In the bustling heart of Saigon, sometimes we just want to find a peaceful little corner to temporarily forget the chaos, and watch the magical moment of interaction between day and night. That is also the reason why the trend of rooftop bars is so popular with young people.
However, to find a truly romantic “coordinates” for sunset hunting, where both space and flavor blend, is not easy. Luckily, Rang Chieu Rooftop is the answer.

Considered a “miniature Da Lat” in the heart of Saigon, Rang Chieu is the ideal place for you to “chill” and fully enjoy the beautiful “sunset” moment falling over the city. The shop is located in Phu Nhuan District, quite convenient to move from central districts such as District 1, District 3. You just need to go straight across Cong Ly Bridge or major roads such as Phan Dang Luu and Nguyen Van Troi to get there.
If your main purpose is to “hunt” the sunset, the golden time to come is around 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. onwards. This is the time when the sun begins to set, the sky changes color from bright orange-yellow to romantic purple-pink. This time is ideal for you to choose a suitable seat and prepare your camera to capture the breathtaking scenery.
2 Review of the Rang Chieu Rooftop space, what is special about it?
2.1 Rang Chieu Rooftop with rustic and cozy design style
If you’ve ever visited Da Lat and fallen in love with the rustic, peaceful wooden cafes, you will love Rang Chieu. The entire space is mainly designed with pine wood, from simple tables and chairs, walls to pallet floors. This combination brings a feeling of closeness, familiarity and completely avoids the glamor of modern bars and pubs.
The highlight that creates warmth and romance is the system of yellow lights arranged alternately. When the lights come on, combined with the darkness and the cool breeze overhead, the space becomes strangely poetic. Green plants are also cleverly used to create a sense of nature, helping visitors feel relaxed, like they are truly lost in a small elevated garden.
2.2 “Million dollar view” to fully enjoy the afternoon of Saigon
Located on the 7th floor, Rang Chieu Rooftop offers a large view, covering the entire Phu Nhuan district, part of District 3 and District 1 from above. This is not a “sparkling view” with flashy skyscrapers. Rang Chieu gives everyone a “healing view” with close-up rooftops and busy roads with cars and people passing by.
This location is especially ideal to fully watch the sunset. As the sun gradually disappeared behind the buildings, the sky was dyed a warm orange-red color, then slowly turned to a gentle pink-purple color. That scene brings a feeling of peace and is extremely romantic. Like poet Yen Lan once wrote about the moment of dusk, this place lets you feel the quiet but poetic transformation of Saigon.
2.3 “Virtual living” corners that cannot be missed
Rang Chieu is a paradise for “virtual living” believers because the shop has many beautiful photography corners. Vietnamtravelio suggests you can prioritize angles such as:
Legendary balcony corner:
This is the most “expensive” location, where you can take in the full romantic sunset view behind. The yellow light of the lamp and the natural light of the late afternoon promise to create extremely soulful photos.
“So deep” angle with light bulb:
The central area of ​​the shop with strings of sparkling yellow lights, combined with rustic wood material, helps you easily create “so deep” poses in a romantic, vintage style. Because it is one of the “hottest” photography corners, this area is often quite crowded, so be sure to go early.

3.2 Extremely delicious “hybrid” snacks
The menu of snacks at Rang Chieu is very rich and has been praised by many diners. The dishes are all prepared in a simple but high-quality “hybrid” style, very suitable for chatting with friends.

4 A special experience at Rang Chieu Rooftop with a romantic Acoustic music night
This is one of the most important highlights, making Rang Chieu not only a place to admire the scenery but also a place to enjoy music. Romantic Acoustic music nights are the “specialty” of Rang Chieu, with performances taking place every Saturday night, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
To be able to enjoy this music night, the shop will have a small surcharge of 30,000 VND/guest. This surcharge is completely reasonable to pay for the band’s sound quality and performance.
You can watch the sparkling city lights from above, sip a cocktail and listen to gentle, romantic music. Customers also have the opportunity to request songs or interact and chat with the band, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere. This is definitely a great experience for going on a date or relaxing with friends.
5 Experience and useful “tips” when coming to Rang Chieu Rooftop
If you want to watch the sunset and have a nice seat, you should arrive around 5:00 pm – 5:30 pm. This is especially important on weekends because the restaurant will be very crowded. However, if you arrive too early right before opening time, you may encounter a situation where the restaurant has not been cleaned or arranged yet. Therefore, for the most comfortable experience, arrive about 30-45 minutes after official opening hours. Therefore, after 5:00 p.m. is the perfect time for you to visit the restaurant.
In addition, you should also note a few other things such as:
– The shop has parking in the basement of the Arrivals building, very safe and convenient. You will need to pay a small parking fee according to regulations.
– Always remember to check and take note of the music surcharge on Saturday nights or special occasions.
– Because the shop has a rustic “miniature Da Lat” style, you should choose light, vintage or warm-toned outfits to easily blend with the space and create the most beautiful photos.
