Due to its favourable geographical location, topography, and climate, this area rapidly became a converging point for traders from all over the world.  Saigon Port was built in 1862 and foreign traders quickly became familiar with the Ong m Lanh Market, Ray Market, Ben Thanh Market and Saigon Market. For many years, Saigon was praised as the "Pearl of the Far East". Ho Chi Minh City is where the heroic resist ance against aggressors and the struggling process for independence of the Vietnamaso Nation began. It was also where the Ho Chi Minh Campaign triumphantly finished on 30 April 1975. At the first session of the 6th. National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, in July 1976, the name of the city was officially changed to Ho Chi Minh City.

After 1954, Ngo Dinh Diem, South Vietnam's President, and his family lived and worked in Norodom Palace. In 1963, this palace was heavily destroyed by bombs. President Diem commanded the remains to be destroyed and to build a new palace to be called Doc Lap Palace or Independence Palace. The new palace was built on a 120,000m2 area and covered 4,500m2. it included a basement, 3 main floors, 2 mezzanines, one terrace, and one upper floor. There are a total of 95 rooms in the Palace, each decorated according to its function. The Palace also features two exhibition rooms, a 33-room guest house, and numerous entertainment services such as tennis courts and stilt houses. On April 30, 1975, the tanks of the liberation army entered the Independence Palace, and the government, including 45 members and President Duong Van Minh, surrendered without condition. After the liberation, the Independence Palace became the headquarters of the city's military administration committee. The political consultation for national unification was held in this palace which was renamed Thong Nhat Palace or Reunification Palace . Nowadays, Thong Nhat Palace has become a historic, cultural relic attracting domestic as well as international visitors. The Thong Nhat Palace is open from 7.30am to 11am and 1pm to 4pm daily.

The cost for the building at that time was nearly 1 million dong (old currency). In 1944 the House was badly damaged by air raids. Then, it became a temporary residence of the French and of Northerners migrating to Saigon after the signing of the Geneva Agreements in 1954. It was restored in 1665 and made the seat of Saigon Lower Houso of Parliament in 1956. After the liberation of Saigon, it was put under the management of the Artistic Performance Organization Company (Saigon Concert) and became the City's Opera House ever since. A variety of shows and performances are held in the theatre: dancing and singing, spoken drama, circus, and fashion shows. It frequently hosts domestic and overseas professional art troupes. This is also where conferences, seminars and big festivals of the city are held. Investments have been poured into the restoration of the theatre to its original conditions with advanced technique to make it capable of hosting performance of greater national and international dimensions. The theatre features shows nightly from 8pm to 10pm.

At first, the market was situated near the Ben Nghe River Dike. It was a brick market with a wooden frame and thatched roof, which was partly damaged by a fire in 1870.

After being moved many times, it is now standing in the very centre of the city where consumers can conveniently find all sorts of products imaginable. In 1985 the interior as well as the exterior of Ben Thanh Market was completely remodelled except the front with the clock tower, which was kept as it was. Nowadays, the goods in Ben Thanh market are abundant, including almost all-domestic products - especially those from the Mekong Delta - and modern industrial products from other countries.

Cho Lon now covers a vast area from the residential quarters in Districts 5 and 10 to the vicinity of Districts 6 and 11. The Hoa people living there still preserve their age-old cultural, architectural, and religious values. The classical beauty of their architectural style finds expressions in rows of tile-roofed houses, which seem to be caught forever in a brownish gray colour. During daylight, Cho Lon is bustling with sellers and buyers doing their business. Binh Tay Market, one of the most important markets of Ho Chi Minh City, is located inside Cho Lon. It can be said that nothing is not sold there. There are some hotels and restaurants around here. When night falls, Cho Lon seems to rejuvenate. From a distance one can see neon signs of various sizes, shapes and colours. Tourists flock into this area not only for purchasing goods but also tasting the gastronomy of the Hoa. One can enjoy mouth-water-ing dishes as dumplings, boned duck's legs, Duong Chau fried rice, Tu Xuyen tofu and so on. Tourists also have a chance to explore the other side of Cho Lon.
