After 50 years of liberation and development, Ho Chi Minh City is one of the attractive destinations for domestic and foreign tourists because of its architectural works associated with historical events of the country such as: Independence Palace, City Post Office, Ba Son Bridge, Ben Thanh Market... and modern, unique symbols, with aspirations to rise up such as: Landmark 81 building, Bitexco building, Metro line No. 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien...

Da Nang Weekend invites readers to explore the city named after Uncle Ho through emotional images by photographer Cao Ky Nhan (Ho Chi Minh City).

The Independence Palace, also known as the Reunification Hall, marks the moment of complete liberation of the South, national reunification, and is a historical symbol of national peace.

Bitexco Building is 270m high, 68 floors, has a helipad and is a unique symbol with the image of a lotus bud reaching up to the sky.

Metro Line No. 1 Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien is nearly 20km long, with 3 underground stations and 11 elevated stations, and is a symbol of the city's aspiration to grow.

Ben Thanh Market was built in 1912, has 4 main gates and 12 side gates, creating an impressive image of a clock at the South gate, and is a favorite destination for tourists.

The city post office stands out with its Western architecture over 130 years with its classical beauty designed by architect Gustave Eiffel, who designed world-famous structures such as the Eiffel Tower (Paris) and the Statue of Liberty (New York).

Ba Son Bridge bears a historical mark with a modern, unique appearance because the bridge's name reminds of the glorious tradition of the Vietnamese working class, including the saying of President Ton Duc Thang: "The happiest thing in my life is working as a Ba Son worker and participating in revolutionary activities".
