The old bridges waiting for collapse in Saigon

Anh Sao (Starlight) Bridge

The Anh Sao Bridge is located in the new urban area of Phu My Hung, District 7, spanning the Thay Tieu canal. This is considered the most beautiful bridge in Saigon with an eye-catching lighting and water spray system along the bridge. In addition, the two large squares on either sides of the bridge which simulate the moon and the sun make people feel like going to step on the moon and thousands of twinkling stars.

The Anh Sao Bridge is only for pedestrians. It is also an ideal place for taking photos of the prosperous city over 300 years old.

Thu Thiem Bridge

The Thu Thiem is a 1,250 m long bridge connecting the two banks of the Saigon River in District 2 and Binh Thanh District. As a modern bridge with six lanes from Thu Thiem new urban area to the city center, Thu Thiem Bridge has become a symbol of the city’s vitality, which is changing each day.

Thu Thiem Bridge has become the favorite destination of young people. This is also an ideal for fishing.

Saigon Bridge

Saigon Bridge is one of the bridges across the Saigon River, connecting Dien Bien Phu Street in Binh Thanh District with the Hanoi Highway in District 2. This is the main gateway to the inner HCMC from the central provinces and northern Vietnam.

With a length of 1,000 m, instead of using cars or motorcycles, you can ride a bicycle on the bridge to enjoy the wind and watch the Saigon River. In addition, there are the two resorts of Van Thanh and Tan Cang near the bridge, where you can stop to rest and relax in the cool space of trees.

Phu My Bridge

Phu My is the first cable-stayed and the largest bridge in Saigon with a length of over 2,000 m. It crosses over the Saigon River, connecting District 2 and District 7. It is seen as a new gateway to the city in order to reduce the traffic on the Saigon Bridge.

It is one of the best places to see in Saigon.

Ong Lon Bridge

This bridge is on Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard in District 7, spanning the Ong Lon canal. This is the first bridge with steel - concrete dome in Vietnam. From far away you can quickly realize the bridge with its characteristic red color.

Located on the largest and most modern road in Saigon - Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard – Ong Lon looks both modern and charming.

Khanh Hoi Bridge

Khanh Hoi Bridge is across the Ben Nghe canal, connecting Ton Duc Thang Street in District 1 with Nguyen Tat Thanh Street in District 4. In the past, Khanh Hoi was the only swing bridge in Vietnam.

Khanh Hoi Bridge with a length of 167 m is considered as one of the 11 critical bridges along the East - West Avenue. Although it spans Ben Nghe canal, from this bridge, you can still watch the Saigon River with a completely new perspective.

Mong Bridge

As a small bridge spanning the Tau Hu canal, Mong Bridge is a good place for visiting and taking pictures in Saigon. The bridge has a special structure that is curved like a rainbow. It has been there for over 100 years but until Mong Bridge was painted in peppermint green color, the bridge has been known more widely by tourists.
