About Cidade de Ho Chi Minh

Cidade de Ho Chi Minh, ainda chamada Saigon, é o animado polo comercial do Vietname: edifícios coloniais, história de guerra e comida de rua.

O Distrito 1 reúne as principais atrações a pé: a Catedral de Notre-Dame em tijolo vermelho, a elegante Estação Central dos Correios com a sua sala abobadada, a Ópera colonial e a ornamentada Câmara Municipal. O Palácio da Independência conserva as suas salas como estavam no fim da guerra, e o Museu dos Vestígios da Guerra conta a história do conflito com uma franqueza que dá que pensar.
