Go BackThe 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.
