Notre Dame Cathedral seems not as popular as the Pink Church now, but I still think it is the landmark of Saigon and the most beautiful church in Saigon. Not only because of the beautiful dome and exquisite stained glass window decorations inside, but more importantly, the statue of Our Lady outside the cathedral. Our Lady is sacred and noble, with a firm gaze like a torch, which is unforgettable.

When you come to Saigon, you must go to the Red Church to see it, probably because of the French colonial relationship, Catholicism is very prevalent in Vietnam, almost every city has a famous church, and the Red Church is Saigon's most famous landmark building, typical Gothic architecture. The Red Church is modeled on the design of the bell tower of Notre Dame, in a well-shaped and majestic shape, with an open lawn in front of the church, and occasionally a few pigeons stop to rest and forage. The red church is full of red color. It is said that the red bricks that built the church have all been shipped from France. Over a hundred years ago, the color is still bright and unfading. From a distance, there is a feeling of being in Europe. The interior of the church is solemn, and the interior decoration of the church is also more traditional Catholic church style. The high-rise dome makes people feel awe of the Father in it. All the glass is colored glass, which is spelled into the story of the Bible and is worth savoring.

Perhaps because of French colonial relations, Catholicism seems to be very prevalent in Vietnam, each city has a famous Catholic church, and the most famous Catholic church in Vietnam is out of Hanoi, the other is Ho Chi Minh. Ho Chi Minh's Notre Dame Church, built about 150 years ago, is the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City. The whole church is a typical Gothic building, and all raw materials are said to be sourced from France, and because the entire traffic is made of red brick, it is also known as the Red Church. It is also a must-see attraction in Ho Chi Minh City. From the Unification Palace, you can see this church about 900 meters along Nguyen Du Road, which is very eye-catching. The church is open to the public and does not charge tickets. The time is 8 am to 11 am and 15 pm to 16 pm. Mass is held every day at 5:30, 17:00, Sundays at 5:30, 6:30, 9:30, 16:00, 17:15, 18:30. If you are religious, you can follow the Mass. A mass is about 1.5 an hour or so. Vietnamese tourism is really a "leisure". Don't be too rushed. It is completely no problem to set aside this hour and a half. During the mass, personal advice is not to take pictures again. After the mass, you can take a good shot. The interior decoration of the church is also more traditional Catholic church style, the high dome, let people in it have a sense of awe of the Father, all the glass is colored glass, spelled into the story of the Bible, it is worth savoring. In addition, just ahead of the church, there is a statue of the Virgin Mary, which was given by the Roman Church in 1945. So it is the most complete to take a picture of the whole church before stepping back to the Virgin Mary. However, because it is a popular tourist spot, there are often many buses and minibuses parked in front of the church, which is very eye-catching. It is very eye-catching. It is necessary to take clean photos. In addition to waiting, there is really no other way to seize the opportunity. Next to the church is the Central Post Office, and these two attractions can be connected to play together.

Built in 1877 during French colonial period, the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin of Ho Chi Minh City was dubbed the "Red Church" because of its use of red bricks, and it is the most famous landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. The church is well-balanced (recognized to be the shape of Notre Dame's bell tower), majestic and magnificent, with two 40-meter tower spires towering straight into the clouds. All the red bricks that were built in France have not faded (red bricks are directly revealed). In front of the church's garden square stands a 4-ton statue of the Virgin Mary, which was given to the Roman Church in 1945. This Catholic church is still in use today, and many devout churches gather for mass on religious holidays and Sundays. There are lots of interesting graffiti on the exterior walls, but unfortunately we don't have the smear fluid, we can only look at other people's little secrets. Tickets: Free opening hours: weekdays 8:00-11:00, 15:00-16:00tips: In addition to mass and noon rest time, everyone can freely visit the interior of the church. It is recommended to stand at the central post office next door or the Diamond Square at the back door to take a panoramic view of the church.

The window of the shrine was beautiful and the atmosphere was solemn and calm. The sculptures and decorations were not the same, and they were perfect in change.
