Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens

Established by the French colonial administration in 1865, this is the largest green space in the city centre and a pleasant place for a mid-morning or late-afternoon stroll. Next door, you’ll find the Hung King Temple, which honours Vietnam’s semi-mythical founding fathers. It was originally dedicated to the Vietnamese who fought and died in World War I.
