Tourists can explore the old apartment by stairs or elevator which costs 10000 VND (US$0.44) per person, Zing News reported.

At night, the building looks even more sparkling which has become a hot check-in destination among the young in Saigon.

Nguyen Hue Street, where the building is located, has been receiving thousands of visitors every day since its median strip was made pedestrians-only, and gets particularly crowded during weekends and holidays.
