Saigon Presidential Palace - now Reunification Palace Ho Chi Min City

Presidential/Reunification Palace
 
 
 
The Palace gates - famously stormed by North Vietnamese tanks at the end of the Vietnam War

 
 
Outside the palace - note the 60s architecture (of the palace, not me!)
 
Rex Hotel - famous in Vietnam War as location of American military 5pm daily conference (known as '5 o'clock Follies'), US military personnel billet and popular rooftop bar for GIs and war correspondents.
