3 monumental abandoned buildings in the heart of Saigon
Thuan Kieu Plaza was built from 1994 to 1999, on an area of 9,971 m2. The total cost at that time was more than 55 million USD, including a complex of 3 towers, each with 33 floors. This includes a commercial center, 648 apartments and other utilities.

In 2015, a famous corporation completed the acquisition of this project, renamed The Garden Mall and officially announced from 3/11/2017. At this time, some famous brands here rented space to open stores after years of abandonment. However, later the gloomy atmosphere recurred, many brands closed and moved elsewhere.
When the Covid-19 epidemic broke out in 2021, the investor and the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee. HCMC renovated the 1st and 2nd floors of the building into a field hospital, with a scale of 1,000 beds to receive patients. These 1,000 beds were only renovated in the central business area, unrelated to the apartments in the 3 towers.

It seems that after the end of the time as a field hospital, the previous "ghostly" rumors will be removed, The Garden Mall will have hope of "reviving" again.

However, up to now, all 3 buildings still cover the cold atmosphere, sparse with people. The entrance to the upper floors is always in a state of "closed door" for a long time.

Most food stalls and business stores have returned their premises and closed due to no customers, only 2 stores, Manwah and Coop Food, remain open.

Around the building area there are guards on duty, in some paths, the investor also conducts ropes to restrict strangers from entering.

Through the door slot, you can see inside many items such as buckets, pots, tarpaulins, foam containers ... lying disheveled on the floor of the central business district. Accessories to decorate the main hall, lights and elevators were also removed and discontinued.

Some of the reasons given for Thuan Kieu Plaza are said to be the wrong identification of the object of service, the quality is not guaranteed or the wrong choice of feng shui. It is known that initially these buildings were aimed to serve residents from Hong Kong migrating into the city. HCM. Therefore, the apartments are designed in a stuffy style, narrow area, limited ceilings ... In addition, initially this is an apartment for rent, not ownership, so many people are afraid to spend billions of VND to rent for a few decades and then return it.

In terms of feng shui, many opinions about the design, the construction direction is not good, causing sluggishness, not many people want to live or trade are discussed, but this is only information in public opinion, there is no basis for clear determination.
False rumors around
Around Thuan Kieu Plaza there are quite a lot of rumors that make many people interested. Stories are woven about this high-rise building, passing on to each other. The first is about the shape of 3 buildings, many people say it is very similar to 3 incense trees, so this place is often called "3 incense trees".

Some ghostly spiritual stories are also passed on from one person to the other, making this building more spooky. In addition, there are other rumors quoting a person in District 5 who said that there was a good feng shui delegation from China to Ho Chi Minh City. HCM deciphered the building and concluded that this place violates feng shui because it resembles a three-masted ship but the mast is too big, while the hull is too small to be unbalanced and easy to sink.
Many people hear and know about the ghostly anecdotes about Thuan Kieu Plaza, but the actual truth surrounding this building is not popular is not clear to everyone.

In addition to miscalculations about the target audience, Thuan Kieu Plaza had two large fires in 2004 and 2009.

Specifically, on the morning of 27/12/2009, columns of black smoke rose from Thuan Kieu Plaza Shopping Center. The fire was initially determined to have started in the kitchen area of Thuan Kieu seafood restaurant on the 2nd floor and quickly spread to several nearby areas.

In late May 2004, a similar fire broke out in the corner kitchen of Thuan Kieu seafood restaurant, but the fire did not cause major damage as local police and civil defense forces contained the fire within 15 minutes.

Since the fire, the number of visitors to shopping centers and restaurants here has gradually increased and then disappeared. Business was sluggish and sluggish, causing many traders to decide to move elsewhere. Since then, rumors about ghostly spiritual stories surrounding Thuan Kieu Plaza have appeared more and more.

However, all of them have no concrete verification, only stopping at the level of word-of-mouth speculation. The fact that the house has been abandoned for many years, uninhabited, makes the air cold and gloomy is also understandable, not due to demonic causes.
