5/50.- Saigon, Town Hall

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, or Saigon's Town Hall, is a building with evident French influences. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Unfortunately it is not open to the public.

In front of this richly ornated building is a park, where a statue of Oncle Ho sits. A great place to take nice pictures!

Not far from here is one of the most famous hotels in town, the Rex Hotel. Its building sits at our left. At our right, walking along a broad avenue are two nice buildings you should not miss, the Opera House and the Notre dame Cathedral.
