Visit the Thien Hau Temple, dedicated to the Goddess Protector of Sailors, which dates from the late 18th century, and Notre Dame Cathedral, a neo-classical structure whose imposing twin spires have long been the landmark that heralded the arrival of passenger liners that traveled the winding Saigon River.
