Tao Dan Park (Vietnamese: Công viên Tao Đàn) is an urban park in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam behind the Independence Palace.[1][2] It is of the largest parks in the city, covering 10 hectares.[3] Part of the park will be used for the Ho Chi Minh City Metro Line 2's Tao Dan Station.[4][5]

Bird cafe

[edit]

The park formerly hosted an outdoor bird cafe that served coffee and attracted songbird owners, who would hang their birdcages and listen to them sing.[6] Now a construction site for the metro station, the cafe was moved across the street from the park to Cong Doan Cafe.[7][8]
