Its elegant façade, adorned with intricate carvings and statues, draws visitors into a world of artistic splendor. Inside, the opulent interior, featuring grand staircases, chandeliers, and plush seating, provides an ideal setting for a variety of performances, from classical concerts and ballets to modern theatrical productions. The Saigon Opera House not only serves as a cultural hub but also as a historical landmark, offering a glimpse into the city's colonial past while celebrating its contemporary artistic spirit.

    The lacquer itself is actually the resin of a tree which is mixed with coloured pigments and solvents and applied layer after layer to the object's surface, producing a shiny and durable finish. Other substances, such as eggshell and gold leaf, may be applied to the surface before the lacquer is applied, in which case the finished product is sanded down to reveal the decoration beneath. The high quality of resin from Vietnamese lacquer trees, notably those of Phú Thọ in the north, was a crucial factor in the rapid development of this art form, which became very popular at the court of Đại Việt during the feudal period. Decorated lacquer statues, panels, boxes and trays, some dating back to the Lê era (1428-1527), may still be seen at many temples and pagodas throughout the country.
    The place we visit is run by local governments to help handicaps, who are victims from Vietnam War, have job to serve their own life.
