If Hanoi has the wonder of “the sea in the heart of the city”, the leading Japanese park in Southeast Asia … then Ho Chi Minh City has the Landmark 81 tower – the top tallest building in the world or the 36ha Great Light Park. …
Those are the new modern urban symbols worthy of wonder, which can be called “works with a heart” when built from the enthusiasm of the architects.
Wonders of the blue sea in the heart of the city
“Bringing the sea to the city” is what Vinhomes Ocean Park (Gia Lam, Hanoi) surprised everyone with the idea of ”impossible”. Before that, with most real estate projects, “water surface” was usually just a few artificial water streams or larger than a small lake to create a landscape.
Vinhomes, on the contrary, aimed at what no one had done at that time, creating a real beach-like resort life for its residents right in the middle of the capital. From that idea, this real estate developer was determined to bring an artificial saltwater lake of up to 6.1 hectares and a freshwater lake with white sand of 24.5 hectares in the heart of the metropolis. Since then, the name “city of sea and lake” has become the proud name of the residents of “New Hanoi” in the East of the Capital.
Extraordinary works come from extraordinary ways! After only 70 days and nights of speedy construction with 3 contractors “in action”, 1 million blocks of earth were dug up, 400 trucks carried soil in and out every day, “the largest freshwater lake with white sand in Vietnam” with The name Ho Ngoc Trai was formed. To create the landscape, the investor Vinhomes has meticulously transported natural sand from Nha Trang and filtered many layers to get a 35m wide white sandbank like in a real beach. Underneath the lake is 50 tons of fish released to create a diverse ecosystem.
In particular, the 6.1ha wide saltwater lake right next to Pearl Lake is a “unique” wonder not only in urban areas in Vietnam but also in the world. The salty, blue seawater from the world’s leading advanced technology solution has brought Vinhomes Ocean Park residents a life “in the sea” in the heart of the city that cannot be found anywhere else.
That life, combined with many other projects in the coastal city, such as more than 117 hectares of parks, trees, water surface, more than 60 children’s playgrounds, 150 sports fields,… has opened. Create a truly vibrant 365-day resort city for the people.
For residents of Vinhomes Ocean Park, wonders such as saltwater lakes and seas are what keep them attached to their homes. Because those are the feats created from the heart of the urban developer, touching the heart of each resident – something not every investor has enough motivation and enthusiasm to do.
Pride named Japan Park
Located in Vinhomes Smart City (Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi), the 6.1-hectare Zen Park Japanese Park since its opening (in 2019) has become the pride of not only people in this metropolis. .
This is one of the very few Japanese parks in Southeast Asia that can create features in the cultural traditions of Japan in such an original, feat and scale.

The wonder of the leading scale “Park of Light” in Southeast Asia
With an area of 36 hectares, the Vinhomes Grand Park Light Park (HCMC) is many times larger than the large parks in Ho Chi Minh City, even one of the leading “terrible” parks in Southeast Asia.
Inspired by the famous Gardens by The Bay in Singapore, architectural masters from the world’s leading corporation – EDSA (USA) have created a life-long work with 15 “super light” plants. 16-25 m high.
With so many people in Ho Chi Minh City, every afternoon becomes something to look forward to when the moment the sun sets and the “supertrees” simultaneously stretch themselves up to the sky, with thousands of glowing branches spreading out in all four directions. Standing under the big “trees” with many adult arms, feeling the brilliant canopy of trees that cover the whole sky, it is a thrilling moment, entering the hearts of many people by the magnificence of an unprecedented project.
