57 places found.

  1. Vietnam Memorial

    The Vietnam Memorial is a tribute to the American Soldiers who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. This sunken black granite monument was not well recieved when it was originally proposed as many people felt that it would be a dark hole in the capitol mall and would not honor the dead.

  2. War Memorials of the Falklands

    Two War Memorials and the Christ Church Cathedral (1892) hold honored places along the main street--Ross Road, in Stanley on the Falkland Islands. The 1914 Battle Memorial is an imposing monument as is the 1982 War Memorial designed by a Falklander and built by volunteers.

  3. Memorial to The Unknown Mason

    A found construction with no known name or history. Real interesting location under the freeway and next to a railway.

  4. Reunification Palace

    The Reunification Palace in central Saigon has a long and checkered history, but is best known as the place where North Vietnamese tanks charged in to end the Vietnam War in 1975.

  5. Saigon Phu Quoc Resort and Spa

    Saigon Phu Quoc Resort and Spa is one of the top places to stay on pretty little Phu Quoc Island. It offers everything that you'd expect from a tropical resort: Comfortable bungalows, swishing palm trees, a great beach, poolside and beachside bars, several restaurants and ever-smiling staff.

  6. Pho 24

    Pho 24 is a Vietnamese chain restaurant found from Hanoi to Saigon. If you want a good beef noodle soup without the worries of ordering on the street - this is a surefire bet.

  7. Perfume River

  8. Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Building

    The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Building is a popular landmark in central Saigon. It is built in the likeness of Paris' Hotel de Ville.

  9. Red Bridge Cooking School

    There are many places that offered Vietnamese cooking lessons but the Red Bridge Cooking School had received rave reviews - now I know why. The $18 class included a wet market tour, a 25-minute boat ride on the Hoi An River to the river-side school, leaning how to prepare a complete meal including food decorations...

  10. Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum

    The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is the revered final resting place of Uncle Ho. Supposedly shaped like a lotus, the building is decidedly more blocky than it is flowery - and it sits on the edge of large, desolate Ba Dinh Square.
