For anyone who want a deep, fresh breath in the smog and noisy Saigon, Tao Dan could be one of the parks that you can visit. It’s an old park that was built by French on 1869. Nowadays, it’s a public place that people can go for exercising with many activities. Sometimes, that park is used to held events.
This is my favorite park here in Saigon. A best places not only to wander around but to exercise after a stress day working. Furthermore, with a camera, you can easily take many photos because this park has a lot of beautiful scenes.
Recently, I usually come to this park for jogging in the afternoon. As many other people doing the same, you can feel the motivation and happy by not doing it alone. Along the way, you can see a lot of activities like Tai Chi, aerobics, badminton, dancing, jogging, body building, etc. which make a vibrant picture inside a quiet park.
Tao Dan park also has places for children to enjoy their summer, especially with a very hot weather nowadays.
