Uncle Ho is most famous for leading the Viet Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the communist-governed Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at Dien Bien Phu. He led the North Vietnamese in the Vietnam War until his death; six years later, the war ended with a North Vietnamese victory, and Vietnamese unification followed. Saigon, was renamed Ho Chi Minh City in his honor. Address: 86 Le Thanh Ton St., District 1, HCMC

Dam Sen Park belongs to district 11 in Ho Chi Minh City, at the corner of Lac Long Quan and Hoa Binh streets.The park’s infrastructure is divided into 30 parts and features several activities, restaurants, and shows, including a smaller reproduction of the Giac Vien Pagoda, the Thuy Ta floating restaurant, a lake similar to West Lake in Hanoi where one can fish, a puppet show, a bird garden, a water park, a sports center, and the Nam Tu Royal Garden.

The Saigon zoo is small and unfortunately mostly still cages. However you can see that they are starting to build more modern habitats for the animals. This zoo is worth a visit to see the elephants that dance in unison for peanuts. Leave a Comment Address: D Nguyen Binh Khiem

Not exactly the same kind you find in the West but something more interesting and unique that will leave you in awe. I'm talking about Suoi Tien, a theme park honouring the 4 sacred animals. The Dragon, Unicorn, Tortoise and Phoenix which is supposed to bring safety, happiness and good luck to you and your family. Suoi Tien has become one of the most attractive parks in the country and is on the way to join the rank of international - standard cultural parks in the world.

If you want to get an adrenaline rush, or just blow off a little steam, head to the race track. You can race your buddies for 50,000 VND ($3.25). That gives you 6 laps around the track. It's a little expensive, but I think it's worth the thrill. Leave a Comment Directions: It's in District 2, just after Saigon Bridge. You might ask some of the travel agencies on De Tham Street for assistance in getting there.

The Zoo is only small and not to the standards of other cities. In saying that, I quite enjoying walking around in the pleasant surroundings, the botanical garden and zoo are combined. They have quite a few African animals on display, and look to be doing it up. The admission price is only 8000dong, so cheap, and great for families. For me, it was a quiet place to relax for a while without being hassled by sellers.

To the South West of the reunification palace is a big garden where it is agreeable to forget for a while the traffic noise, to walk under huge trees and discover small temples in the green surroundings and some “interesting” modern statues.
In the middle of the park is this little Hindu style temple: Tháp Chăm trong công viên Tao Đàn (first picture); this little red brick construction under the lush vegetation reminds me shrines of Bali. . . . . as well as does this Shiva with her high cap on this small altar (picture 2).
Another temple, Den Tho - Vua Hung (picture 3), Buddhist, this time, may be worth a visit, as it is quiet here, and the manicured garden and the flowered alleys are just inviting to do so!
When you observe the workers in the garden, it is not a surprise, the gardens look really “manicured”! (picture 4).
And it is interesting to think how in the wet climate of Vietnam, the gardeners manage to maintain a Mediterranean garden with lots of cactuses (picture 5); Walking there is just relaxing and a feast for the eyes!
Directions: Next to reunification Palace Between Duong Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Duong Cach Mang Thang Tam and Nguyen Du

Ho Chi Minh city has many parks for you to go to. It's no wonder the Vietnamese are slim people, I see them at the parks every morning exercising before they go off to work. You wouldn't see an empty park but full of people doing some form of tai-chi, volleyball, badminton, aerobics or jogging
Forget the gym, just go out and join the locals for some healthy fun! Address: Any park in HCMC

It's quite impossible to find a place where there's no or low pollution. Motorcycles zipping all over the place, and the honking adds to the noise pollution.
It was great that my hotel was just in front of Tao Dan Park. One of the larger parks in Ho Chi Minh City, walking into the park brings you into another dimension.
Somehow, the noise seems to stop, and the place was a tinge bit cooler. Nice water fountain and big hanging trees adds to the serenity of the place. The park was teeming with life. Older folks were just sitting around for that morning chat; Adults doing their morning exercise "Qi Gong".
To the left of the park was a children playground. It was really impressive in terms of the overall quality of the equipment and the effort that the government has placed on giving the young a place to call their own. Directions: Surrounded by Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Cach Mang Thang Tam, Nguyen Du, and Huyen Tran Cong Chua streets. Opposite the Reunification Palace

Walking down the road from the Post Office, we came across a lovely park. I was nice to take a bit of time out from the mad traffic for a bit. Mind you, we could still hear the horn honking :o) Leave a Comment
