Lenin Statue

Lenin Statue, in Lenin Park (3 September 2006)


Lenin Statue, or Lenin Monument, is a monument to the Soviet leader at the triangular playground called Lenin Park on Duong Dien Bien Phu Street. It faces the Army Museum. Most of the local people in the park appeared to ignore the statue. It is probably one of the world's few standing reminders of the Russian revolution, which today has been erased from Russia itself.

Getting there

Using the Ho Hoan Kiem as the starting point, walk west along Hang Khay. Eventually the road changes name to Trang Thi. When you reach a split, take the right branch which is called Dien Bien Phu Street. Cross the railway track and continue on until you see the Army Museum on your right, and the triangular park on your left. The Lenin statue is quite visible on 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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
