Notre Dame, Saigon - 16 Feb 2014 (Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica)

To those who love arts, and wihout boundaries, here is an architectural art for you.

With France influence, this cartheral is very popular among tourist.

"Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica (Vietnamese: Vương cung thánh đường Đức Bà Sài Gòn or Nhà thờ Đức Bà Sài Gòn, French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon), officially Basilica of Our Lady of The Immaculate Conception (Vietnamese: Vương cung thánh đường Chính tòa Đức Mẹ Vô nhiễm Nguyên tội) is a cathedral located in the downtown of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Established by French colonists, the cathedral was constructed between 1863 and 1880. It has two bell towers, reaching a height of 58 meters (190 feet).

This cathedral is one of main attraction to Saigon. Tourist all around the world come here to have a view of this classical French architectural. Besides, this area also famous to the local for photo shooting especially for wedding (I'm not sure either for personal or for magazine).

The location just few minutes walk from Ben Tanh Market. So, have fun... It is located in front of the Saigon Post Office.


This flower is one my favorite picture. I know this flower won't stay long. So I am lucky to have it in full bloom before it is gone.

This building is standing at the middle of the area, which easily can be accessed by road like a round-about.  Almost of the day, the traffic here quite heavy.
