Reunification Palace

The Reunification Palace (Independence Palace) in Ho Chi Minh City is the most significant political landmark in Vietnam, the former seat of South Vietnamese government and site of the fall of Saigon on April 30, 1975. When a North Vietnamese tank famously crashed through its gates, the Vietnam War effectively ended. The palace's extraordinary 1960s modernist interiors — war rooms, reception halls, and rooftop helipad — are preserved exactly as they were.

Ben Thanh Market

Ben Thanh Market is Ho Chi Minh City's most iconic landmark and marketplace, a yellow-domed colonial-era trading hall rebuilt in 1914 at the heart of the city center. The market's 1,600 stalls sell everything from fresh produce and street food to clothing, souvenirs, and handicrafts, offering an authentic window into Saigon's commercial life. The surrounding streets transform into a lively night market after dark, making it a cornerstone of the city's culture and commerce.
