Lenin Park at Hanoi
By Donna Ludlow | October 7, 2008
If you are walking around in the vicinity of the Temple of Literature, you may wish to take a look at this park. The park is popular with young lovers holding hands (and sometimes a bit more than that…) and older folks feeding the pidgeons. A statue of Lenin is a key feature here- a reminder of the socialist past that continues to influence the country.
When we drove past there was a rather large crew of workers in drab grey uniform down on their knees cleaning the metal stakes surrounding the park. I guess some things are still run by the state govermment.
