BackHeritage » Saigon » Old Saigon Picture of the Day: Saigon Railroad Building

Not too long ago, the park across from Ben Thanh Market was the location of the city's main train station.

Even though the station moved to District 3 following the American War, remnants of the old station, such as the the former Vietnam Railways headquarters seen above, still remain.

Personally, due to aesthetics and geography, this is one of our favorite colonial buildings in Saigon.

Hopefully, one day it will be restored to its former glory.
