Inside the General Post Office






















With its grand colonial history (Gustav Eiffel was the architect) the General Post Office is among the most visited tourist sites in HCMC. The main hall is quite spectacular and flooded with natural light. The post office is also famous for one of its employees, Dương Văn Ngộ, who has spent the last 60 years helping locals and foreigners alike. You can check out the history of the post office and Ngộ's story here

What a grand hall - so different from the little pole dwellings on Cat Ba Island.

May I say thank you for your holiday series. It was absolutely wonderful.
