EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the traditional Vietnamese House, or "Nha Rong," of Phuoc-Kien at the Cholon district of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), during the Paris Exhibition of 1900. The Indochina Pavilion, showcasing the cultural richness of French Vietnam, was a significant attraction at the World's Fair Universelle, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe. The traditional Vietnamese House, with its intricately designed roof and ornate wooden carvings, stands proudly amidst lush greenery, reflecting the unique architectural heritage of Vietnam. The Pagode (Pagoda) of Phuoc-Kien, a symbol of Buddhist faith, can be seen in the background, its red and gold tiled roofs contrasting beautifully with the verdant foliage. The iconic Eiffel Tower peeks into the scene on the left, a reminder of the Exposition's location in Paris, France. The Paris Exhibition of 1900 marked a pivotal moment in the history of Indochina, as it showcased the region's diverse cultures and resources to the world, further solidifying France's colonial influence. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the traditional Vietnamese architecture and the cultural exchange that took place during this era.
