The Saigon Central Post Office

The Saigon Central Post Office was built between 1886 and 1891, during which time it was modernized from an earlier building. Designed by architects Villedieu and Foulhoux, its exterior features a combination of European and Eastern architectural styles and has become a beloved landmark and symbol of Ho Chi Minh City.

11:20 AM

Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saigon

Notre-Dame Cathedral of Saigon was built between 1877 and 1880 by the French Colonial Government in Indochina. It is intentionally similar to its namesake in Paris, as it was modeled after European cathedrals and built with French materials to reflect French colonial architecture in Vietnam.

Today, it has become a popular tourist spot in Saigon. We will not go inside the Church because it’s being renovated and not ready to be reopened for visitor.

11:40 AM

11:50 AM

The City Hall

It was the French colonial city hall built between 1898 and 1908. Its French builders drew inspiration from town halls in Europe that is why it was called Hotel de Ville of Saigon. The building was known as the City Hall of Saigon before 1975, now the headquarters of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. You will take pictures from outside only.

12:30 PM

China Town - Cho Lon

Cho Lon, also known as Saigon’s Chinatown, has a fascinating history that dates back centuries. It began as a settlement of Chinese traders who migrated to the area during the 18th century. These immigrants brought their vibrant culture, traditions, and businesses, creating a distinct Chinese enclave within Saigon. Today, it is the busiest wholesales market of the city.

It stands as one of the oldest and most revered Chinese temples in Vietnam, attracting visitors with its stunning architectural features and rich spiritual atmosphere.

About Tour Guide Victor N.

I am an English speaking tour guide in Saigon who is specialized in Cu Chi Tunnels Trip. I spent 15 years taking tourists to that place every week. I created a historical video which explains the Vietnam War and the tunnels system. I play the video in the vehicle while we are going to the tunnel from the hotel; and the tourists enjoy it very much. Of course, I also do other tours as City tour, Mekong Delta…
