HCMC ready for a splendid Christmas (photos)

Main streets in downtown Saigon have been lit up and decorated with colorful lights and decorations for Christmas which is 2 weeks away.

The weather has turned a little cold, adding more Christmas atmosphere the southern city which has been known for its hot weather.

As in previous years, the most splendid place in the city is the area with many shopping malls in District 1. While the Saigon Center shopping mall has chosen the theme of the fairytale Snow Queen for its decoration, Diamond Plaza impresses people by hanging Santa Claus dolls over its windows.
