We left the War Remnants Museum around 11.00am, we headed our next stop which is the famous Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Probably it is not quite as grand as the Notre Dame de Paris, but nevertheless an important cathedral and landmark in Saigon, the Notre Dame Cathedral marks the center of the French colonial heritage in Saigon.
We just followed the sidewalks of the streets instead of taking a ride. We met a coconut drinks vendor when we on our way, and stopped to ask him the correct direction to there.
He was so friendly, that he offered Alvin to take photo with him. Eventually we bought a coconut drink from the vendor. The weather was so hot.
It did not take us long until we found ourselves at the back of the Cathedral. From far, we can see the famous landmark – the two 40 meter high towers and the red bricks of the Cathedral.
There is a square or a lawn area right in front of the facade of the Cathedral, and there proudly standing, is a stature of the Virgin Mary. There were a lot of tourists in front of the lawn area of the Cathedral.
The cathedral is beautiful, with two 40 meter high towers, and a statue of the Virgin Mary in the front lawn area. We have to go the very front on the road-side, so that we can get a great photo of Virgin Mary with the cathedral in the background.
When we arrived right and noon lunchtime, and the gates were locked. We did not manage to get inside. We just took photo outside the Cathedral.
