This postcard captures Saigon in the early 1900s, during the height of French colonial rule, at **Quai de Belgique**, the riverfront area now known as **Bến Bạch Đằng**. At the center of the image stands **the old Customs House (La Douane)**, a typical French colonial structure with arched walkways, tall windows, and a tiled roof. This building played a crucial role in the city’s economic life: every shipment arriving by boat on the Saigon River passed through here for inspection and taxation. #saigon #old
