From the outside, Bitexco Tower, the tallest building in HCMC is impressive enough. The 68-storey, 262-meter skyscraper is reportedly reminiscent of the lotus flower which Vietnamese people normally refer to as the floral emblem, while if you focus on the helipad, the building resembles a CD rack. The tower offers an awe-inspiring 360-degree view of the city and many dining options where visitors can skip the Skydeck on the 49th observation floor and go straight to Eon Heli Bar on the 52nd floor for a late afternoon or night drink. It’s definitely worth a visit to get a sense of the city’s geography and dense population.
