The Reunification Palace, known as Independence Palace, designed by architect Ngo Viet Thu, was completed in 1966. From 1967 to 1975, it served as the residence and headquarters of General Nguyen Van Thieu, who led the National Leadership Committee during that period.

However, in 1975, the course of history changed dramatically when a North Vietnamese tank crashed through the palace gates, marking the pivotal moment that led to the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. This event ultimately paved the way for Vietnam’s complete freedom.

Today, the Reunification Palace is one of the most prominent tourist attractions in Ho Chi Minh City. Here, you can explore grand halls, presidential rooms, and underground bunkers.

The Opera House, the Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City, can accommodate 500 spectators. You can only experience the interior of the Opera House by attending one of the shows. Constructed in 1898, the building reflects the French colonial architectural style and was designed by Eugene Ferret.

It is often regarded as the smaller counterpart of the Hanoi Opera House and resembles the Opéra Garnier in Paris.

Today, the Opera House serves as the A O Show Saigon venue. This extravagant performance seamlessly blends traditional Vietnamese music and dance with the captivating style of Cirque du Soleil.
