Notre Dame Cathedral
City HallHo Chi Minh City is similar in some ways to Hanoi. I was expecting a busy metropolis enclosed by tall skyscrapers but the backpackers' area where the bus dropped me off is pretty much similar to Hanoi's Old Quarter. Kiet says it's because we're in the wrong district: business and commercial districts are not located in the centre of the city.
Opera HouseThat said, its city centre where the French built their colonial structures - remnant of French imperialism - is pretty . I mean, come on, would the Vietnamese build an opera house? The city hall, and post office are really something to see. The river is another story though - apparently, the city council is trying to build up the district situated just across the river into another commercial district so maybe in a few years time, it may just look like Shanghai's Pudong area.
