The observatory deck on Landmark 81, Vietnam’s tallest skyscraper located in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, was officially opened to visitors on Sunday.
Hundreds of people visited the Landmark 81 SkyView, situated on the 79th to 81st floors of the building, on the opening day to have a view of the southern metropolis from an altitude of nearly 400 meters.
The three floors are designed with glass windows so that visitors can have a look at the city at almost any spot.
The 79th floor offers multiple photo opportunities and accommodates the Miwaku café lounge.
The highlight of the 80th floor is a Japanese-style fine dining restaurant.
The 81st floor offers a service called SkyTouch, which surely attracts a lot of thrill seekers.
Visitors are able to have a view from an open space but they are required to wear a set of protective gear.
