The cityscape is a kaleidoscope of architectural styles, from French colonial landmarks like the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica of Saigon to the sleek skyscrapers that define the contemporary skyline. Amidst the urban bustle, age-old traditions endure in the labyrinthine alleys of Cholon, the city’s vibrant Chinatown.
