Street Names in Saigon before 1975 was Scientific and Educational

Via Trân Trần

 

TRANSLATION


The naming of roads in Saigon before 1975 was very, very meaningful. People walk from the gateway to the center of Saigon, if you notice you will see a civilized 4000 years of Vietnamese history on every step.
 
Starting from the Western Bus Station, there will be Hong Bang, An Duong Vuong, Trieu Da ... Ba Trieu ... then Ly Nam De, Trieu Quang Phuc ... Next are Mai Hac De, Phung Hung, Ngo Quyen and Dinh Bo. L ... Chieu Hoang. Tran Nhan Tong, Tran Hung Dao and other generals Pham Ngu Lao, Tran Khanh Du ...
 
+ River wharves include Van Kiep, Ham Tu ... The largest port is named Bach Dang ...
 
+ As close as near the center, as close as the current Le Loi, Le Lai, Nguyen Trai ... then the Nguyen more centers as close as Nguyen Hoang, Minh Mang, Tu Duc and other generals as Vo Tanh, Le Van Duyet ...
 
+ Deviate to the north of the central area (District 3), there are Tay Son dynasties and writers, poets and students: Ba Huyen Thanh Quan, Ho Xuan Huong ... together with Tay Son martial arts: Bui Thi Xuan, Tran Quang Dieu ...
 
It must be said that a person who goes from the bus station to the center of the city and observes the name of the street is very easy to imagine themselves in any part of the city.
 
Best of all is the flow of 4000 years of history, all focused on a boulevard named Thong Nhat, beautiful and wide with vast square leading directly to the highest authority of the time (before 1975) DINH INDEPENDENCE.
 
The road is less than one way, running across the Court and the main gate of the Palace named Cong Ly (Justice can not be 2 way!). Two roads parallel to Dai Nhu Thong Nhat are named after two famous people who created the script of Vietnam Han Thuyen and Alexandre de Rhodes with the implication of deep gratitude ...
