SAIGON OPERA HOUSE- A SYMBOL OF ARTISTIC DREAM

The Saigon Opera House with a history of hundreds of years of development is considered the "cradle of art" in the locality. The building is a fine example of palatial French architecture. With the surrounding green color and the wide boulevard, the Saigon Opera House has a strange European style. The blending of East-West culture and wonderful layers of meaning makes the Saigon Opera House, not just a simple architecture. The Saigon Opera House is as beautiful as a picture of an artistic dream.
