1. Formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes, this is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the ‘Requiem' exhibit is particularly touching, dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict. The exhibit includes the last shots these photographers had taken before their deaths. The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine.

2. This is one of the most important buildings in the city. Here on April 30, 1975, what the Vietnamese refer to as the ‘American War' officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam.

3. Built between 1877 and 1883 this is one of the best examples of classical French colonial architecture. Remarkably every stone used in its creation was shipped from France to Vietnam. The Old Post Office is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the country's largest post office.

About Ho Chi Minh City

Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, noch oft Saigon genannt, ist Vietnams pulsierendes Handelszentrum mit französischen Kolonialbauten, Kriegsgeschichte und Streetfood.

Distrikt 1 vereint die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten in Gehweite: die rote Backstein-Kathedrale Notre-Dame, das elegante Hauptpostamt mit seiner gewölbten Halle, das koloniale Opernhaus und das verzierte Rathaus. Der Unabhängigkeitspalast bewahrt seine Räume so, wie sie am Kriegsende waren, und das Kriegsreste-Museum erzählt die Geschichte des Konflikts mit ernüchternder Direktheit.
