"Chill" high above Hanoi

Hanoi boasts 22 buildings taller than 160 meters, equivalent to over 35 stories. With their impressive height, these towers also offer priceless panoramic views. The bars and cafes on top of these towers have become a signature feature, reflecting the desire to enjoy the city's scenery from above – a true reflection of the modern city's trend.

As the lyrics of a famous 1960s song say, the aspirations of the previous generation have come true:

I stood on the high balcony, gazing out at the distant horizon.

From countless rooftops, the lights shine brightly.

The sky was filled with countless bright stars…

(The Stars of the Night - Phan Huynh Dieu)
