The old Saigon - the present Ho Chi Minh City is still the largest urban area in the country. In the process of building the city, the period 1862-1945 was the stage of formation and completion of a modern and forward city, different from the previous Asian feudal urban model. Works such as Notre Dame Cathedral, City Theater, Ben Thanh Market, Binh Tay Market, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Reunification Palace, Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, Majestic Hotel, Continental Hotel or ancient villas built from the French era to this day are still invaluable assets of Saigon and the whole S-shaped country. That name also follows merchants spread around the world. Today, these works have also become a symbol of Ho Chi Minh City.
