The riverside tower
Riverside tower in the skyline: look up the full shaft from the bank, with the lower blocks beside it. The night frame lights the same shaft. Pair the look with the walk at Bạch Đằng when you want the river in the same hour. The ride out from Nguyễn Huệ is by taxi or ride-hail.

Landmark 81 from the riverbank, the full shaft and the lower blocks

Landmark 81 is the tall shaft in the riverside skyline, with Bitexco and Ba Son Bridge among the city’s modern icons. The photograph is the whole tower from the bank, with the lower blocks beside it and the river in front.

The second photograph is the same shaft after dark, lit above the neighboring blocks and the trees. Come for that skyline from the bank, on the same day as the walk at Bạch Đằng if the river is the point.
