as Hôtel de Ville, is reminiscent of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris. After the reunification of Vietnam in 1975, it was repurposed as the headquarters for the People's Committee, symbolizing the transition from colonial rule to an independent government.
Stop at the coffee apartment to grab a drink (optional) and learn more about local gastronomy culture.
Back to the last days of the Vietnam War with a photo of the helicopter on a secret building.
Step into a time capsule of architectural splendor, where colonial charm meets bustling modernity, in this functioning post office adorned with stunning interior design.
The iconic building, originally the presidential palace, features elegant 1960s architecture and used to be labelled as "The White House" in Vietnam
