View of the old port of Saigon at the confluence of Saigon River and B?n Nghé Creek, previously known as Arroyo Chinois, as seen from an elevated vantage point. This view looks toward B?n Nhà R?ng or the Dragon House Wharf, the former headquarters of Messageries Impériales, now the Ho Chi Minh Museum. The building's distinctive roof is topped with two dragon sculptures, with the Signal Mast visible across the creek from the building. A man wearing western-style clothing can be seen standing on a grassy area on the lower right area of the image.
