* Decoration of Saigon Central Post Office

A beautiful and notable landmark in Ho Chi Minh City for the Sai gon city tour is the Saigon Central Post Office. With its beautiful aesthetics and historical significance, it attracts tourists with its blend of elegant French architecture and artistic Asian elements. It displays the enduring beauty of its unique architectural design as the largest post office in Vietnam and the oldest colonial building in the city.

The Saigon Central Post Office, like other buildings from the French colonial period in Vietnam, has a beautiful facade with yellow walls, arched doors and windows, and decorative reliefs.

At the top of the Saigon Central Post Office, a remarkable feature is the massive clock that has been functioning for over 130 years. Additionally, the building is adorned with rectangular cells that bear the names of renowned scientists and inventors in the telegraph industry, including Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Volta, and Michael Faraday, extending from the center to the sides of the structure.

Inside the Saigon Central Post Office, you will find a large portrait of President Ho Chi Minh, a significant leader of the Vietnamese revolution. The building's interior showcases a beautiful arched roof supported by pillars on either side.

The walls of the Saigon Post Office are covered with two sizable, carefully designed maps. One map shows Saigon and its neighborhoods in 1892, while the other shows the telegraph network in Vietnam and Cambodia in 1936. You can take a moment to unwind on the rows of wooden chairs that are available along the hall after exploring this charming post office.
