    This building was situated right beside our hotel. There is a statue of "Uncle Ho" in the park in front of this building.

    On Saturday night, the spot lights were all lit, and the building looked really different from daytime. On weekday nights, the lights are also on, but they were a lot dimmer.

    According to my guidebook, this is the most photographed building in HCMC. Do not miss it! It would be even better if you could see it at night on weekends, when they switched on all the lights!

    If you have decided to explore HCMC by walking, the city center can be visited in a few hours. One of the remarkable buildings that you should also visit is the city hall. While walking from the opera house to Ben Thanh Market, you can make a short stop here to take some pictures.

    The City Hall is known by many names, including Town Hall, Hôtel de Ville and People's Committee Hall... this name should be the official one, I believe. It's a beautiful French colonial building that, at night, is lit up. Sadly it is not possible to viist it.. it's a working government building.

    In front of the city hall there's a massive statue, dedicated to Uncle Ho... after Uncle Sam I guess. Uncle Ho is no one less the Ho CHi Minh himself, the father of the revolution and re-united Vietnam. In this statue he's portrayed reading a book to a child.

    The same building, taken in the day. It looks totally different during the night (see my previous tip), when it gets all lit up. Lovely!

    City Hall, or the Hotel de Ville, is a colonial French building, built in 1908, that adds a sense of history to the downtown area. It was originally built as the Saigon City Hall and it now houses the city's communist government, so it is heavily guarded.

    It's modern name is People's Committee Hall, and there is a nice statue of Ho Chi Minh out front.

    Nearby is the somewhat famous Rex Hotel, where the American journalists often got their daily briefings during the Vietnam War, infamously known as the "Five O'Clock Follies."

    The statue of Uncle Ho or Ho Chi Minh resides in front of the City Hall building.

    The famous Ho Chi Minh or Ho the Enlightened, sometimes known as Nguyen Ai Quoc- Nguyen the Patriot, was born Nguyen Tat Thanh in 1890.
    He's an ambivalent, enigmatic figure in many ways.

    This City Hall building simply shows the influence of the French architecture in Vietnam.
    It is located near the Rex Hotel.

    Saigon's city hall was constructed between 1902 and 1908, a fantastic ornate example of colonial architecture unfortunately not open to the public

    City Hall was built in the early of 1900's.
    Few French colonial buildings in Ho Chi Minh City are as well preserved as the City Hall..
