Indira Gandhi Park

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
