Van Hoa Park - Saigon
On any given morning there is a myriad of activities going on in the park. This park situated near the Re-Unification Palace is studded with sculptures, towering trees, shrubs in the shapes of dragons and tigers and in it's heart lies a pagoda.
Every morning the locals head to the park to do all manner of exercise including Tai Chi and various forms of Martial Arts. It's also a popular place for power walkers, joggers and aerobics.
On a Sunday morning (and maybe every Sunday) crowds of men bring their caged birds to the park. The men sit and drink coffee and chat and the birds sing to each other. Hearing birds in general is rare in Vietnam, hearing such a cacophony of songs is unbelievable!
