Traipsing the streets of Saigon in search of French Colonial & Contemporary Saigon

Park in front of Reunification Palace. Saigon is a city of greenery. There are many parks in the city. When the sun is up or down the people love to relax or laze aound in park benches or kerb-side or even enjoy the splendour of the grass. The French had left behind an exquisite legacy of tree-lined streets and wide boulevards.
Street-side tailor. One can find many street-side tailors operating along the side-walk in busy streets of Saigon. You don't need to return home or to your hotel room to have a change of clothes. Just get the stitch done there and then!
Street-side barber. Many street-side barbers do a roaring business under the shade of trees along the side-walks. Enjoy city noise, sniff petrol fumes and shower with dust while you relax with a hair cut and shave.
