Visitors can also view a conventional bomb weighing 6,800kg. These weapons were used by American forces against the Vietnamese from 1945 to 1975.

In 1962, the Vatican elevated it to a basilica, officially naming it Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica.
• Central Post Office - The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved relic of French colonial times and possibly the most magnificent post office in Southeast Asia.

Designed by Alfred Foulhoux, the building features arched windows and wooden shutters, reminiscent of its late 19th-century prime.

The market is large and can be challenging to navigate at times, and it’s best to avoid during the hottest part of the day, but it’s definitely worth a visit. As night falls, restaurants around the market’s perimeter open, creating a lively street-side scene filled with the aromas of wok-fried noodles, barbecued fish, and meats. As one of Saigon’s oldest landmarks, Ben Thanh offers an authentic Vietnamese atmosphere.
