    Beautiful Monument
    This is a beautiful monument, and not far from the War Remnants Museum (right now the location on TripAdvisor is wrong). Striking story and a photo that you have likely seen before of the monk committing suicide in protest of the war via self-immolation. Worth a stop.

    A good photo stop
    Passed the statue on way to some mega shopping across the road.

    Good photo op on a very pleasant park. Not at all crowded if you visit in the evening.

    A Hidden Gem
    This Buddhist Monastery is about a 50-60 min cab or scooter ride from district 1.
    It’s a great place to spend 1-2 hours if you are interested in Buddhism or looking to capture some amazing photos.
    I hired a scooter round trip for about 300,000 dong and the ride there was amazing in itself!
    It would be very hard to find a way back without prearrangement.
    This visit was one of the highlights of my 1 month in VietNam

    Huge statue overseeing the river!
    Located within 3mins of walk from our hotel, this huge moat surrounded statue on a pedestal at the coastal boulevard depicting a legendary 13th-century Tran Hung Dao, grand commander of Thang Long during the Tran Dynasty.

    It was a sunny and warm day and we came by here for a photostop. We saw workers watering the beautiful plants and flowers at the park, clearing the weeds. It looked nice from a closer distance.

    However, there was no shelter/washroom here. And just opposite the busy road is the waterbus (cruise) station. And traffic here were peak all day round and you do need some "courage" to be able to cross the roads. Although there were traffic lights, no one seemed to bother about it and so it's of no use at all!

    Will not recommend this place for a visit that you must definitely come unless you happen to pass by here (or like us, staying very nearby), you can skip it with no loss to your trip to HCMC!

    Ornate Temple
    Ornate temple and shrine structures within a nice garden which is used as a park. Worth a trip out of the central city. Take time to wander along the nearby hems while you’re in the area.

    Avalokitesvara is associated with many countries with different symbolic meaning. what i know is this statue associated with wisdom goddesses. The aura here is charismatic .
