Lying 5km from Ngoc Thuy is Long Bien Park, which spreads 16 hectares and costs VND94 billion.

The park has five gates and none of them have barriers.

The new park is renovated from an old, degraded park.

The renovation includes work to restore the lake of 50,000 sq.m with a new embankment, build new roads, and plant new trees.

"This park was desolate and filled with wild plants in the past so I barely visited it before, but now I usually come here in the morning," Nguyen Hoai Anh said.

Sanitation workers collect garbage in the lake.
