Top Nature Spots in Ho Chi Minh City

The lake area is gorgeous, but the benches fill up fast, especially on weekends. I suggest bringing a lightweight blanket to relax on the grass instead; it worked well for us!

Check the weather before you go; rain can really put a damper on your plans. I got caught in a downpour, and it took some fun out of the experience. A poncho can save your day!

Don't skip the little attractions scattered throughout the park. They can be quite charming and less crowded. I stumbled upon a cool art installation that wasn't in any guide I saw!

Bring a portable charger! I found myself snapping a ton of photos, and my phone battery drained quicker than I expected. Keeping it charged means you won't miss any moments.

Watch out for the monkeys! They’re super playful but might try to steal your things if you're not careful. I lost a sandwich to one!

I suggest wearing comfy shoes. There’s a lot of walking, and some paths were uneven, which made it harder to enjoy the scenery.

Make sure to bring some snacks! The food inside was a bit pricey, and having a small picnic in the garden was a lovely experience.

If you're planning on enjoying some snacks, bring your own picnic! The park has some small vendors, but prices can be a bit higher... I packed some food and it made our visit more relaxing and budget-friendly

I suggest visiting Rin Rin Park early in the morning, around 7 AM, when it's nice and peaceful, perfect for photos and a morning stroll. The crowd builds up later in the day, and you’ll miss that serene vibe.
