Both culturally and architecturally Ho Chi Minh City has been heavily influenced by the period of French colonial rule. Despite the very long struggle for independence the Communist authorities of the unified country have put a lot of effort into preserving the buildings the French left behind when they lost their South East Asian colonies in the period that followed the end of the Second World War. A prime example of this is Saigon Opera House, which had fallen into decay during the period of French rule due to its lack of both customers and performers. Between 1996 and 1998 the city authority undertook a massive restoration project of the opera restoring the exterior and modernising the interior. Other notable buildings from the colonial era include Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral, Saigon Central Post Office, Ben Thanh Market, and Saigon City Hall. The city’s other major tourist attractions include the Reunification Palace, which served as the headquarters of the Government of South Vietnam until the Communist forces of North Vietnam took the city in 1975, and Tao Dan Park, which is the largest park in the city ands full of interesting sculptures and monuments.
