The time for reopening the site to visitors was not disclosed. During the 2025 New Year holiday, the City Hall welcomed nearly 2,000 domestic and international visitors.
Tours of the office building of the People's Council and People's Committee are a distinctive new tourism product, making cultural heritage more approachable.
The tour product is also a highlight in the city’s tourism promotion campaign 'Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City' after the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing to developing the friendly, open, and approachable Ho Chi Minh City administration.
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Headquarters was designed by French architect Femand Gardès and built from 1898 to 1909. The building was modeled after the Paris City Hall in the Renaissance style. Since 1975, it has been used as the headquarters of the municipal People's Committee.
