3. Ba Thien Hau Temple in Saigon is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess, Mazu. It’s believed that she protects and rescues ships and people on the sea by flying around on a mat or cloud. Mazuism is connected with traditions and beliefs from both Taoism and Buddhism. Mazuism is therefore an incorporation of different aspects and traditions which have merged to form a new belief. You will find this temple in ‘Cholon’ (Chinatown) in District 5, which is roughly a twenty minute drive from the city centre.

4. Notre Dame Built between 1863 and 1880 by French colonists, the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon is the most impressive cathedral in Vietnam. Modeled on Notre-Dame de Paris and built with materials shipped over from France, the cathedral is the religious center for Vietnam’s 6.2 million Catholics.

5. The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh was constructed between 1886 and 1891 and once inside, the looping arches, intricately designed marble floors and antiquated telephone boxes all serve as a reminder of the importance the post office played in days before email and mobile phones. Although the architecture is distinctly French, the large portrait of Ho Chi Minh hanging high above everyone at the far end of the building reminds everyone we are definitely in Vietnam. Painted onto walls overhead are two maps of the region; one of them showing the telegraph lines that crisscross Vietnam and Cambodia and the other displaying a map of the Saigon region in 1892.

About Ho Chi Minh-byen

Ho Chi Minh-byen, fortsatt ofte kalt Saigon, er Vietnams brusende handelssentrum med franske koloniale landemerker, krigshistorie og fantastisk gatemat.

Distrikt 1 rommer hovedattraksjonene innen gangavstand: den røde murstenskatedralen Notre-Dame, det elegante Sentralpostkontoret med sin hvelvede hall, det koloniale operahuset og det utsmykkede rådhuset. Uavhengighetspalasset bevarer rommene slik de var ved krigens slutt, og Krigsrestmuseet forteller om konflikten med nøktern åpenhet.

Top-ranked sights in Ho Chi Minh-byen: Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon Opera House (Opéra de Saïgon), Saigon Central Post Office.
