Check-in Ga Ba Son - a place to slow down in the sunset

The exit from Ba Son station on the banks of the Saigon River has become a familiar meeting place for those who want to find some peace in the middle of the city. From here, young people can look out to the Thu Thiem bank, watching boats drifting on the river in the sunset.

In the afternoon, many young people come here to sit on the grass, watch the river, and chat. Some people leisurely cycle along the embankment, some people drop their fishing rods, creating a rare peaceful scene in the heart of Saigon.

The rhythm is slow, contrasting yet still blending with the bustling crowd on Ton Duc Thang street.

There is an interesting contrast here: both noisy and quiet, both modern and nostalgic. Many young people say that the space here helps them temporarily forget about deadlines , get away from the noisy traffic to sit quietly and watch the buildings reflected on the river surface.

That is why this place has become a new dating check-in spot for young people.

“This afternoon, I just wanted to lie down for a while and take a deep breath. The grass was cool, the wind was gentle, and the sky was strangely clear. Suddenly, everything felt so light,” Phong Dinh (living in Saigon ward) shared.

Each frame is like a slice of time: a couple of lovers against a purple sky, silhouettes on the water, and in the distance, the city lights begin to come on.

Ms. Cao Thuy (living in An Nhon ward, old Go Vap district) shared: "Since the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien Metro line was put into service for the people, I have not experienced it. My daily work is also busy, so today I came here to walk around the city and experience the train. Ho Chi Minh City has two beautiful river banks in the central area. I haven't been here for a long time and I see a lot of changes."
