![[Photos] Then & Now: Images From Old and New Saigon](https://media.urbanistnetwork.com/saigoneer/article-images/legacy/Drz49SQb.jpg)
The southern hub has seen its fair share of transformations over the years. From French colonialism to the swinging 60s, the early days of Doi Moi to 21st-century Vietnam, Saigon’s urban landscape has undergone constant change, and yet the photos below are proof positive that modern-day Saigon is not so far removed from its past.
For a larger collection of old and new images, head over to Saigon-Cho Lon Then & Now, a collaboration between Saigoneer and Historic Vietnam, on Facebook.
