The courtyard outside contains the spoils of war, namely rusting jets, tanks and cannons captured from the American military machine.

The Old Post Office is another example of French colonial architecture and is also the country’s largest post office.

• Cu Chi Tunnels: Watch a short introductory video showing how they were constructed, then spend the next hour exploring the maze of tunnels. Also, on display are various mantraps, the remains of an American tank and numerous bomb craters made by 500 pound bombs dropped by B52 bombers.
