An observation deck near the top of Landmark 81, currently Vietnam's tallest building, in the Vinhomes Central Park development on the Saigon River in Binh Thanh District. The deck gives a 360-degree view over the river, District 1's skyline and the sprawl of the city toward Thu Duc, a genuinely different perspective from ground-level Saigon. It's a commercial, ticketed attraction rather than a public viewpoint, with the usual gift shop and photo-op staging you'd expect from a supertall building's deck.
Landmark 81 SkyView is an observation deck near the top of Landmark 81, a skyscraper of 81 floors at 720A Dien Bien Phu in Binh Thanh District of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Completed in 2018, the tower stands about 461 metres tall and is the tallest building in Vietnam. It is part of the Vinhomes Central Park development on a bend of the Saigon River, a short drive from the city centre. The SkyView occupies the upper floors, and a fast lift carries visitors to a 360-degree indoor viewing level, with an outdoor section on one of the highest floors in the building. From the glass windows visitors can look across the river and the long Saigon River bend, over District 1's skyline and the Bitexco Tower, and across the city's sprawl toward Thu Duc and the horizon on clear days. The floor includes interactive displays, a small exhibition on the construction of the tower, photo spots, a cafe and a gift shop, so the experience is commercial and ticketed rather than a simple viewpoint. A visit takes about one to one and a half hours. Sunset, around 5:30-6:30pm, is the most popular time because visitors can see the view in daylight and after dark, and it is the busiest period, with weekends busier and pricier than weekdays. The tower sits above a large shopping mall with restaurants at its base, and Vinhomes Central Park has riverside parks and walkways that make for a pleasant stroll after the visit. Visitors should check the official website for current ticket types and opening hours.
