What does Saigon really look like 40 years after the Vietnam War? This is a gallery of people and places around Saigon last week, as the city remembered the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975. There are palaces and museums as well as noodle stalls and cyclos and young dressed-up types on Vespas. I didn’t see any official parades or ceremonies but I did get a little sense of the pulse, look and feel of Saigon today. I hope this gallery conveys some of that to you too.
Rusty Compass listings are always independent. We list the places we think are worth knowing about. Our Featured Listings allow a small selection of businesses already recommended by us, to pay a fee for a place at the top of our list. That’s it. Featured Listings have no impact on reviews, or on the curation and independence of our lists.
