Ho Chí Minh City People's Committee — Attraction in Ho Chi Minh City

Absolutely love the architecture of this building — it’s a standout masterpiece in the heart of Saigon. With its strong French colonial influence, symmetrical design, and creamy yellow façade, the building is both elegant and historically rich. The fine details across the columns, arches, and rooftop statues are incredibly well preserved and maintained to a high standard.

We’ve visited multiple times and I find myself photographing it every chance I get — whether it’s under the bright midday sun or beautifully lit up after dark. At night, the golden glow from the strategically placed lights makes the whole structure come alive, giving it an almost palace-like presence. It’s easily one of the most photogenic buildings in the city.

There’s a peaceful garden and plaza in front that’s perfect for people-watching or grabbing a photo without the traffic rush. I truly hope one day public tours are available inside — from the outside alone, it’s clear the interior must be equally stunning.
