Like many other young souls, when Landmark 81 - the tallest building in Vietnam and Southeast Asia - opened its doors, I eagerly came here to experience this unique and pride-inducing space.
Following the footsteps of a young woman to explore the entirety of Landmark 81 - the tallest building in Vietnam and Southeast Asia
Dubbed the 'New Icon of Saigon,' many young folks specifically favor Landmark 81 - the recently inaugurated tallest building in Vietnam. This place has naturally become the leading 'Instagrammable' spot for photo enthusiasts. Follow me to get a close-up view of the beauty of this 'hot' entertainment spot in Saigon.
With a towering height of 461.3m, Landmark 81 draws inspiration from bamboo clusters in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. The building, with its 81 floors, became the tallest in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and ranks among the Top 15 tallest buildings globally upon completion. As a skyscraper, Landmark 81 proudly stretches upward, ready for a stunning photo from any angle.
Hence, this is the new and chic 'Instagrammable' spot, no less glamorous than those abroad, attracting numerous young visitors for sightseeing and photo hunting. Situated along the Saigon River, apart from being a photography haven, it's also an ideal place for a leisurely stroll, enjoying the riverside scenery, chosen by many young people.
Stepping foot here myself, I discovered that despite only opening its initial section as a shopping center, Landmark 81 attracts a significant number of daily visitors with a complete range of fashion brands, culinary delights, parks, entertainment zones, and beautiful cafes.
Similar to other shopping centers, Landmark 81 offers numerous entertainment spaces, including a cinema complex, an expansive 2,000m² ice rink, and an entertainment complex for children. Here, I felt like entering a miniature city for the elite with arching architecture, amusement parks, an Egyptian tower, and remarkable water fountains. Especially with the motto '1m2, 100 styles of photos,' you won't worry about lacking beautiful photos, as Landmark 81 continuously provides potential 'Instagrammable' backgrounds, attracting celebrities and bloggers for vibrant check-ins.
From 6 p.m. daily, Landmark 81 lights up with LED around the tower, brightening the entire area along the Saigon River. Like many young people, I also took the opportunity to 'hunt' for photos resembling those in the West and strolled around the complex with the camera ready for capturing 'beautiful from every angle' moments.
Now, there's no need to travel far; the young generation can still capture dazzling photos from the new symbol of Saigon. Have you explored Landmark 81? Don't miss the chance to visit Landmark 81 – the pride of the Vietnamese people.
