Just a few years ago, the Thu Thiem riverfront in Thu Duc City, stretching from Ba Son Bridge to Thu Thiem Tunnel, was a narrow strip of land with dilapidated structures and overgrown weeds. Today, this stretch of the riverfront has undergone a remarkable transformation. The once neglected riverbank is now adorned with lush green lawns, clean walking paths hugging the water’s edge, and vibrant flower beds, sculptures, and trees that wind through the emerging urban landscape.
The Thu Thiem riverfront now boasts a complete transformation with a well-designed system of lighting, walkways, benches, and signage. What was once an abandoned stretch of river is now a popular gathering spot for young people, especially at sunset when the golden hour light bathes the river in a warm glow.
A standout feature of the Thu Thiem riverfront is the Thu Thiem Creative Cultural Center, a modern open-air architectural masterpiece. This center has become a hub for cultural events, exhibitions, and artistic performances, attracting young creatives and infusing the new urban area with a spirit of innovation.
The area surrounding the Thu Thiem Creative Cultural Center is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for the creation of small squares or open-air stages by the river. This versatility fosters a vibrant community space for artistic performances and gatherings in a natural, open-air setting.
The Thu Thiem Creative Cultural Center regularly hosts exhibitions and artistic events, contributing to the area’s cultural vibrancy.
The riverfront walkway is shaded by rows of trees and adorned with flower beds in full bloom, creating a serene and vibrant atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Thu Thiem Park in Thu Duc City continues to evolve, becoming more vibrant and dynamic. Once a desolate area, it is now a green oasis with straight tree-lined paths, lush lawns, and well-maintained walkways along the river.
The area near Ba Son Bridge is undergoing a daily transformation, with modern and dynamic developments. In addition to the carefully curated green spaces, walkways, and trees along the river, a cluster of high-rise buildings is emerging, shaping the future Thu Thiem urban area.
The harmonious blend of open spaces, greenery, and urban architecture creates a symmetrical and impressive landscape, perfectly framing the bustling District 1 across the Saigon River.
The Ba Son Bridge, a new icon of Ho Chi Minh City, not only serves as a vital transportation link between District 1 and Thu Thiem but also stands out as a modern architectural landmark along the Saigon River. With its unique cable-stayed design, the bridge enhances the urban landscape on both riverbanks and has become a popular check-in spot for young people and tourists visiting the city.
From Thu Thiem Park, residents can enjoy breathtaking views of the bustling District 1, with its towering skyscrapers, grand hotels, and modern landmarks such as the Bitexco and Landmark 81 in the distance.
In addition to the Thu Thiem Creative Cultural Center and modern high-rise buildings, the area also preserves traditional culture with the An Khanh Temple, one of the oldest religious sites along the Saigon River. Amid the bustling urban development, the An Khanh Temple stands as a cultural and spiritual landmark, blending modernity with tradition and adding a unique dimension to Thu Thiem’s evolving landscape.
