Walking around D1

Hello,

Agreed, many things to see while walking around D1. I'd prefer quiet places as 23/9 Park or Tao Dan park. There are some fun activities at the park at night time such as aerobic group, dance group...interesting to see. The other areas i think very crowded at night, many tourists and locals

Yes, I agreed, there are many parks in HCM city and especially in D1 have the popular ones. As the lakes are what Hanoi is famous for, the parks are a main attractive area when going around D1. There are also music and english groups around the park too.

The Fine Arts Museum, Pho Duc Chinh Sreet, is worth a look. Pho Duc Chinh is a side street 200 to 300 metres SE of Ben Thanh Market.

Thanks for that information and I will take a peek in when walking around that area. This would be after Tet as I am back in Malaysia for Chinese Festival. For those who is familiar walking about D1 take a look at sensesofvietnam.blogspot.com for a reflections of life in HCM city center.

Yeah, that's right but beware of snatchers and thieves if you take your valuables with you
