The skyline of Vietnam’s southern hub Ho Chi Minh City has been transformed yet again by a new addition: Saigon Marina IFC.
During this year’s celebrations on the eve of the Lunar New Year, this new landmark lit up the night sky in a spectacular fashion with a fireworks display that left spectators spellbound.
The moment was more than a celebration of light, but more of an emotional milestone, as a new symbol of the city rose and shone across the Saigon skyline.
Reflected over the Saigon River, the firework show marked the arrival of the New Year and was broadcast live nationwide on Vietnam’s national broadcaster VTV1 which transmitted the celebratory spirit of the city for audiences across the country.

A reflection of a city’s spirit
Designed to become an international financial centre, Saigon Marina IFC reflects Ho Chi Minh City’s pioneering spirit.
This new architectural icon was envisioned not only as a premium commercial complex, but as a central platform supporting financial institutions, international investors, and cross-border capital flows in the years ahead.
Set in the historic Ba Son district, once the industrial and maritime heartbeat of the city for more than two centuries, Saigon Marina IFC now stands as a convergence point of finance, technology, and modern lifestyle.
Surrounding the tower is a contemporary light-art space where architectural design, advanced lighting technology, and the reflective waters of the Saigon River blend together into a vibrant visual spectacle.
