Tao Dan Park, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Tao Dan Park is a perfect place for a break from Ho Chi Minh’s busy streets. It is located in Ho Chi Minh’s District 1, the most tourist-friendly area of the city, and is always open. The park has children’s playground, plenty of open space and beautiful manicured gardens. There are over 1,000 trees in this 24-acre park, providing plenty of shade from the heat.
There are also tennis courts and a swimming pool adjacent to the park which are open to the public for a small fee. A good time to enjoy the park is the morning before the heat sets in. Stroll through the park and watch as the local residents perform tai chi. Another good reason to visit the park in the morning is for the singing birds. People from throughout Ho Chi Minh City bring their birds to the park to practice their singing skills. 

A nearby Buddhist temple is also worth for taking some photos. You can also find the miniature replicas of Nha Trang’s Cham Tower and Hung King Temple hidden amongst the trees.

Tao Dan Park is a place for tourists and locals alike looking for somewhere quiet. There is plenty of space to relax on the grass and enjoy a picnic, or simply chat and laze about. The playground is a good place to head if you’re traveling with children.

At dusk, the park quietens down, with people going for walks and enjoying the cooler temperatures. Once the sun goes down, the park does have a reputation for being a bit dangerous, so keep alert if you’re walking through at night.
