Start an exciting journey with Impress Travel’s Morning Walking Tour at Gia Dinh Park-right in the center of Ho Chi Minh Where nature and relaxation go under one arm. Every step outside of the hustle and bustle of the city into serenity within the compass of one of its largest green areas affectionately called the “green lung" of the city an invitation into a different kind of encounter. It is perfectly fitting for families, nature lovers, and people seeking tranquility. It’s an absolute must-try from our Ho Chi Minh Tours selection and a new way for Lakan b-uri to discover the charms of town by nature!
Let me tell you, Gia Dinh Park is not only a park; instead, it is a downright green paradise amidst Ho Chi Minh City. The moment one joins the Morning Walking Tour at Gia Dinh Park, sereneness from nature instantly engulfs them. Housing over 1,000 trees, all the vitality of the flora here creates a tranquil atmosphere that is just about magical. It’s an escape from the hustle of the city, but still close enough to keep you connected with key locations in Ho Chi Minh Tours.
You may be surprised to know that it used to be a golf course back in the 1950s. Yes! It is just so bewildering how Gia Dinh has transformed from being an elite playground to the public green sanctuary it stands for today. After reunification, space started turning into the open park that it is today, where locals and visitors alike could appreciate the beauty of nature.
What’s even more exciting about Gia Dinh Park is the community vibe that you’re going to feel here. Early in the morning, the park comes to life with people practicing yoga, meditation, and tai chi. Our Morning Walking Tour at Gia Dinh Park gives you a chance to observe it, and if you feel like it-even join these activities! Whether it’s a leisure walk for stretching your legs, a bit of outdoor fitness appreciation, or just a place you like the most because of serenity, this can be a perfect place to refresh your body and mind.
And now regarding ecological richness: there are over 1,000 trees of different species, including the giant ancient ones, so the park can only boast shade and coolness when the days are at their hottest. You will notice quite a few native trees such as the Lim Xet and Me Tay, and for those of you who enjoy bird watching, be sure to bring your camera as there are many species of birds to see within the park that just love to sing throughout the day. This is something you should not miss out on when taking the tour with Ho Chi Minh Tours.

I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
I booked with Impress Travel in July. My contact person was Tommy Thang. He is an amazing person. He was very helpful. He changed my program twice for me. Very accommodating!
