Built in 1923, the five villas are named after the trees and flowers planted around them: Cactus Villa, Frangipani Villa, Flame Tree Villa, Bougainvillea Villa, and Indian Almond Villa. Between 1940 and 1945, King Bao Dai and Queen Nam Phuong, along with their family, frequently visited this historical site for relaxation, hence its name, Bao Dai Villa. Photo: Phuong Linh
