White Palace / Villa Blanche (Bach Dinh)

Villa Blanche is a white French colonial mansion built at the end of the 19th century, nestled on the slopes of Mount Lon overlooking Front Beach. It once served as a summer retreat for French Governor-General Paul Doumer and later as the internment residence of King Thanh Thai. Shaded by ancient frangipani trees that bloom year-round, the mansion now houses rare historical artifacts and Kangxi-era ceramics.
