The speedboat slips away from Tan Cang pier as the city tilts toward dusk, water slapping the hull and office towers stroking the sky with glass. From the bow you watch Saigon Bridge and Thu Thiem Bridge frame the river like moving architecture while neighborhoods slide past—stilt houses, floating nets, and container terminals sharing the same current.
