The Independence Palace
Reunification Palace During the "Fall of Saigon" in 1975, communist Vietnam gained its freedom. Numerous landmarks from the period may be found. An interesting monster constructed in the 1960s with Soviet assistance is the Reunification Palace (previously the Presidential Palace). Still standing in the front yard is the tank that symbolizes 'The Fall,' which blasted through its gates on April 30, 1975.
Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral
Known as the 'Paris of the East,' Saigon's Notre Dame Cathedral is a sight to behold. Its twin towers, constructed from bricks imported from Marseille, France, are easily identifiable. Don't miss the opportunity to take stunning photos of Vietnam's expansive, modern metropolis by visiting the Post Office.
