Hey guys! Today I would like to tell you about the last stop of my journey through Vietnam. Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City (which is its new name) really surprised me very positively. I imagined the city to be as hectic and crowded as Bangkok, but far filthier, more boring and architecturally rather uninteresting. But Saigon really has something to offer for every taste, whether you're interested in sightseeing, shopping, peaceful parks or a cool nightlife. However, in this article I would like to show you my three absolute favourite photo spots in Ho Chi Minh City!

Hallo Leute! Heute möchte ich euch vom letzen Stopp meiner Reise durch Vietnam berichten. Saigon oder Ho Chi Minh City - so der neue Name, hat mich wirklich sehr positiv überrascht. Ich stellte mir die Stadt ähnlich hektisch und belebt wie Bangkok vor, aber bei weitem ungepflegter, langweiliger und auch architektonisch eher uninteressant. Doch Saigon hat wirklich für jeden Geschmack etwas zu bieten, egal ob man an Sightseeing, Shopping, gemütlichen Parks oder einem coolen Nightlife interessiert ist. In diesem Beitrag möchte ich euch aber meine drei absoluten Lieblings-Fotospots in Ho Chi Minh City zeigen!

1.) "Thu Thiem Bridge"

The bridge itself is absolutely uninteresting, but offers you probably the best view of the city center of Saigon with the Saigon River in the foreground. Here you can also admire beautiful sunsets as the sun disappears just behind the skyline. After dark the skyscrapers are reflected in the water, which can be used for impressive long exposures.

Die Brücke selbst ist absolut uninteressant, doch bietet Sie den wohl besten Ausblick auf das Stadtzentrum von Saigon mit dem Saigon River im Vordergrund. Hier kann man auch wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge bewundern, da sie Sonne genau hinter der Skyline verschwindet. Nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit spiegeln sich die Wolkenkratzer im Wasser, was man für beeindruckende Langzeitbelichtungen nutzen kann.

2.) "Starlight Bridge"

Another bridge, but here it is not about the view, this time the bridge itself is the center of attention. It is located at the outskirts of Saigon, in a very quiet, modern quarter that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Once the sun has set, the bridge transforms into an artificial waterfall illuminated in bright colours - simply adorable!

Noch eine Brücke, doch hier geht es nicht um den Ausblick, diesmal steht tatsächlich die Brücke selbst im Mittelpunkt. Sie befindet sich am Stadtrand von Saigon, in einem sehr ruhigen, modernen Viertel, das einen den Trubel der Innenstadt schnell vergessen lässt. Sobald die Sonne untergegangen ist, verwandelt sich die Brücke in einen künstlichen Wasserfall, der in bunten Farben beleuchtet wird - einfach nur wunderschön!

3.) "Chill Skybar"

I did a lot of research to find the rooftop bar with the best view. Here you can capture the second highest building of Vietnam, the "Bitexco Tower" and the brand new landmark of the city and highest building of the country, "Landmark 81" wonderfully within just one photo. This view is by far better than that of the Bitexco Tower by the way. The bar also offers a happy hour at sunset with real bargain prices for great cocktails!

Lange habe ich recherchiert, um die Rooftopbar mit dem besten Ausblick zu finden. Hier kann man das zweithöchste Gebäude Vietnams, den "Bitexco Tower" und das brandneue Wahrzeichen der Stadt und höchste Gebäude des Landes, "Landmark 81" wunderbar innerhalb eines Fotos einfangen. Dieser Ausblick ist übriges bei weitem besser, als jener vom Bitexco Tower. Außerdem bietet die Bar zu Sonnenuntergang eine Happy Hour mit wirklichen Schnäppchen-Preisen für grandiose Cocktails!
