Southern Vietnam is well-known throughout the world for its historical significance. In its capital Ho Chi Minh City, its historical importance can be felt through its architectural treasures, and the landscape is full of majestic and often imposing French colonial buildings.

Looking at these buildings, which have been preserved and are still in use today, made me feel as if the city was trying to tell me of the time when it was the envy of many.
