Walking to take a closer look at one of the city's oldest cathedrals. 

 

Typically, Cha Tam Cathedral is located in the Chinese community, bearing Chinese architecture, and is a tourist attraction in Saigon that attracts the attention of many young people and tourists.

The deeper you go into the interior of the church, the more pronounced the European Gothic style becomes. The blend of Asian and European architecture creates a unique feature for this ancient cathedral.

In addition, there are a few things to keep in mind when visiting a church, like dressing formally, keeping your distance, and never climbing on the pews or touching any of the artwork. You should also try to keep your voice down when inside the church, especially when Mass is being held.

Besides, if you have the chance, you can combine visiting other famous cathedrals in Saigon such as Cho Quan cathedral, Tan Dinh cathedral, Notre Dame cathedral, and Huyen Si cathedral,...
