Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The former embassy is now the U.S. consulate and it's not the site of the iconic helicopter evacuation photo. To visit that site, you need to go to 22 Lý Tự Trọng, which during the war was an CIA safe house and the Pittman apartments, and hope that you have an amenable security guard. The security guard I met wanted 100,000 VND, about $4, to let me have a look at the rooftop evacuation area, which is now the site of a defunct rooftop bar. Well worth the visit though.

Unfortunately the former CIA building is no longer accessible - the security guard would not allow access under any circumstances!

Thank you to everyone working at the U.S. Consulate of Ho Chi Minh City. I came in on January 30th, 2020 to get an; invitation letter, income statement, and copy of passport & copy of Drivers License Notarized for a friend who I invited to visit me in New York City. Thank you to Mr. Cullop for your notary, kindness, and direction in getting notary to be valid in Vietnam. Thank you for everyone else who helped me at the Consulate. I was in a rush because I had to catch a flight to South Korea two days later, and the Consulate was so helpful and made things easy. My friend who I invited visited me in New York City March 4th-13th and returned to Vietnam on March 15th, 2020 We were able to do all tourist attractions before COVID19 put the world on pause. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I have seen many reviews that are not as kind as mine and my advice to anyone applying for visa. BE PREPARED, follow the guidelines and processes laid out by the Consulate because they are fair and professional. Thank you to everyone, including Security. Please stay safe and I wish you all the best of health and prosperity. -Trent Petersen

We loved visiting the former Embassy. It is one of the most fascinating buildings on the planet, largely due to its history. Built in 1963 after the coup d'etat and torching of its predecessor, its architecture reflects the exigencies Cold War paranoia and that particular historical moment nad time of confusion for the american Imperium. The elevators seemed to be straight out of "Get Smart"; thick, lead-lined reinforced doors et al. I kept looking around for Max, 99, the Chief and Larrabee! The shop here was also excellent and reasonably-priced with very friendly and pleasant staff.

Not much to see here - just a wall like with other US embassies and consulates around the world. Not all that much history here either as the real action was elsewhere during the war and as Saigon fell.

"It’s one of the iconic images of the Vietnam War. Hubert van Es’ snapshot shows a military helicopter perched atop the US Embassy in Saigon as Americans stream up a stairway, desperately boarding the last flight out.
Except that isn’t a military helicopter, that’s not the US Embassy, those aren’t Americans and that wasn’t the last flight out.
And, perhaps most surprising of all, the photo is not about defeat.
“As I was researching it, I found that almost everything I had assumed about that photo was wrong,” historian and author Thurston Clarke tells The Post."

...about a dozen times and always thought about visiting this place. Finally made it. Never realized it was so close to the center of everything for tourists: cathedral, post office, Vincom. Good piece of history to see up close and personal to think about. I had to pay ₫100000 (about $4) to go upstairs. Now I see in other reviews people paid less. The place is ignored by everyone except tourists and the old security guard who took the money. The roof 's tore-up, and the security guard didn't come with me so I could climb around and fall and almost kill myself on slippery loose tiles. One can't take that same picture from the same angle again unless you go upstairs in the Vincom building and do it from a window. Good luck with that. Vincom security guards were on me when I tried.

For me this was fascinating to visit as I am very much interested in history. To be able to stand at the same spot of that famous photograph and imagine the scene as it was with all the emotion of the people involved was very evocative.
It was easy to find per the pictures and instructions in this thread and a tip to the guard secured entry.
I was surprised the building is still standing and would recommend a visit soon as I'm sure, given development in Ho Chi Minh, that it is only a matter of time before the site is redeveloped and will be lost forever.

This is not the former US embassy building. It is the building used by the CIA and from whose roof top US helicopters flew out as the city was falling to the North Vietnamese.
I just saw it from the square of the Cathedral (a short distance away) and images came to my mind of the photos showing US personnel and civilians scrambling up the roof to the helicopters.
History was being made here!

Not the actual former US Embassy but the location for the Iconic photo taken of the helicopter taking the final Americans away during the fall of Saigon. Easy to find if you want to go up and see it, was here last week just give the security guard a little tip to let you up (50,000 VD, about £1.67). Directly opposite the H&M side of the Vincom Centre, there’s a pathway inbetween the shops (highlighted in pictures) etc, not far from the cathedral and Ho Chi Minh city hall.
