The Sky Garden food street in Ho Chi Minh City, District 7, a new addition to the city’s nighttime economy, is set to start operations in late August.
The new nightlife zone will span 2.6 hectares and include 222 businesses in food, wellness, commerce, and accommodation.
The area will undergo comprehensive upgrades, featuring new infrastructure and amenities such as a logo, a gate, free Wi-Fi, and QR code advertisements.
The zone is expected to operate daily from 6 p.m. to midnight, offering a wide range of entertainment, health care, and nighttime shopping activities.
Its central area will include Nguyen Van Linh, Pham Van Nghi, No. 2, and Bui Bang Doan streets.
According to the approved planning, the Sky Garden food street will not receive state funding and will not be pedestrian-only, allowing for normal traffic circulation.
District 7 also plans to develop two additional nightlife attractions: a 9,000-square-meter pedestrian-only food street at Crescent Lake – Starlight Bridge in Tan Phu Ward.
The Sky Garden nightlife zone is part of HCMC broader initiative to enhance its nighttime economy.
The city currently has nine-night street zones, including the Bui Vien and Nguyen Hue pedestrian-only streets in District 1. Bui Vien Street is a renowned nightlife and tourist attraction in Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It is an ideal venue for Western guests and young Saigonese to come and enjoy eating, drinking, and socializing. Bui Vien Street is often referred to as the “Western Street” or “Pho Tay,” reflecting its Western culture-oriented features.
Before becoming a walking street, Bui Vien Street was a popular destination for backpackers, who would come to explore unfamiliar cuisines, experience the local culture, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Bui Vien Street is located in Pham Ngu Lao Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The walking street is open to pedestrians from 7:00 pm to 2:00 am on Saturdays and Sundays.
Recently, a new night street began operations in Can Gio District, and plans for additional ones have been proposed for the Binh Chanh and Binh Tan districts.
