Saigon (modern Ho Chi Minh City) – ever called as ‘the Pearl of the Far East” or ‘Paris of the East’
during its time of being a French colony before 1954 for its unique mixture of
natural green surroundings, beautiful streets, attractive buildings designed in the european architectural
style and its modernity. Soon after the arrival of the French, new planning for this land was
developed by the colonial government and a series of structures began to
emerge such as Saigon
Notre Dame Cathedral,Continental
hotel, The Opera House, Norodom
Palace (later Independence
Palace), Ben Thanh Market etc. This city has experienced over 300 years
of countless historical fluctuations.
Our tour will take you to old historic buildings, of which some are more than
100 years old. Each building has its own stories going along with movements
of the city history, spanning from the French colonial time, then Vietnam War
to today. You will be told unique stories of theirs for each place we stop by.
You will be shown pictures of streets at
the time of more than 60 or 100 years ago to compare with the look they are today. In the Vietnam War 1954 - 1975, some photos were accidentally captured by international journalists and then have become the most iconic pictures of the war. A helicopter was precariously perching on the rooftop of a building picking up Americans and Vietnamese escaping the arrival of NVA troops or a tank crashed through the gate of the Independence Palace at the last minute of South Vietnam regime, they were all photo shot and become the most historical pictures of the Vietnam War. Now on our tour, you will be taken to the sites where those incidents happened to see what difference since then. Saigon is the most populous city in Vietnam. As the largest and most crucial economic center, its populations has been added by dozen thousands of foreigners who work, live or travel in this city.
