War Remnants Museum
The War Remnants Museum has great historical significance as a testament to the cruel reality of the Second Indochina War and its profound effects on the Vietnamese people. The exhibition here, which includes disturbing photographs of the atrocities of war, vividly depicts the suffering endured by the Vietnamese people, with many images coming from US sources. The collection of posters and images on the ground floor demonstrating international anti-war support provides a counterpoint to the horrors depicted on the upper floors. With exhibits on the widespread destruction caused by napalm and the devastating effects of Agent Orange, the museum helps visitors confront the harsh realities of war. The inclusion of experimental weapons and the Requiem Exhibition, commemorating the photographers who died in the conflict, further enhance the museum's historical significance.
The Independence Palace
The Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Palace, is a significant historical landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. Built in the 1960s, it served as the residence and workplace of the Presidents of the Republic of Vietnam. The palace is notably marked by the historical event on April 30, 1975, when Liberation Army tanks entered its gates, signifying the end of the Vietnam War and the reunification of the country. Visitors to the Independence Palace can explore meeting rooms, reception halls, and historical artifacts preserved from the 1970s. With its unique architecture and expansive grounds, the Independence Palace is not only a historical monument but also a place that educates and instills patriotism and conveys valuable historical lessons.

Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon, a prominent architectural symbol of Ho Chi Minh City, was constructed by the French from 1877 to 1880. Featuring Roman and Gothic styles, the cathedral stands out with its two bell towers, each 58 meters tall, and a façade made of red bricks imported from France. Inside, the spacious interior is adorned with beautiful stained glass windows depicting scenes from the Bible. The Notre-Dame Cathedral is not only a place of worship but also a popular tourist attraction, deeply connected to the history and culture of Saigon.
