The People's Committee Building

The People's Committee Building is probably the most iconic landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. It was designed by French architect P. Gardes and completed in 1908.

Originally it housed the Hôtel de Ville, the Saigon City Hall, as is still also known today as the City Hall of Ho Chi Minh City. This was the venue in 1945, that thousands of people gathered to establish the Provisional Administrative Committee of South Vietnam.

The People's Committee Building is at the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, at the intersection of Le Thanh Ton and Nguyen Hue Streets, in District 1 of the city. It has a central clock tower and two wings, one on each side. In the square in front of the building is the statue of Ho Chi Minh cradling a child. You will see many tourists taking photograph here at all times of the day.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
