Doan Van Bo

This street is in D4. It strikes me everytime I ride past as one of the most impressive in the city. There are a number of reasons. Firstly, it is unusual in that this section of the road (the upper section which leads to the canal sperating D1 and D4) is quiet. Many roads are as wide but this one has very little traffic -- given it's location it is almost a cul-de-sac that the flow of bikes have forgotten or have little need for. The width of the road and the small amount of traffic make it seem, in HCM City terms, deserted. Add to this the buildings -- it's rare to see so many 4/5 storey buildings next to each other like this. I passed at the wrong time of day for the picture as the sun had gone down too much. In the afternoon, the sunlight glints off those windows creating an atmospheric Saigon street scene. For a better view of the picture try looking here.
