The story

From Bach Dang Wharf you can ride the Saigon Waterbus upriver as a DIY sunset cruise, or book a proper dinner cruise with live music. Either way, golden hour turns the river gold and the towers switch their lights on around you.

Seeing the skyline — Bitexco, Landmark 81, the old riverfront — from the water at dusk is the calmest hour you'll find in this city. The humble water bus does it for pocket change.

Local tips

The Saigon Waterbus around 17:30 is the local-price sunset cruise — grab the open stern deck and ride a round trip.
