Independence Palace. For those visiting Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon as it is popularly known as, Independence Palace is a must-see. Especially if you are interested in history and have a fair idea of what transpired in the mid-1970s. It used to be called Norodom Palace and was the French colonial headquarters during France's reign over the region. When they departed, it became the residence of the South Vietnamese president Ngo Dinh Diem. However, he was such a despised leader that his own air force tried to finish him off by bombing the palace in 1962. He ordered a new residence to be built on the same site, with a bomb shelter, which was completed in 1966. Unfortunately, for him, he never got to see it. He was killed by his own troops in 1963. General Nguyen Van Thieu, the military head, decided to move into the completed palace instead. In the process, he also changed its name to Independence Palace. It’s from here that he and his commanders tried their best to fend off the communist forces. And then, on the 21st of April 1975, he was evacuated by the US forces in what would be the largest helicopter evacuation anywhere in the world. While it was renamed as the Reunification Palace immediately after the fall of Saigon, it is today known officially by its original name – Independence Palace. . . . Read more on the blog.

I’m thankful to be married to someone who loves to travel as much as me! Instead of a super fancy wedding with a wedding planner, we planned a lot of it ourselves and had a more basic (but still amazing) wedding. Instead, we used that money to go on an amazing honeymoon!!! We spent two and a half weeks and went from Hong Kong to Singapore. . . . In Vietnam we stopped in Da Nang, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City. We loved wandering the streets of Ho Chi Minh and eating tons of Pho. Da Nang was also cool for me because it’s where my dad was stationed during the Vietnam war! Anyone else go on an epic honeymoon or are planning one? . . . #travelvietnam #visitvietnam #southeastasiatrip #southeastasiavacation #visithochiminhcity #ig_vietnam #foreverhoneymooning #honeymoondestination #honeymooncruise #honeymoontrip #roamfromhome #virtualtravel #travelwhensafe #travelingteacher #teacherlife #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #wanderingwomen #girlsvsglobe #girldiscoverers #gltlove #globe_travel #ladieslovetravel #globelletravel #sheisnotlost #travelgirls #girltribe #traveldreamseekers #realtravelseekers #traveltribe (at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTlOZ0Al8C/?igshid=1kvs4bmvecjun

Opera House. Its official name is the Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City. However, everyone knows it as Saigon Municipal Opera House. Within the vicinity of the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office, this is another fine example of French colonial architecture that is so prevalent in Vietnam. This 500-seat opera was built in 1897 by Eugène Ferret as the Opera de Saigon. However, from 1956 right until the city’s liberation in 1975, it housed the Lower House assembly of South Vietnam. It was finally restored to its former glory in 1995. Today, it is the main venue for high-profile and cultural events. On an interesting note, the building was set two meters above street level to avoid any traffic noise from disturbing performances. Have you been here? What are your impressions? . . .
