Wearing the beautiful name “Pearl of the Far East” of a century ago, Ho Chi Minh City has now made spectacular developments, rising to take on the appearance of a modern “super city”.
The Pearl of the Far East (La perle de l’Extrême-Orient) is a beautiful name used by the French colonialists to refer to Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), the capital of the federation of three Indochinese countries that were French colonies in the early 20th century, including Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The main ambition of the French was to create a city that would rival, or even surpass, major cities in the region such as Singapore and Hong Kong (a British colony).
During this period, Saigon, a town in the middle of the forest, was invested in and planned by the French in the Western style. Large constructions were built on beautiful, spacious highlands and facing the winding river (now the Saigon River). A series of outstanding constructions still exist today after more than 100 years, such as Notre Dame Cathedral, City Theater, Governor’s Palace, Governor’s Palace…Let’s explore Ho Chi Minh City tours with 3 days/2 nights.
