So with over 300 years of Saigon Vietnam - Gia Dinh established administrative system, compared with more than 3000 years this area of human traces in the oldest, 35 years I lived in Saigon just blinked!Blink youth over age fall, looking back over the years seemed suddenly realized that I not once say love with this city, where he spent his term in May, and perhaps even life.Many people have loved, loved Saigon. Maybe for them it is home to the burial place each cut the cord, where they have to leave home to earn a living and are widely shared Saigon.
May be the pain left his first love connection separation, where they abandoned the hope one day that always come back ...But many people also love Saigon is hard to express in words, not reasonable for Saigon as a sweet beautiful girl, lovely feminine affection puts people to then say with his love?Saigon offers the look of modern girls, dynamic and simple, a beautiful but shy people often want to speak love ... Many years ago I, too, remember the city desperately beautiful calm would heart of childhood, so that one day I realized my revenues fell in love with Saigon Vietnam when unknown ...My impression is first met bustling Saigon River water filled with large large ship Nguyen Hue Boulevard adjacent to the most beautiful Saigon. Wandering the streets are always crowded, towering green trees in the sunshine, sunny girls riding white mini dress long flight in a little cool sea breeze.The luxury villa is discreetly hidden behind a barrier of trees, the temple bright lime colored lights ... So with Hanoi or Saigon Hue seems to lack the deposition of "soul mountain river thousands of years" because it style is modern European city - the United States. But Saigon offers a unique shape urban south "wharf boat".Originally, the assumptions used and the angle of the Saigon River Thi Nghe River.Extending a few kilometers south-west, is Cholon, the city of most of the U.S., are another moaned the junction of interlaced canals, connected by canals of the Saigon River, also known as Tau Hu, Ben Nghe canal .Referring to Saigon just two people to remember the fair and famous Ben Thanh market - urban river's most important trade in Gia Dinh, and Cho Lon - the largest trading hub in Cochin.Ben Nghe canal or Tofu canal linking the central area of the city. Home Theater is located in the center top, between the Presidential Palace for nearly Zoo. From all that dip gently to the surrounding canals and Saigon River.
West of Saigon Vietnam then connect to the garden last field Cholon, the area has many canals flowing into or Tau Hu, Ben Nghe Business, economic times. Rivers is typical of the way Saigon - Cho Lon with the East, South West. Nha junction where the Dong Nai River along the Saigon River meet the sea in Can Gio - a gateway to reach the sea east of Saigon.Phase formation Ben Nghe - Saigon is the period of rapid settlement of people from different communities, many derived here. The process of reclaiming up villages, agricultural development, industrial, commercial ... save the people have maintained the traditions, customs, beliefs and religion of the home in emotional support to new land .Houses, pagodas, temples and shrines, clubs ... built in about 300 years to show the diversity and convergence of the cultural communities and spiritual activities of the Vietnamese, the Hoa, Khmer, Cham.Like many Southeast Asian countries, colonial architecture late 19th century the first half of the 20th century has left Saigon many architectural heritage of high artistic value. Furthermore this work also shows the important position of Saigon in each historical period.The architectural heritage in the overall planning of urban Saigon from a political - military into a commercial port, the central administrative, economic, cultural.The path taken across the Saigon River divides the city as a standard in the boxes.On the main road is the office, downtown, the hotel restaurant ...The small street is the residence of the official's staff, the villa lovely beauty of classical architecture in Europe, but close and have become familiar to Saigon, then the rows of terraced houses, and deeper in the neighborhood alley "home leaves" of employees ...Every few squares have a church-centered spiritual activities.We can see three vertices of the triangle is the center of the city three churches: Our Lady - Tan Dinh District - Si (District 1, District 3 today). This is the third highest regional topography of the city, so the church building in this location is a great combination between architectural form and function of religious architecture.
The architectural work or religious factors in addition harmonized, consistent with the natural landscape, consistent with planned streets, consistent with the performance of the work there is a notable feature many of the decorative art has elements of Vietnamese, Cham, Khmer ...The combination of structural, architectural styles, building materials, decorative threads, between the West and the East - native and foreign born, making the buildings in Saigon the French have a architectural style is quite special, called architectural styles DONGDUONG, showing the trend of "neo culture" of Western urban architecture during the late 19th - early 20th century in many European countries Asia.So far the elements of planning, architectural features, decorative ... of these buildingsstill be considered "standard" for the planning - building a big city.
