The Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office are two of the most gorgeous buildings in downtown Ho Chi Minh City.  Both buildings were constructed in the late 1800s and act as a great reminder of the French colonial times.

We didn’t enter the Cathedral but the post office doors were wide open and the building was very inviting.  Once inside, we discovered that the inside was crowded with shops and basically turned into a market.
