Saigon was once known as the "Pearl of the Far East" and is currently the largest city in the country. Vung Tau is now famous as a beautiful and modern coastal city in the South, with a long coastline embracing the mountain slopes.

Over the years, Saigon and Vung Tau have donned a completely different look. Let's look back at images from nearly half a century ago to see just how rapidly Saigon and Vung Tau have transformed.
