Sightseeing
Beautiful park around the lake. Great for romantic walk over the Cau Anh Sao bridge (lights up at night) or walk/jog around the entire lake. One of my favorite places to have a walk or go exercise.
This is also next to Crescent Mall and several high end food establishments.

This looks very similar to the Avengers building in Marvels Super Hero movies. Has an amazing view when there's a clear sky from the top deck (looks like helipad). You'll have to pay for a ticket to go up there. Not for those afraid of heights.

Although not quite in District 1 or 4 but it's quite a unique looking Christian Church in the middle of HCM City. It is located in District 3 which is 15 minutes away from District 4 (Icon 56 and Millennium Luxury Apartment). It's well worth the visit. Especially if you like the color pink!
