Ho Chi Minh City Hall, officially called the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council and People's Committee Head Office (Vietnamese: Trụ sở Hội đồng Nhân dân và Ủy ban Nhân dân Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh), is the city hall of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City downtown, bounded by Pasteur, Lý Tự Trọng, Đồng Khởi, and Lê Thánh Tôn streets, with its front facade facing Nguyễn Huệ Boulevard square. The building houses the office of the city's Chairman of the People's Committee, Ho Chi Minh City People's Council and various city government departments including Transportation, Natural Resources & Environment, Industry & Trade and Home Affairs within the block.[1]
The building served as an administrative house for past governments during French colonial period and Vietnam War. Ho Chi Minh City Hall is now Vietnam's National Heritage Site and is open for public at the last weekend of a month.[2]
