Ho Chi Minh City | Is "Little Shanghai of Vietnam" a well-deserved title?

| Is "Little Shanghai of Vietnam" a well-deserved title? This is my second trip to Ho Chi Minh City after 9 years, and I can feel that there are more tall buildings here. Vietnam has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, and Ho Chi Minh City, as the economic center of Vietnam, has become visibly more prosperous, and some people compare it with Shanghai. This time, I took aerial photos of Ho Chi Minh City. Do you think it can be called the Little Shanghai of Vietnam? - 1️⃣~3️⃣ Large areas of bungalows in District 4 From the sky, it has the feeling of an urban village in Guangzhou, but if you look closely, it is still very different: Vietnam has many narrow and long houses, because in the past, taxes were levied based on the width of the building facade, so this type of "tube house" was formed. - 4️⃣~7️⃣ Skyscrapers in Ho Chi Minh City These are the first and fourth tallest buildings in Vietnam: the 461m Landmark 81 and the 262.5m Bitexco Financial Tower. In general, the skyline of Ho Chi Minh City does not yet have the connected and well-arranged feel. - 8️⃣ Cafe Apartment I really like the facade of this building, which is full of commercial vitality. - 9️⃣ City overview - If Shanghai's city view is 10 points, how many points would you give Ho Chi Minh City? -
