Ho Chi Minh City is at the stage where old Saigon meets the emerging modern metropolis that HCMC is about to become. This is also expressed in numerous architectural contrasts, as shown here. It seems that the pale blue background with the modern office complex is just a dead backdrop for the colorful, vivid foreground at the bottom right, with the idiosyncratic house and the tree.
