Ho Chi Minh City is a city that retains the remnants of Saigon during the French era, and is sometimes called “Oriental Paris”.
French cafe culture is rooted in every corner of the city.
This time, we would like to introduce “Dong khoi Street,” which is also called the “Champs Elysees Street”, a downtown area since the Saigon era.
Prostyle Hotel Ho Chi Minh is close to Don Koi Street, and you can reach the Opera House in the center of the street in about 5 minutes on foot. (Photo: left)
Until the Opera House was built, it was said that the place where the Caravelle Hotel behind the Opera House was was the theater, suggesting that this area was the original center. (Photo: center left)
Dong Khoi Street is about 1.5 km from the Saigon Cathedral to the Saigon River.
On this street, there are many colonial buildings that were built during the French Indochina period, such as the “Saigon Cathedral,” “Saigon Central Post Office,” and “Opera House,” which were introduced earlier. Branded shops, restaurants, cafes, general stores, and souvenir shops are becoming popular tourist attractions every year.
The number of shops is very large, and if you take a break at a cafe and slowly go around, it will be a course of 3 to 4 hours or more even if you visit Dong Khoi Street.
If you come to Ho Chi Minh City, please be sure to stop by at least once.
