Indira Gandhi Park (30 August 2006)
Indira Gandhi Park is a park on the east side of Ho Hoan Kiem in Hanoi. During the French colonial era, it was a popular venue for the colonial officers to hold events and outdoor concert.
In 1984, the park was renamed in honour of Indira Gandhi, the assassinated prime minister of India who was a fervant supporter of Vietnam. Within the park is a huge statue of King Ly Thai To, the founder and first king of the Ly Dynasty. As with Ho Hoan Kiem, Indira Gandhi is often a busy meeting spot for the people of Hanoi, who come here to exercise, do "tai chi", play ball, dance, and generally relax.
Getting there
Indira Gandhi Park is located on the east side of Ho Hoan Kiem. If you are walking south along Dinh Tien Hoang street, it is on your left side. Look out for King Ly Thai To's statue as a landmark of the park.More information for visiting Vietnam
