The Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh is a beautifully preserved remnant of French colonial times and perhaps the grandest post office in all of Southeast Asia. Located next door to Notre Dame Cathedral, the two cultural sites can be visited together and offers visitors a chance to imagine life in Vietnam during the times of the Indochinese Empire. The building was designed by Alfred Foulhoux and features arched windows and wooden shutters, just as it would have in its heyday in the late 19th Century.

| Saigon sketchers taken photo in front of the Saigon Central Post Office. |
"It’s District 1, the center of Saigon. Full of ancient Indochina
architectures, like the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. You
can sketch wide or close. Either way are lovely. I often go sketching here with
my international friends. Sometime, i try to explore a different style to
revive myself and my drawings."
