Dragon House (Vietnamese: Bến Nhà Rồng) or Ho Chi Minh Museum is the original commercial port of Saigon. It is located on the Saigon River. Construction began in 1862 and more than a year later, in 1863, the house was completed. It is located at the junction of the Saigon River in District 4.

On 5 June 1911, Ho Chi Minh (at the time named Nguyen Tat Thanh) departed from the Dragon House on the French ship Amiral de Latouche-Tréville for a 30-year journey around the world. Therefore, in 1979, the old headquarters building of the commercial port has been rebuilt into a memorial park in Ho Chi Minh City.

During the Vietnam War the building was used by the United States Military Sea Transportation Service.[1]
