This is the second part of our post on Saigon’s amazing Dam Sen Cultural Park, located in Hoa Binh’s District 11, which is 30-45 minutes southwest from Pham Ngu Lao, HCMC’s backpacker haven. I have to admit that I’ve only touched the surface of this tantalizing park. I didn’t have any idea what to expect from it. Not a lot of foreigners visit here. One of the reasons for that is its distance from central Saigon’s district 1. Which is a pity considering that there is just a surplus of attractions in Damsen. Heck, it even has a Dinosaur Park, a European Park, a Nordic Castle, and at night, they have a spectacular lanterns and lights show that was assembled by 60 Chinese and 60 Vietnamese experts.
Please refer to the 1st part for a more complete feature on this park including rates, directions and a historical backgrounder.
