We will tour the
important parts of Saigon. We will visit to the
Re Unification Palace, the former palace of
President Thieu and his predecessors. Today this
building is a museum and venue for official
receptions. You can visit the private rooms of
the president, the “War Room” from where the
South Vietnamese forces were controlled, and,
most poignantly, the room where the North
Vietnamese army finally took control in 1975.
Nearby is the Post Office and the Notre Dame
Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883 and one
of the city’s major landmarks. Neo-Romanesque in
form, Notre Dame is the major seat of the
Catholic religion in modern Vietnam. We continue
to the War Remains Museum, where you can learn a
lot about the Vietnam War. Lunch with Vietnamese
delicacies. In the afternoon we will visit to
Jade Emperor Temple, one of the oldest Chinese
temples in Saigon. The last sight we will visit
is Ben Thanh market, where all kind of goods are
offered |
