--------------------
Saigon is now on the way to regain its heyday when it was known as important trading centre for Chinese, Japanese, and Western merchants and was then praised as the "Pearl of the Far East". This process can be seen by ever fast changing life of the city in which the number of large hotels and office buildings as well as other businesses is multiplying. However, Saigon still has much more to offer with pagodas and temples such as Giac Lam Pagoda dating from 1744, Giac Vien pagoda founded about 200 years ago. In the heart of the city, Notre Dame Cathedral, built between 1877 and 1883 is one of the famous French-era churches around Saigon.
Visitors will enjoy shopping in Saigon as the city has many shops which have an abundance of diversified souvenirs from hand painted silk pictures and greeting cards, embroidered clothing articles, woodcarvings, lacquerware items, and many many more...
