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 hugging the mountainside.

Over the years, Saigon and Vung Tau have taken on a completely new look. Let's look back at pictures from nearly half a century ago to see how quickly Saigon and Vung Tau have changed.
