Don't miss Turtle Lake when visiting Saigon, Vietnam!

🌈Highlights: Turtle Lake is a roundabout park in the center of Saigon, located in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The park is known for its tranquil pond, lively fountain, and iconic lotus-shaped tower, making it a city oasis that blends the historical charm of feng shui with modern vitality. 👍️Must-visit: Turtle Lake is filled with mysterious legends from the time of South Vietnam before reunification, and has become a popular gathering place for locals and international tourists.

The park was originally built in 1878, and later architect Nguyen Ky designed and built a monument. The lake features five tall concrete pillars and an alloy turtle statue, representing the legendary feng shui dragon's tail, with the dragon's head located at the Independence Palace. This symbolizes the consolidation of peace and prosperity, making it a unique landmark in Saigon. 🚗Getting there: Located in the city center, within walking distance. 💗Other tips: The park is currently a roundabout, with several streets converging around the water pavilion in a Bagua pattern.
