Thanh Da Union School
Surely, you have heard someone talk about Thanh Da – Binh Quoi peninsula, a fertile land that was once bustling, the most important arterial road in the past, but is now forgotten because of this outside world. So, what is special about this land?Thanh Da Residence has existed for nearly 50 years, including 8 numbered apartments and 15 lettered apartments, a heritage of Saigon associated with the ups and downs of history. SFP chose to connect this journey to share the values of Saigon, old yet beautiful and sincere. This trip is beyond reality and time where we can retrace the path of people who once walked, breathe the air they once breathed, and most of all, talk to them, not just through words but also through each staircase, hallway, fields, tree tops, and wind…
