Established during the French colonial rule in the late 1800s, the hospital served as a vital medical institution for the European community and Vietnamese population alike. The image showcases the grandeur of the hospital's architecture, with its red-tiled roofs, ornate columns, and intricate details that reflect the fusion of French and Vietnamese design elements.

The bustling street outside the hospital is filled with a diverse array of transportation systems, from traditional rickshaws and bicycles to horse-drawn carriages and watercraft. The presence of these vehicles underscores the city's vibrant transportation network, which facilitated the movement of people and goods within the town. The tranquil waters of the nearby lake add to the scenic beauty of the scene, providing a soothing contrast to the urban surroundings.
