22 Gia Long Street, Apartment building in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The residential structure at 22 Gia Long Street features multiple floors with a flat rooftop accessible through an elevator to the ninth floor.
During Operation Frequent Wind in April 1975, the building served as an assembly point for evacuating United States personnel from Saigon via helicopter.
The street name changed from Gia Long, named after a Vietnamese emperor, to Ly Tu Trong, honoring a young revolutionary executed by French forces.
The building stands at coordinates 10.7783 latitude and 106.701 longitude, approximately 950 meters from the former United States Embassy location.
A photograph by Hubert van Es showing people climbing a rooftop ladder during evacuation caused widespread confusion about the actual evacuation location.
