Hi @DanniS , the architecture is old and it’s not typical architecture in VN, there’re just some of the buildings have this architecture. Most of my photos were taken by mobile, so thankful for the link you shared.

Vietnam has many beautiful places that you should visit once in your life, one of the places I recommend is Old Town Hoi An, you can find its detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%E1%BB%99i_An
