I have taken the photo below in a museum in Saigon district of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The photo is an aerial panaroma of Saigon Center and Saigon River taken in 1955 a year after Geneva Conference. To make life easier for you to locate where is where in Saigon, I have tagged several 4 places on the photo: Notre Dame Cathedral, old Independence Palace destroyed during an assassination attempt to president by war planes, Ben Thanh Market and Ho Chi Minh City Hall (I guess).
(A) - Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica
(B) - Independence Palace (Destroyed in 1962 and replaced by the current Reunification Palace)
(C) - Ben Thanh Market
(D) - Ho Chi Minh City Hall
