Things you should not miss when visiting the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Art

Previously, this museum building was the residence of Mr. Hua Bon Hoa - a famous Chinese businessman who was the richest man in Saigon. He owns many famous architectural works such as Tu Du Hospital, Majestic Hotel, and Saigon Emergency Center...

In 1929, he asked the French architect Rivera to design the building with the perfect combination of European architecture (France) with Asian architecture (China).
In 1934, the building was officially completed
In 1987, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts was established in this very building
In 1992, the museum officially went into operation due to the lack of many artifacts before

Since then, the museum has become a place to store and display many famous works of art, from antiques of great historical value to sculptures and paintings...

The main distinction between Nam Bo beef noodle soup and fried beef noodle soup lies in the choice of meat used as the key ingredient. In the case of fried pork vermicelli, pork is the meat of choice, whereas southern beef noodle soup features beef. Additionally, the taste of the fish sauce used in each dish is tailored to suit the preferences of the respective regions, adding a distinctive element to the overall flavor profile of each dish.

During Tet Doan Ngo, Vietnamese people typically eat Banh U and Com Ruou 1. Banh U is a pyramidal-shaped sticky rice cake wrapped in banana leaves and stuffed with beans and banana leaves' essence, creating its dominant flavor. Com Ruou is glutinous rice soaked in wine and then mixed with other ingredients like ginger, sesame, and peanuts 1. Another traditional dish eaten during Tet Doan Ngo is duck meat, which is believed to help cool down the body from the forceful yang energy 2. Che Troi Nuoc, a sweet soup made from glutinous rice, is also a popular dish believed to kill insects and is commonly eaten during the festival 2.

Lam Car, also known as the Lam Auto Rickshaw, was a popular mode of transportation in old Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These three-wheeled vehicles were a common sight on the city's streets in the 1960s and 1970s, providing a convenient and affordable way for locals and visitors to get around.

Lam Car drivers were known for their skillful navigation of Saigon's busy streets, weaving through traffic and taking passengers to their destinations with ease. Today, the Lam Car is remembered as an iconic symbol of Saigon's past, and its legacy lives on through the memories of those who rode in these unique vehicles.

These photos remind me so much of my childhood, as they drove me through the roller coaster of Nostalgia. Thinking that I have grown up and matured upon this artifact of the past, does help me to unite myself to that authentic self and gives me a sense of who I want to be down the road in the future...

The bridge overlooks one of the trade gateways of Saigon with neighboring provinces, especially the southwestern provinces.

According to the flow of time, Binh D**g Wharf still retains the cultural beauty imbued with its own traditional values in the heart of modern Saigon. Today, there are still rows of old houses built in the 20th century in the style of adjacent townhouses, two stories high, with tiled roofs. Although it has been restored a lot, in general, the architecture of the old Binh D**g Wharf is still bold. The marina opposite the old houses is no longer as busy as before, but it is still a place to anchor and trade many boats from far away to Saigon.

At Binh D**g Wharf, Ward 14, District 8. This beautiful scenery creates a different, simple, simple but sophisticated space.

Ben Thanh Market, the largest tourist center in ancient Indochina

Ben Thanh Market is now located in the center of District 1, in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with a total area of 13,056 square meters. In, there are 5,276 square meters for business, 6,116m of walkways, and 1,664m of corridors, offices, and toilets.

The market operates from 4 to 19 pm (after that, there is a night market on both sides of the market). Every year, there are only lunch breaks on the 30th and 1st of the Tet Holiday, sold again at 4am on the 2nd of Tet. There is no resting when it comes to business!

When it first opened in 1914, Ben Thanh market had 400 stalls of agricultural products and food, mainly produced and sold by farmers. Today, the number of stalls of small businesses has reached nearly 1,500 stalls.

The small traders in Ben Thanh market today no longer carry the image of industrious, hard-working women like before, but are all real businessmen.

They are young, beautiful, fashionable, and especially speak foreign languages fluently, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German... and even Cambodian.

The story of sellers speaking two or three foreign languages fluently is not new in the Ben Thanh market. According to an employee of the market management board, up to 80-90% of the sales staff of the stalls of clothing, cosmetics, brocade, souvenirs... can speak at least two foreign languages.

Therefore, Visitors can expect to encounter friendly and enthusiastic vendors who are eager to share their wares and culture with others. The market is a melting pot of different cultures, and visitors can expect to see a mix of traditional Vietnamese clothing and modern Western styles. Overall, the people at Ben Thanh Market contribute to the lively and vibrant atmosphere that makes it such a popular destination.

Cai Luong: The Evolving Art Form of Vietnamese Reformed Theater

1. Cai luong performances were banned in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War because they were seen as being too closely associated with the South Vietnamese government.

2. In the 1950s and 1960s, Cai Luong was the most popular form of entertainment in Southern Vietnam, with performances taking place in theaters, on the radio, and on television.

3. Cai Luong has been adapted to include modern themes and issues, such as environmentalism and social justice, to appeal to younger audiences.

10/05/2023

Saigon's inaugural logo was introduced by France in 1870 after the Nguyen court's allocation of the Luc Nam Ky province, comprises several significant multilayer meanings:

📌 The Double Tiger symbolizes the untamed nature of the land, as the South was still home to many ferocious tigers.

📌 The Latin phrase "Paulatim Crescam" meaning "Slowly, I will grow" was incorporated to signify the region's gradual development.

📌 The Steam Train depicted in the center of the logo was used to suggest that Saigon was a river region with multiple canals, and transportation primarily relied on boats.

📌 The Five-Pointed Crown was utilized to convey the French colonialists' objective of transforming Saigon into a gem of the Far East, a hub of trade connecting five continents and four seas.

While the logo may appear convoluted and intricate, it reflects the conditions prevalent in Saigon during that era, as well as the French's goal of "Civilizing" Annam.
