The exhibition, titled “Saigon, Gia Dinh, Ho Chi Minh City: An Epic and Aspirations in an Era of Advancement,” is open from June 29 to July 11 at Chi Lang Park in Sai Gon Ward. It presents archival photographs documenting the city’s history, from the First Indochina War and the Vietnam War to national reunification and its rise as a modern metropolis.

A key highlight is the historic moment at 11:30 a.m. on April 30, 1975, when tanks from the 203rd Armored Brigade entered the Independence Palace, ending the Ho Chi Minh Campaign and marking Vietnam’s reunification.
