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.
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.
