At the end of December, the Saigon River park area on the Thu Thiem bank, at the foot of Ba Son Bridge, Thu Duc City officially opened to visitors. This is the venue for the New Year 2024 celebration week with the theme "Thu Duc Convergence" taking place from December 23 to February 17, 2024.
In recent times, the Bach Dang wharf area and Saigon riverside park have become one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Ho Chi Minh City. With a prime location from Ba Son bridge to Saigon river tunnel (Thu Duc city), this park has attracted many tourists since the beginning of the holiday season. It has many facilities such as shopping malls, convenience stores, cruise terminals... However, the most special highlight is the sunflower garden, which adds to the romantic and impressive space of Saigon riverside park.
Ms. Thanh Thuy (District 3, Ho Chi Minh City) shared: "This is the first time I've been to this park because I see that this place is quite hot on the internet recently. Just go over Ba Son bridge to get there, quite convenient for everyone to visit. The park is large so it's comfortable, no need to worry about being too crowded. I like the sunflower garden here, next to the river so it looks very beautiful in pictures."
Currently, more than 15,000 sunflowers are blooming, attracting a large number of locals and tourists.
With a length of about 600 m and an average width of 40 m, extending from the wharf to the tunnel across the Saigon River, this park is delicately designed, friendly to nature and the environment. This place is spread with many trees, lawns and walking paths for people and tourists to freely play or check-in.
The special feature of the park is the sunflower field with an area of over 5,200 m2, located along the riverbank and behind An Khanh Temple. Currently, more than 15,000 sunflowers have begun to bloom in time for the New Year, attracting people and tourists to visit, entertain, and take pictures. The second phase is expected to have about 20,000 plants blooming on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2024. With the sunflower garden, visitors have the opportunity to check in with a "million dollar view" when the entire splendid city is in sight.
From here you can see the whole view of Ba Son bridge.
And the water buses are bustling every day.
Saigon Riverside Park is not only an ideal destination for young people to come and immerse themselves in the open space, but also attracts them by the appearance of the Black Stone coffee chain and GS25 convenience store. These are two addresses that occupy the "spotlight" at the riverside park when owning an extremely prime location to view the city. Sitting by the river, chatting with friends, enjoying delicious drinks and admiring the poetic scenery will certainly be an experience worth trying for the weekend.
However, despite having sunflower gardens, cafes and some eating places, the park still has many unfinished items. Cafes are still quite sparse, which often leads to a lack of seating for visitors.
Cute message for visitors.
Returning to this place for the second time, Kim Ngan (25 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) said: "The brilliant sunflower field, stretching out in the sun, is always a place that attracts many visitors. In my opinion, the best time to take excellent photos is early morning or sunset, the sunlight shining on the flower garden makes the scene even more brilliant and impressive."
With just over a month left until Lunar New Year, when 20,000 sunflowers will bloom, this place promises to be a check-in spot that attracts many young people and tourists to visit, next to Nguyen Hue flower street or other familiar places.
Many families and young people come here to visit and take Tet photos.
