Bitexco Financial Tower
The viewing deck by the river. One tower at dusk is enough — not also Landmark 81.

Bach Dang quay
Bitexco, Bach Dang and Nha Rong. The river is dusk — not also all of Bui Vien.

Bach Dang Quay
Boats and ferries. A river slot takes the evening — do not also schedule the night market on shore.

Me Linh Square
The square and statue by Bach Dang. Five minutes. A foyer to the quay, not the destination.

Ton Duc Thang Museum
The small museum on the river. On rain, trade the boat for it — not also the palace.

Ba Son metro
The Line 1 stop before the river crossing. Use it to aim for Thao Dien or Thu Thiem.

Ba Son Bridge
The metro bridge across the river. One skyline glance — do not treat the bridge as a viewpoint terrace.

Nha Rong Wharf
The river museum in District 4. Pick this quay or Bach Dang — do not take a boat from both.

Saigon river edge
The District 1 river edge. At dusk, walk from Nguyen Hue to here and stop.

Ham Nghi
The retail street between the market and the river. Errands, not a view.
Food by Nha Rong
The meal after the wharf. Do not continue to Bui Vien.

Nguyen Tat Thanh
The District 4 river road. Heavy traffic — only the way in and out of Nha Rong.

Ton Duc Thang Street
The river-hotel strip. Stay here for the river — not to walk to Cholon.
