Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) On the evening of February 16, 2026 (the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month), the Saigon Marina International Financial Center (Saigon Marina IFC) in Ho Chi Minh City was ablaze with lights, officially unveiling itself with a special fireworks display. The dazzling spectacle was broadcast live on Vietnam National Television Channel 1 (VTV1), allowing the entire city to witness the birth of this new landmark.
This grand event, combining fireworks and a light show, was not only a visual feast but also a milestone embodying the city's spirit. Rooted in the historic Ba Son site—a land that has witnessed over two centuries of industrial and shipping development in Ho Chi Minh City—Saigon Marina IFC has undergone a magnificent transformation, becoming a new urban core that integrates finance, technology, and modern lifestyles. Under the night sky, this skyscraper, like a beating heart of the city, bursts forth with new vitality amidst the interplay of light and shadow. At the grand ceremony, a modern art light show perfectly blended cutting-edge lighting technology, the magnificent architectural silhouette, and the shimmering waters of the Saigon River, creating a flowing and dazzling spectacle. Among the highlights, the golden horse, symbolizing "prosperity, breakthrough, and renewal," emerged vividly in the light and shadow, becoming the finishing touch to the entire event. Fireworks bursting atop the tower soared into the sky, spreading a magnificent tapestry across the night, their reflections shimmering on the river, pushing the city's festive atmosphere to a climax. This light was not only the light of celebration on the eve of the Lunar New Year, but also the light of belief in urban development and the light of ambition to embrace the future.
The core vision conveyed by this event—"Saigon Marina International Financial Centre, a place where the light of the past, present, and future intertwine"—is a true reflection of this new landmark. It inherits the pulse of the city from the former Ba Song site, continues Ho Chi Minh City's pioneering spirit, and embarks on a new journey towards becoming an international financial center. (End)
