The skyscraper Bitexco Financial Tower with its 262 meters is the tallest building of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and the second tallest tower all over Vietnam, only beaten by Keangnam Landmark Tower in Hanoi with a height of 336 meters.

During the year 2010, Bitexco Financial Tower had the honor of being Vietnam ceiling, but that period of time was very short because in 2011 Keangnam Landmark Tower in Hanoi, conquered that title.

In Vietnam this building is also known as Lotus building, due to its design, inspired by a lotus flower, a symbol for Vietnam. However, it has some resemblance with Burj al Arab in Dubai, I guess because of the heliport on one of the sides of the building instead of on the top of the skyscraper.
