LANDMARK 81 SKYVIEW - TOUCH THE WHITE CLOUDS IN THE HEART OF SAIGON
The other day I went up to Landmark 81 Skyview to take my friend from abroad to play, also to admire the Saigon scenery from above, and honestly, the experience was so awesome! For those who haven't been, read this article to see if you like it, I'll tell it in detail!

What is Landmark 81?
Landmark 81 is the tallest building in Vietnam, 461.2 meters high with 81 floors. Previously, it was also the tallest building in Southeast Asia. Located right at 720A Dien Biên Phủ, Bình Thạnh (old), right next to the Saigon River, you can see it overwhelmingly from afar.
The building is praised as the symbol of the new era Ho Chi Minh City, has entered the top 10 tallest buildings in the world. I think it really is a new symbol for the era and technology of HCMC, dethroning the once-famous Bitexco.

Experience going up high to admire the whole scene (Landmark 81 Skyview or Cafe on floor 76)
View from above - "Simply magical"
I went up to floor 79 and the feeling... WOW! Standing at the base looking up makes your neck dizzy, inside it's luxurious, the elevator zooms up to the high floor, open the door and all of Saigon is at your feet, lights shining brightly.
People say "The view of the sky is simply magical" (translated: The sky view is simply magical) - exactly right! Looking at the whole city from above, especially the late afternoon frame, the feeling is really "go high to change mood". -
Floor 76 - Blank Lounge
I stopped by for coffee on floor 76 (Blank Lounge) and have to say the space is luxurious - spacious, city view very wide. Sitting close to the glass, looking at Saigon is extremely satisfying, especially in the late afternoon when the sunset shines down on the whole city.

Vincom Center Landmark 81 - Modern shopping area
Below Landmark 81 is Vincom Center - a super large shopping center. The mall is spacious, occupies about 4 floors, has all kinds of stores although quite few domestic brands.
Below there is also a pretty cool ice skating area, last summer I came here to play, cool and the experience is quite fun, easy to skate
Location near large apartments, and being the tallest building in VN so it's naturally always crowded. There's also a spacious, beautiful CGV IMAX theater, I like drinking mango peach tea at CGV too.
