Tao Dan Park

Tao Dan Park

Right in the heart of District 1, these 10 hectares (24 acres) of greenery are a welcome respite from the bustle of the city streets. Come in the morning to see swarms of locals exercising and doing tai chi, and look for the city’s bird lovers, some of whom bring their feathered friends to the park (in birdcages). Stroll down the bench-lined paths or read a book in the shade of tropical trees.
