Me Linh Square lies near the Saigon River and offers a relaxing alternative to the congested life of Ho Chi Minh City. An ideal place for a quick pit-stop, the area is well-shaded, lined with gardens, and is subject to a refreshing river breeze.

The centerpiece of Me Linh Square is a statue of the 13th-century military general Tran Hung Dao (1228-1300), who is still regarded as a national hero in Vietnamese culture. Me Linh Square is a cozy spot lined with trees and gardens.
