Relax in one of Ho Chi Minh’s best city parks where there’s a children’s playground, plenty of open space and beautiful manicured gardens.

Tao Dan Park provides travelers with a perfect location for a break from Ho Chi Minh’s busy streets. This 24-acre (10-hectare) park is home to over 1,000 trees, providing plenty of shade from the heat. If you’re feeling energetic, there are 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. Nearby is the Buddhist temple.

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. You’ll find the birds practicing until about 8 a.m. most mornings. See if you can also find the miniature replicas of Nha Trang’s Cham Tower and Hung King Temple hidden amongst the trees.

Throughout the day, Tao Dan Park is bustling with 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.

Tao Dan Park is located in Ho Chi Minh’s District 1, the most tourist-friendly area of the city, and is always open.

Scam, bugs, dirty, host is the worst. I would give this a negative if I could. Don’t believe me? Go check this out yourself. Maybe you get lucky and get one of the better rooms i wouldn’t know because the host isn’t helpful when you tell him problems. This place is a dumpster

10/10 Exceptional! (57 reviews)

The unit is spacious which is exactly what we needed, but we did not get the key on time as promised (there was a 30-minute delay), and the unit was not very clean and had other issues. We had to request the kitchen area to be re-cleaned, shower handle to be fixed, tissue papers to be provided…. One of the bathroom doors could not be locked and there are plenty of black moldy spots in the shower areas. This was the last stop on our two week long Vietnam and Cambodia trip, and it was the least clean unit, though the most expensive one we had booked. They also do not provide luggage storage on site as they told us it’s a service apartment not a hotel. On our second day stay, we requested clean towels. Did not hear back for a few hours. When we had to request again early evening for only two clean towels, we were told that we must make such request one day in advance. We were advised to wash the towels ourselves using the washing machine in the unit. Our family has been traveling around the world each year, and have never stayed in a place where a couple of clean towels could not be provided upon request. Despite the ample space and relatively good location, we’ll never book Zenity in the future.
