Saigon Central Post Office 0698
Ho Chi Min City today reflects its very mixed heritage: it is the most populous metropolitan area in Vietnam, and the county’s fast-growing economic centre. But, it still looks to the past, with magnificent French architecture rubbing shoulders with Asian street food and traditional temples, and reminders of the terrible legacy of the Vietnam War share space with tributes to “Reunification” under the current regime.
The Saigon Central Post Office is the most celebrated example of Renaissance architecture in Vietnam.
