Tam Da in Thu Duc City is arguably the best known lotus lake in HCMC.
Of course, Tam Da is not comparable to its counterparts in the Mekong Delta’s Dong Thap Muoi whose lotus lakes are among the largest in Vietnam. Yet Tam Da is a favorite check-in site of young Saigonese.

About 20 kilometers from the heart of Saigon, Tam Da offers visitors the most beautiful lotus flowers to be found in this city. With a ticket at VND30,000, visitors may just watch lotus flowers in full bloom or have photo sessions at will.

Vietnam became a member of the Convention on Wetlands, known as the Ramsar Convention, in 1989.
So far, nine wetlands in the country have been recognised as Ramsar sites – wetlands of international importance.
Tram Chim National Park
The Ramsar Convention, signed in Iran’s Ramsar city in 1971, is an international treaty that provides a framework for the conservation and sound use of wetlands and their resources. It aims to stem the increasing encroachment on and loss of wetlands at present as well as in the future.

Losing their natural habitat and food source, red-crowned cranes no longer call a national park in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta home.
For three decades, Tram Chim National Park in the reed fields of Dong Thap Muoi in Dong Thap Province has been famous as a natural habitat for the large East Asian red-crowned crane, among the rarest in the world and classified “endangered” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
The cranes usually descend on the park from December to May, southern Vietnam’s dry season, to forage and mate prior to the onset of rainy, flood-prone weather.
