A symbol of resilience and renewal, Independence Palace stands on the site where Saigon’s history changed course. Built in the 1960s to replace Norodom Palace (Saigon Governor's Palace), it became the setting of the iconic moment in 1975 when tanks rolled through its gates, marking the reunification of Vietnam. Today, its opulent halls and hidden bunkers preserve the echoes of a defining era, reflecting the city’s enduring strength and forward spirit.
