Vietnam Vietnam Tourism

Vietnam Ho Chi Minh Trip

When it comes to sightseeing in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

There are many tourist spots, but

No matter where you go, there is one place you always stop by

And that is the zoo!

This time, I went to Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens, so I will share my experience there.

📍 Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens
📍 2 Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm, Bến Nghé, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh 700000 Vietnam

My way of sightseeing is to research the places I want to go to in advance, put a pin on the map, and then walk around using that as a guide,

I thought Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens was a spot I couldn't miss, so I went there on a whim,

But when I looked it up later, I found out that Saigon Zoo and Botanical Gardens is the oldest zoo in Asia!

I just wandered around, but it was a zoo with an incredible history lol

The predecessor of the Saigon Zoological and Botanical Gardens

was a botanical garden established in 1864 by French botanist Louis Pierre.

This year marks the 159th anniversary!

There were a variety of animals on the vast land as well as a variety of plants

A rare sight was the white tiger

It was my first time seeing one, but I was asleep lol

If you take your time to look around everything, you could spend the whole day playing
