Many come to the capital of southern Vietnam for one or two days before heading to Nha Trang, Phan Thiet or Mui Ne.

A beautiful garden has been laid out around the Palace; an exposition of military equipment works in it: tanks, planes, helicopters, etc.

What to see in Ho Chi Minh in one day: you can come to the city hall (City Hall) in the morning and in the evening to take a picture of it under beautiful illumination. But we didn't go.

City Hall

A really very beautiful building, where you can come both during the day and after sunset - in the dark it is spectacularly illuminated. By the way, now there is no longer a municipality, but a house of culture. The entrance inside the building is closed for tourists - but they say there is nothing interesting there.

A very colorful and noisy Vietnamese market, where you can buy a lot of stuff - from antiques to French rule, including fake ones. Clothes and souvenirs are also in bulk here. Don't forget to bargain!

Bitexco financial tower

A very beautiful skyscraper. It owes such an unusual shape to the architect, who was inspired, as usual, by a lotus flower (or could it be otherwise)?

Tunnels Kuti

Located in the village of Kuti, these tunnels are the most vivid reminder of the events of the Vietnam War. This place is a settlement of partisans who fled from enemy soldiers and defended their land. Civilians dug long tunnels (total length - 300 m) and lived there with their families. To protect themselves from the US military, they set up traps, made very small narrow passages, and placed poisoned metal pikes all over the place.

Ho Chi Minh Central Square (Ho Chi Minh Square)

The central square in front of the city council building, which combines the cultures of three countries - France, Vietnam and the USSR. Next to architectural masterpieces in the style of 19th-century Paris are modern buildings decorated with Vietnamese attributes, and nearby stands the office of the Communist Youth League with a symbolic hammer and sickle.
