Tao Dan park is one of the big green spaces in Saigon. It is mostly walled off from the huge flows of traffic that go around it. I found I quite like it, after using it for my daily old man walking circuit in 2023. In Tao Dan park there are:- child and adult playgrounds,- places where people put up nets to play badminton,- walkers, joggers and runners,- people meditating,- people doing tai chi chuan,- people filming movies while cooking the actors inside giant mascot suits alive,- competing aerobic workout regimes,- and wedding photos.This track is based on one walking loop around the park. Please excuse the occasional coughing; I had a very terrible cold/bronchial infection that was going around at the time.Part of a series of what you can hear around Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City).
