The first visitors to visit the headquarters of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee

At around 8am on April 29, the first group of 30 tourists began to visit the headquarters of the People's Council and People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. The group stopped at the entrance of the over 100-year-old building on Le Thanh Ton Street, listening to the tour guide introduce the history, architecture, and development process through each period for about 10 minutes before going inside.

The building was designed by architect Femand Gardès and built from 1889 to 1909. During the French colonial period, it was called Hôtel de ville or Dinh Xa Tay. In 1954, it was renamed Saigon City Hall and after 1975, it had its current name.

The building was modeled after the Renaissance-style Paris town hall, designed in the form of a tall cast-iron bell tower - a popular architectural style in the North of France. The central part is a high pointed tower, with two symmetrical roofs on both sides.
